A metal head is someone who listens to metal. Any metal at all. Shut up with all this "only 80s thrash metal" bullshit, and all the "true and false metal" crap.
Both thrash and nu-metal can be good in their own ways. There's no such thing as a "false metal" band. If it's metal, it's metal. Period. Who cares what genre Slipknot is in? Who cares if Testament is from the 80s? They're both metal, so it's not wrong for a metalhead to like them. I personally like both of them, so just stop the stupid debate of which bands are true and which are not.
However, a metalhead may indeed despise such music as rap, pop, or pop punk, for either being mainstream, or full of shit. And most of it is. However, just because a band is mainstream does not specifically mean it sucks. So System of a Down appeared on MTV. Does that mean they're the worst thing to happen to music since 50 Cent? No! They're simply getting their music out to more people. If you really want to vent your anger out because a band is popular, go take it out on their stereotypical fans, for being such airheaded idiots and making the band look bad - not the band itself.
As for the dress code, there is no set one. Most metalheads, however, can be characterized by either shoulder-length or shaven hair, leather jackets, band t-shirts, and lots of studs and spikes in their accessories. There is also no set way to behave in order to be a metalhead. You don't have to do drugs, you don't have to drink, and you don't have to be the toughest S.O.B. in the world who can demolish 20 asses in a fight. You can be a very friendly sweet person who hates fighting and still be a metalhead.
Just be yourself, and listen to all the great metal you love. That, is what makes you a metalhead. Not taking drugs and ranting about true and false metal. That, is what you call an intentional conformist.

considerening now,because of all these different but very good subgenres of metal, i don't even know anymore!!!it is used to describe the dedicated and true metal fan.sadly we now judge some person just because they like slipknot.look im a fan of all metal genres and i just need to say it:we have turned against each other. in the very begining it was about the music & fandom & that was all.Now we are all in disarray,pitted against one and other.heavy,nu,traditional, or whatever other subgenres that came into the picture,deep down all thesegenres end with one word: METAL!
as long as you love the music, appreciate ALL the subgenres,and let the music flow through you,you are a metalhead.

Get the Metalhead mug.1.) Someone who works in Metaphysics. AKA Metaphysician. But that is a faulty term, as a Metaphysician would obviously work in metamedicine - whatever that is. The root of metaphysics is physics and those who work in physics are physicists, thus Metaphysicist.

Get the Metaphysicist mug.Most basically, a fan of metal music. Metalheads are stereotyped as loud, obnoxious, stupid, drunk, and non-achieving; also as defiant, free-thinking, tough, and fed up with the social status quo. There is an element of truth to all of these, particularly the last.
Metalheads tend to be clannish, or at least identify with each other due to familiarity with esoteric bits of information on bands that most people have no clue exist.
Ways to spot a metalhead: long hair, t-shirts with band slogans and logos, denim or leather clothing, proclivity for yelling "JUDAS FUCKING PRIEST!" or other such barbarities.

Bands considered to (lyrically) sum up the spirit of heavy metal: Judas Priest, W.A.S.P., Deströyer 666, Exodus.
