Someone who listens to most metal. No, it doesnt matter what you wear or what kind of metal you listen to. You can still listen to Nu-metal and be a metalhead. The people that go around saying numetal sucks and that they r true metalheads are all just dumb assholes. You can listen to other types of music but to be considered a metalhead, you have to listen to any subgenre of metal mainly. Yes, Nu-metal bands r metal if they werent they they wouldnt be given the name Nu metal and yes bands like Slipknot and Korn and Avenged Sevenfold r metal I dont care what u think they r metal. My Chemical romance isnt metal im saying that because they have that as their genre on myspace. The people who r so called "true metalheads" that go around and say they suck r just people who make metalhead look like assholes with no lives. Most metalheads also have a taste in classic rock and/or hardcore bands. Most metalheads do hate emos but i think it shouldnt matter.
metalhead: dude, these bands r fucking awesome
so called true metalead: those bands suck they rnt true metal!!!!11!!!!!11one!!!!
metalhead: whatever u say, douche bag

Get the metalheadmug. a hardcore fan of heavy metal. we’re willing to defend our music till death we tend to be very political but dont always have to be.metalheads can be very deep thinkers or could be really stupid we aren’t always drunk or high all of the time.often associated with goths and emos THIS IS WRONG we’re not always depressed/hate life.we do believe that there is a darker side to life but we know evil lurks everywhere and try to uncover it we know life aint always going to be a fairy tale We’re very independent n believe in self freedom and you can do want you want.we dont really care about money because we know there is more to life than money and spending the rest of your life working your ass off for nothing.we’re very opposed to trends mainstream sellouts pop conformity close minded and sometimes society. There is no standard for dress but the basic is a denim vest with patches of our favorite bands and or a black leather jacket fav. band shirts underneath with usually denim tight jeans with either high top sneakers or boots and has long or short hair.you can add or take away what you want from style.what makes you a MH is your love for metal you have not the clothes. we tend to read through people to see what they are about alot. we are about realizing that there are problems in our life that typiclly have to do with politics and society and getting rid of them we’re very loyal to our favorite bands and we’ll never stop listening to those bands that’s why metal lives.

Get the metalheadmug. Metalheads are fans of the Heavy Metal genre of music. Most are usually defined by wearing denim, leather, band shirts and having long hair, though this is not compulsory to be a metalhead. Stereo-types have emerged of the metalhead and while some do hold truth for many, many metalheads, they might not be true for some. For instance, the pre-conception that all who listen to metal MUST be satanic, is a misconception. Though there do exist those who do follow satanic practices, most metalheads tend to be atheistic in their beliefs, though many metalheads can still be seen following Christianity or other religions.
Personalities vary, but the vast majority of metalheads are honestly great people, who are mostly easy to get on with. Some tend to be argumentative, defending their opinions with some vigor and if you get on their wrong sides, it is often they are quite confrontational. However, they are mostly nice people. They are also incredibly passionate about their music, with it becoming a large part of their lives, in both fashion and attitudes. This does come with a warning, in that a huge majority are very defensive if their music is insulted and will have no problem schooling you on just how badass heavy metal is. If curious about the music, just ask them. It is guaranteed that many of them are experts in their field.

Get the metalheadmug. Loves metal in an obsessive way. Hates most other types of music. Acts tough on the internet but is a pussy in real life. Social outcast who was bullied in school. Long, unwashed hair. Fat. Plays video games when not listening to metal, although sometimes listens to metal WHILE playing games. Ugly. Virgin. Doesn't know how to please a woman. Has no real friends. Shy in real life. Has no respect for anyone or anything. Drinks and smokes a lot. Atheist or Satanist. May be sensitive at heart but doesn't show it because he's afraid that it will damage his "metal reputation".
By the way that metalheads act on the internet, you can tell they're trying to make up for something they lack in real life.

Get the METALHEADmug. A headbanger of extreme proportions. A follower of heavy metal music from the times of early Black Sabbath to the eventual New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s, to the thrash, death, black, power and doom metal movements there after.
To the metalhead, only five things matter: metal albums, cigarettes, beer, concerts and gas to get to the metal albums, cigarettes, beer and concerts.
Metalheads are identified by long hair what they wear: leather jackets, jeans, shirts advertising awesome metal bands such as Dark Angel, and steeltoed boots to smash wimps that call Korn a metal band with. If the jacket and boots are not black, they are not Metal.

One who listens to the mighty Sodom, Destruction and other such ungodly bands and sneers at imbeciles that know nothing of Persecution Mania and incorrectly refer to Mercyful Fate and Venom as black metal bands. The one whom is being described would also beat said imbeciles into the ground and toss them In The Trash (Artillery reference and if you didn't get that you do not fit this definition).
