Fairgrounds Metal

Lesser known thrash, hardcore punk, funk metal, groove, heavy, or hybrid genre band. Not your average metal music! Very loud, festive, driving, chaotic, intense and wild similar to stadium metal. Fairgrounds Metal is a highly nostalgic yet nearly forgotten music from the fun nights of the big rides of the 80’s-early 00’s at your state fair. As day dream inducing as any good old tunes genre and as festive and fun as mariachi, rock, honky tonk, bluegrass, etc. fairgrounds metal makes one reminisce of one’s fun times as a child, teenager, fun outing with family, or a group of friends… just all around good times (or some bad) or memories of better times which is why these tunes deserve a slang term that describes their feel or overall energy
Fairgrounds Metal. Tunes or bands along the lines of Biohazard, Pro-Pain, Metallica, Anthrax, Mordred, Judas Priest Cro-Mags, Keel, Raven, Fastway, Pissing Razors, Fear Factory, Merauder, Mudvayne etc. it’s not the genre that is described as fairgrounds Metal but rather the feel or energy a certain song or band carries
