The absolute purest form of Heavy Metal music.
For relatively new bands who have taken inspiration from The Metal Gods.
The Proper Metal sound is personified by screaming guitars with face melting solos, thunderous drums and pounding basslines.
Proper Metal singing styles can vary, but they usually share a powerful and energetic quality. This could be anything from Ozzy Osbourne's signature growl to Rob Halford's soaring high notes. 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.
To be classified as Proper Metal the dress code is critical and comprises the following:
Leather (black or white)
Other proper metal band T shirts
Studs & bullet belts
Bare chests are encouraged
Long hair (when possible)
A single member sporting a strong moustache is not uncommon.
Denim (if worn) must be torn or aged
*Bright blue spandex is also perfectly acceptable.
*dryrobes and anything frilly pink in colour is absolutely not acceptable.
Proper Metal equipment is mainly electric:
Flying V guitars or similar
Firebird basses or similar
Way too many amps
Absolutely MASSIVE drum kit
* A mic stand that can be thrown about easily
* under no circumstances should the mic stand be so big that you can either mount it or hide behind it. That is NOT proper Metal!

That is not proper metal and I don’t like it.
The opposite to proper metal is the sophisticated “clever Metal” and the two should not be confused.

Get the Proper Metal mug.You know you are listening to heavy metal when it’s got a 3 minute intro then lyrics about death or war or it’s just so distorted you can’t hear the lyrics I recommend if you plan to get into metal you should start with less heavy bands like cannibal corpse or sodom if you can’t listen to a cannibal corpse song all the way through you are a pussy

Get the Metal cock mug.One of the weaker Metal Gear Solid main titles, along with Metal Gear Solid 5. The plot is an incomprehensible and nonsensical mess and it has some pretty bland level design for most of the game. The best parts of an otherwise forgettable entry were the Tanker and Arsenal Gear segments that comprise 30% of the game. Those were peak Metal Gear Solid experiences. Otherwise, it’s just a bland rehash of Metal Gear Solid.

Get the Metal Gear Solid 2 mug.I will smack you with a metal pole is a word that tells an annoying goofy ahh goober to shut the hell up and leave the premises.
even though it’s an empty threat, the roasting capabilities of this godly sentence can obliterate the victims social life, including when he is given a restraining order in 20 years.

The definition of “I will hit you with a metal pole” is rather simple, as it is a mentally deadly roast that can obliterate the “goofy goobers” feelings.
Here is an example of a conversation using the word, with a character called “Normal Person” who doesn’t use Eloel as lol:
Normal Person: *walks calmly*
annoying goober: HEY ANIME IS BETTER!
Normal Person: shut the hell up
annoying goober: NOT UNTIL YOU PROVE ANIME ISN’T BETTER!
Normal Person: I will smack you with a metal pole
annoying goober *dies of destruction of social life.
