The best form of music for fighting, getting things done, and generally feeling high and aggressive. There is a really weak form of metal out now called Nu-Metal, in which the guitarists are always proud of the fact they can't play, and the lyrics are utterly unintelligible. It doesnt matter though as long as you have an eyebrow piercing, a goatee beard and live with your mom. That's not proper metal, it's just gay and you know it.
Proper metal is Black Sabbath, Pantera, Ozzy and anything else which doesn't take itself too seriously. It helps if the guitarist can play proper guitar solos too, but really being able to drink English quantities of beer and roll joints is the acceptable minimum for a metal guitarist. Being too good means you spent too much time practising as a kid and not enough time puking and laughing about it with the bad influence kids at school.

Dimebag Darrell (note daft name) had a stupid shaped guitar, sweated a lot, like to get stoned and had a pink beard. He could also play properly. Hence he is a great example of a "proper metal" guitarist.

A form of music, once dominating, but suffering greatly from lack of experimentation, a depraved mindset of being completely superior, and following a uniform pattern of "what is metal".
I used to enjoy metal; Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, Superjoint Ritual, Dimmu Borgir, Shadows Fall. But I opened my eyes to see that a metalhead has no identity nor self confidence. I'd bet good weed money a TRUE punk/hardcore kid could beat the ever loving shit out of a 'metal kid'.

A cool derivative word, mostly used by metalheads to describe a wide range of moments the involves metal or a cool vibe.

A genre of copycats.Has many subgenres which are created when one band comes up with some new goth fetish such as pierced cock metal or upsidedown cross rammed up your own butthole metal.Which then is immediately copied by all of the mindless idiots and morons which is how all new subgenres of metal are born.Sometimes they like to add the word "core" to the end in an attempt to make the new subgenre seem more edgy or hard."TheI got 666 tattooed on my cock subgenre of metal is really misunderstood man." Or "oh wow check out my mom fucked a goat and I took a shit on her chest metal,it's really the best existing example of animal porn core.

A sad,pathetic excuse for a music genre which I,as a classic rock fan,have absolutely zero respect for.

A genre of popular music characterized by a heavy, aggressive sound, the usage of guitar distortion and drums, and great power (often manifested in screamed lyrics and chaotic sounding guitar). Unfortunately, like other genres of popular music, it tends to emphasize style over substance. Additionally, it has a slew of subgenres that seem to fragment at the slightest provocation. While it has power, most metal musicians simply don't have the skill to harness that power effectively.
