Get the Metal Head mug.A metalhead is kind of self explanatory, it's a person who listens to a lot of metal. Metal heads can be classified for long hair, black clothing and band tees BUT, not all metal heads look like this. Metalheads tend to dress however they want. A lot people call them selves metal heads, because the only bands they listen to is Slipknot and Disturbed. This is personally an insult to true metal heads, because true metal isn't recognized, such as Ozzy Osbourne, or Amon Amarth.
Average teenage kid: Hey guys, I listen to Slipknot now... I'm a hardcore metal head.
Hardcore metalhead: Umm... why don't you listen to some Megadeth or Behemoth?
Average teenage kid: I don't like all that growling and loud guitars.
Hardcore metalhead: *Punch*

Get the metalhead mug.Corporate Metalhead (CMH) is a honorary designation awarded by a Metalhead to an exceptional well-mannered Corporate or public figure who shares Metalhead values and fights the unwarranted negative stereotypes commonly associated with Metalhead culture. Beneath the professional and conservative appearance is a true Metalhead personality, faithfully following the progression of today's Metal and loyal to those of yesterday.
Corporate Metalheads are a sub-culture of Metalheads typically possessing a mix of liberal and conservative tendencies. CMH's are rarely found on the frontlines of Metalhead culture. They are living the American Dream, financially responsible, family-oriented and enjoy a variety of music - but their true passion is that of Metal.
CMH's are aware that Metalheads fall victim to a culturally ignorant society and to maintain their good impression will admit their passion for Metal when an inquiry is made, or following a conservative first impression. CMH’s are by no means embarrassed by their Metalhead counterparts; it is in fact a strategy employed to fight stereotypes. Another reason why a CMH will disclose their love for Metal is if they are provoked. See Example 1
A CMH is often part of a Metalhead circle - you can easily spot one at a party by looking for a neat, almost fussy looking individual, nodding their head to All That Remains and singing the words only a true Metalhead would know!

Example 1
As any Metalhead knows and has experienced, there is always that ONE person that just has to go there and say something stupid like, "I think my son worships the Devil. He's obsessed with this awful kind of evil music! How could anyone like a song where all they do is scream and you can't understand a word they're saying!"
A true Corporate Metalhead will spring to action and will explain in the most professional manner that Metal is commonly misunderstood, and if one would take the time to study the music (as most Metalheads take pride in doing) - you will find the lyrics aren't that dark, often have implied meaning and the music is quite complex! To a CMH, it just sounds like the kid has an affinity for Metal and may recommend the parent consider getting the kid some guitar / drum / vocal lessons so both parties benefit.
If you're a professional like me, who just loves the opportunity to talk about Metal try putting this on your personal business card:
Jonathan Smith, CMH
That will get them asking!

Get the Corporate Metalhead mug.People with a theoretical knowledge of Metal they really like to show to everyone that exceeds knowing simple facts, for example that screamo isn"t a genre, but only how scene people call genres like Hardcore, Metalcore, Melodic Death Metal,...., by far, but no idea what being a metalhead means. Some of them haven"t been to a concert in their entire life. They normally have nothing better to do than sitting in front of their computers all day long, watching youtube videos and, by commenting, defending their selection of favourite bands as "the only real Metal" against others and attacking their selections as "not Metal at all", or searching for probably not useful, but scientifically correct genre names. They normally attack people with different opinions personally
(comments under a Messhuggah video)
real metalhead: awesome song! Especially live!!!!!
youtube metalhead 1: nice Progressive Metal
youtube metalhead 2: you retard, are you deaf or what? That"s nowhere near Progressive Metal, it"s Experimental Death Metal!
