Proper Metal

“Proper Metal” is:

A category of Heavy Metal music for bands who have taken inspiration from The Metal Gods such as Judas Priest, Saxon, Iron Maiden, and Accept.

The Proper Metal sound is personified by screaming guitars with face melting solos, thunderous drums and pounding basslines.

Proper metal lyrics often deal with dark or serious subjects, like war, rebellion, and the occult. They can also be fantastical or explore mythology and history.

The Proper Metal look comprises the following:

Leather (black or white)
Other proper metal band T shirts
Studs & bullet belts
Long hair (where possible)
Flying V guitars

Very large drum kits

Proper Metallers NEVER:
Mime on stage
Pretend to play
Use backing tracks
*Play stadiums

*unless invited by The Metal Gods

Metal Elitest

A metal head who judges others on their tastes in metal

Will always listen to Pantera if offered

Most likely will NOT listen to Metallica

Whitechapel and Gojira are usually their favorite band

Easily triggered when their music is judged

WARNING: Absolutely do NOT say "metal is just noise" or "I listen to real music" around these people, you will get a definite throat punch and might get eaten
Metal Elitest: You don't listen to Pantera!?!? What kind of metal head are you.

Also Metal Elitest: I don't listen to Metallica, they're too mainstream.
