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.

A sub-genre of metal music characterised by whimsical performances/gimmicks/lyrics designed to enhance a band's "shock value" and "approachability". Examples include babymetal, okilly dokilly, Belushi speedball and psychostik

music genre that can infuse even the most sad romantic song with anger, making you feel the bitterness behind the soft flowing words, previously too subtle, before this translation, teaching us not to make the mistake of idealising toxic, co-dependant situations, and glorifying drama as passion - "It must have been love", a good example, and what many like to focus on when looking at their relationships.
for the keen introspecter, there will be truth to the words "heavy metal broke my heart".

An actually amazing type of music that takes an immense amount of skill to pull off. Instruments are hard to learn, and so is singing and screaming. Just imagine having to scream like that at a show, for hours. Maybe you could do it for a second, but not for hours, because it takes TALENT. It also most of the time does not use autotune, like most shitty rappers today. Rap is pretty good, but not the shit today.
Did you know that being a Heavy Metal singer and/or musician actually takes talent and is really hard? Bet you didn't because you think that using autotune and mumbling into a microphone takes talent, and think that all metal is screaming and that people that listen to it are just edgy kids. Just because YOU are part of the majority of people that enjoy shitty autotune mumbling, doesn't mean metal is bad.
