A metal head is someone who likes metal. No questions. No classifications on what you have to do to be a metal head. People specify what bands are not metal, that's just wrong. It doesn't have to be Lamb Of God, or Pantera. It could Slipknot, Slipknot is metal. It's a mixture. Anything that is metal IS metal. Almost all of my friends listen to rap and totally misinterpret it, except for two. Not all metal heads like fights. I HATE fights. You don't have to freaking like heavy metal to be a metal head. I listen to melodic metalcore, like Trivium, KSE, and sometimes Slipknot ( Not really melodic but I listen to it)
Metal Head #1: " Dude what the fuck are you doing listening to Slipknot thats not metal!"
Me: " Dude fuck off I like it and it's metal. Doesn't have to be Heavy metal or death metal or what ever. So fuck off"
Me: " Dude fuck off I like it and it's metal. Doesn't have to be Heavy metal or death metal or what ever. So fuck off"

One that listens to all the Metal genre. Metal heads can and could be classified as a typical down to earth person, when turned upon are dangerous and can be harmful as the music they listen to can be the drive for adrenaline and fury when needed. Clothing can range from old to new styles or a combination of the 2. Old can be seen as blue jeans and leather jackets while as the new holding on to the band T-shits or jackets to dark pants as in between light blue pants with dark colored T-shirts. Always doing there own thing most verbal conflict does not effect can usaully hold temper in and burts it all out in an effective act of compulsion and agression, often times scares the the opposer and shows of the "No Fear" attitude. Knows when and what they are Capable when they knwo they can lose a fight they will jump in anyway to show how they will not back down. Can take a beating even if they are weak. Small i numbers but can take on multiple waves of people on there own with no regards for the stakes at risk. Very protective of there friends and can and will die for them when threatened. Despises most cultures "Emo, Pop, some Metal heads dislike hardcore(for reasons of the style of mosh is 'fighting invisible ninjas' or common rivalry between the genres as hardcore kids out number the metal heads)". Open to all ideas and is very conservative on most things. Truely unique people for they can differ from most personalities ranging from hyper and agressive to calm and faint. not many in skools or even out since the musichas died since the ninities, listens to most underground music of the genre and is always looking for new bands to get there hands on and headbang to (will even show there affection for thetre music even if not listening to it and will use lil head wips to as the song is stuck in there head)
slipknot, korn, dream theater, skidrow, slayer, anthrax, Dimmu borgir, Cradle of Filth, Soulfly, Soilwork, In flames etc. (various from artist to artist as metal heads have different opinions)

Some of these descriptions area little bland so I'm going to try and tie up the loose ends. Metal Head attire isn't really necessary, though due to the music they listen to this generally defines their fashion. A band t-shirt supporting a band of either thrash, death, heavy or shred metal is usually seen, from the older forty plus year old metal heads, right down to the younger generation. Pants aren't that important and generally they adopt a set of baggy jeans, camo cargos or anything they can find such as old black slacks. Though Metal Heads are very defensive of their musical tastes they also respect certain alternate rockers, mainly for their instrumental expertise (Vai, Satriani, Herman Li, Yngwie Malmsteen). Hair is usually shaven or grown long, often left greasy. Facial hair may include a beard or clean shaven - though as before, nothing is definate. Shoes are generally a set of black pumps (generally not converse) or dark shades of skate shoes. Coats are often seen, either a dark green or camo with some adopting a leather jacket style attire with metal parts. They often have a tight knit group of friends, around 3 to 5 in number who they are most probably part of a band with and take part in recreational activities such as going to gigs and sitting around talking in town. Though calm they can be extremely strong when antagonised and Neds should never mistake a Metal Head for an emo, whom they despise for bringing down an entire sub-culture of metal into an abyss of pop. They generally have a good sense of humour and once befriended become a strong accomplice. Most real metal heads hate Nu-metal for dipping its feet into the pop-culture and will offend any music related to it or simply shun it away. (System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, K0rn, NOFX, Green Day...)
Heavy metal bands - Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath etc
Thrash metal bands - Old School Metallica, Megadeth, Mastodon etc
Death/Heavy metal bands - Slayer, Pantera, Damageplan. Meshuggah, Iced Earth, Children of Bodom, Cannibal Corpse.
Alternate/Progressive metal/neo-classical - Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Rhapsody, Dragonforce, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dream Theatre.
These are a collection of the usual music influences Metal Head's have.

although i agree w/nearly everything most other posts say about metal heads, i will add my own reminiscing, er definition...my fave metal heads in HS were some of the funniest f*cking guys i knew-usu sat away from the popular kids, jocks etc. in the lunchroom & were down-to-earth/no bs. One of my best memories was one particular guy i knew, eddie, who would loudly squawk like a chicken down the hallway, & was once known to trade shit like knives for a bag of weed. most metal heads would give you sh*t for listening to anything they'd consider gay, and loved to bust your balls, esp. the guys, such as tease you in class or generally shake things up...and it’s true, most metal-heads are really knowledgeable about their music & lyrics & should def. not be f'd with; they are some of the realest people in h.s. as far as i was concerned & it pissed me off when ppl would think they weren't as bright or whatever..stupid stereotypes. the same guy I mentioned earlier would cut class & STILL do better than most of the other straight-edge kids..metal helped us cope in h.s. b/c it's one of the hardest times in life & a lot of those kids coming up had it harder than their preppier kids who lived in a f*ckin’ suburban bubble....i listened to G N' R all of 10th grade & lost my virginity to 'hell's bells' so i say yeah, metal ain't dead yet...cheers to metal-heads everywhere; the clothes maybe ain’t the same, but you know who you are!
Dudes: Back in the 90's guys wore Slayer or Metallica t's, trenches, black denim or maybe a black biker jacket. Typically metal heads I knew had long hair, sometimes stringy & occasionally of the beloved mullet varietal. Others often sported an earring & some skull & crossbone jewelry, plus black Vans hightops or combat boots. Throw on a flannel & a concert t and you’ve got the look.
Chicks: the girls usually wore lots of black eyeliner, acid-washed jeans, feathered hair & were frequently busted smoking in the girls room while teasing their giant hair with a can of aqua net...good times!

Us "Metal Heads" received our name by our music, lifestyles, and fashion trends. Fashion trends can range depending on what type of Metal Head you are. Tight jeans, leather jackets, and curly hair were inspired by Thrash Bands in the 80's such as Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth. Death Metal fashion trends are alike in some ways. Tight jeans and sometimes leather jackets are worn, though hair styles usually differ. Hair styles for the Death Metal fan incude long greasy dark hair, sometimes straightened. (ex. Glen Benton, George Fisher) This look was inspired by bands like Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, and Cannibal Corpse. Black Metal is far from the dressing style of Death and Thrash Metal. Black Metal (sometimes known as Viking Metal) clothing includes tight leather armor with spikes. Hair is usually dyed black and straightened. Dedicated fans or bands cover their faces with "Corpse Paint." This style is influenced by Mayhem, Bathory, and Emporer.The last type is not even considered to Metal to hardcore fans. This genre is called "Nu Metal". The clothing trends used by the Nu Metal fan are Emo. These people are known as posers.
The Metal Head has an interesting personality as well. They are quiet and friendly, but when angered, are the most dangerous people. Their anger, frustration, unreleased rage, and adrenaline rush create a deadly combination of power and is a force not to be reckoned with. Some of them are sometimes influenced by their favorite bands' lyrical content in fights. (ex. Cannibal Corpse, Obituary) This is what really makes them dangerous.
This is a dedication to all you other Metal Heads out there. Keep supporting Death, Black and Thrash.

A metal head is typically a person who listens to metal. None of that pussy ass nu-metal i.e PTV, BVB, BOTDF, SWS, WCAR, etc.
The term revolves around people who mainly listen to thrash metal, black metal, doom metal, Viking/folk metal, death metal, melodic death metal, glam metal, sludge metal, stoner metal, heavy metal, classic metal, and other genres relating to those.
There are many different clothing styles that metal heads typically have, but generally you can base them all around two main ones. (Not 100% accurate, but you get the idea.)
1.) Band t-shirts, dark jeans, leather jackets, spikes, wristbands.
2.) Khakis/jeans, band t-shirts occasionally, casual apparel that their peers wear.
Now, there are two types of metal-heads.
1.) The elitist jerks that'll ridicule you if you don't listen to death metal or anything extremely hardcore. They're generally really close-minded and judgmental and are an asshole to almost everyone.
2.) The kind of guy that doesn't flaunt it around and realizes that music is music and that people enjoy different types of music and are aight with that.

George: Man, that guy is such a faggot. Listening to only doom metal? What a fucking casual.
Jimmy: Dude, stop being such an asshole. Let people enjoy what they like. A Metal Head isn't supposed to be a huge douchebag.
