1. Someone who listens to metal music and/or any of its sub-genres (Heavy Metal, Classic Metal, Thrash Metal, Glam Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal, Industrial Metal, Power Metal, Progressive Metal, Hair Metal, Doom Metal, Alternative Metal, Symphonic Metal, Gothic Metal, Metalcore, Nu-Metal, ect.)
Someone who is open minded and respects other people's tastes in music, because they realize that their music isn't everyone's cup of tea.
2. An arrogant, elitist hypocrite who believes that his or her tastes in music is better than yours.
Someone who will criticize bands they don't like for doing things you'll see their chosen bands doing all the time (which they will conveniently ignore.)
Someone who complains about pop music and how bands such as Linkin Park are corrupting the metal industry.
Someone who mentions how much they hate Lady Gaga on a youtube video that has nothing to do with her to begin with.
Someone who constantly argues with the "no true scottsman" logical fallacy by saying that metal bands they don't like simply aren't metal (even though they are somehow corrupting the metal industry, see Linkin Park again.)
Someone who wants to tell you what to wear, how to act and what religion you should follow, while simultaneously accusing "mainstream" audiences of doing the exact same thing.
A homophobe that will call you a fag if you like music that he or she doesn't.

Type one metalhead: I like Metallica and Lady Gaga. I like Alice in Chains and Jazz music. I also like Linkin Park and Beethoven. And no, I don't see a problem with that.
Type two metalhead: You shouldn't listen to Linkin Park because they're not real metal. They're corrupting the metal industry with their shitty emo music. You can only listen to bands like Nightwish and Lacuna Coil. Everything else sucks. Besides, I think you're only listening to pop music because other people are telling you to. You're such a gay emo f**!!! Go DIE!!!

A proud listener of the Metal music genre. Metal can be broken down into sub-genre such as Power Metal, Death Metal, and much more. Such sub-genres such as Glam Metal and Nu Metal are widely critized and mocked by other metal heads. Some of the most well known bands are Black Sabbath, VENOM, and Bathory. The stareotyped metalhead dress is a denim patch jacket with multiple band patches on them, blue jeans, and a metal shirt, accompanied with shirt with a metal band on the front, combat boots, and long hair, usually past the shoulders but with modern times, short hair is also wildely accepted in metalhead culture. Though each of the different sub-genres also seem to dictate a different type of dress, such as Black Metal which dictates more of a black leather jacket, corpse paint, and bullet belts, or like Nu Metal idiotic baggy pants and shirts.
"Dude those crazy metalheads in the mosh pit totally smashed that stupid idiot with the SlipKnot shirt!"

Metalhead is a person who listens to metal music, no matter what subgenre of it.
A metalhead belongs to a subcluture which consists of metal music, dressing up metal like studs, spikes, leather or black clothes & band shirts in general. They often attend countless metal shows with all their metal buddies. Nothing wrong with it.
But metalheads divide in two, one side has the intelligent and the other the stupid. The first side usually had good grades at school, they never abused alcohol and are generally very educated, smart and intelligent people who just happen to like heavier music.
The other side however has people who nearly dropped out of school, drink alcohol more than anything else, swear, are violent and lack of brains.
Often these two sides of one subculture clash with eachother, making metal subcluture one of the most notorious and controversial of them all.
Metalheads also tend to be elitist towards the music they don't listen, EVEN inside their own subculture. check example 1
Not all metal listeners are metalheads. They do enjoy heavier music to a great extent, but they choose not to dress according the subculture and are very open to all music. They do attend metal shows, but every gig that comes to the country isn't a metal must. Those people aren't metalheads, they're metal listeners. check example 2

1 Metalhead 1: black metal is the ultimate grim, all melodic shit is gay!
Metalhead 2: I don't get black metal, it doesn't have any melody, it's just noise!
Metalhead 3: Shut the fuck up you two, both are just fine!
Metalhead 1&2: No YOU shut up, there's only ONE true metal genre!
2 Mary listens to the most evil metal music there is, but has only attended three shows in her entire life. She also loves to wear pretty high heels and lots of white (or any color that isn't black). She doesn't have many metalhead friends, she'd rather go shopping for new purses while listening Gorgoroth via her headphones. She's not a metalhead but metal listener.

Metalhead (adj.)
Metal heads (or Head bangers) : They are a group ofindividuals who listen mainly Metal, but often have a wide variety of music tastes like Blues, Rock, Punk etc…They are very Liberal folks, non-Conformists, they enjoy partying,( rumour as it that metal heads praise a Beer God and drink in order to pray for protection in mosh, Knowledge in good music) Alcohol , Sex ( it’s strange fact, but metal heads do get laid a lot really) moshing, going to concerts and festivals and try to have as much fun as they can and doing some head banging to their favourite bands, they tend as early someone said to be a clannish group unlike others , that means that they are united by Metal, for example : if a metal head sees another being mugged , he’ll surely will try to help, Brotherhood-like.(Fact: Metal heads like to fight a lot! And sure have the gear for that, they tend to love battles of old, and thus they see themselves warrior-like, mainly the Viking\Nordic type or medieval type.)They seem very aggressive but that’s a stereotype, ‘cause they tend to be very fun, nice, cult and intelligent people, who have their own opinion, and different points of view, they tend to dislike the closed-minded, conservative, and main-stream people, Organized Religion like Christianity, Posers, Dumb Cults like Scientology and are wrongly associated with Satanic\Goth\Skin\Thieves\Drug-addicts, the truth is that most of them have Pagan Beliefs or simply have no belief, they tend have a very special care for their hair(when they have it), as is they’re most prized possession (some believe it’s a sign of status quo inside the clan, the bigger the hair, the bigger respect)They don’t give a fuck about what people think about them, they dress as they want, mainly black clothes ( see description in bottom ) , they tend to act in a relaxed fun way.The group is often swarmed with Poser\wannabe Metal heads who don’t think by themselves and have a scarce knowledge of Metal; on the other hand we have the common Metal head, mainly called TRVE (term often applied inside Black Metal heads, see description in bottom). Metal heads tend to have relations of affection with female metal heads or Goth-babes; there are exceptions of course. There are a lot of metal types like Black\thrash\death\ see wikipedia, and thus each type of metal produces different types of metal heads For example: Black Metal often produces metal heads in black leather jackets, filled with spikes, chains and bullet belts, and unreadable band t shirts names or logos, they tend to be the most aggressive along with thrash metal heads… but mainly metalheads listen a lot of different types of metal, but specializes in one or two.True: What’s Trve? Is the pursuit of knowledge and bands inside Metal genre etc…It’s a confusing term that only metal heads understand.Clothes\ways of recognising: Long-hair, military pants, chains, bracelets with spikes, Combat boots, leather jackets, band t shirts, Piercings\tattoos sometimes, a bottle of beer hiding somewhere, doc martens black in colour, bullet belts.

People that head bang to metal music. (Which does not include Insane Clown Posse) They hate Emos because they basiclly mock our stye whether your goth or just a band t-shirt wearer. Dont take much to get pissed off and can kick peoples ass physically and verbally. Dont need a group to fight someone. Enjoy walking around at night with friends and listening to metal all the time and sharing underground metal bands with friends. Wear band shirts not prepy clothing including American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister and most Metalheads hate people that wear that shit some wear that though but there not true metalheads because preps are pussys and metalheads are not. Sometimes had long hair intended for head banging. Hate the government in a none hippie way. (influenced by Arch Enemy or rage against the machine) But the most important thing is to be a complete badass.
Jon: Im sick of a the preps getting the chicks
Dilon: Then Put this Lamb of God T-shirt on and lets go to the mall around 10:00 pm
Jon: why?
Dilon: Chicks fuck metalheads
