Metal gear

Metal Gear (Japanese: メタルギア, Hepburn: Metaru Gia) are the mecha in the Metal Gear series.12 In the series, a Metal Gear is a bipedal nuclear weapons-equipped tank. The Metal Gears are typically autonomous nuclear launch platforms which the player must destroy to save the world and complete the game. Often, confronting the latest Metal Gear model is one of the final challenges of each game, These things have been introduced in Metal Gear Solid, these things are pretty self explanatory.

To put it simply its just a Big Mech Armed with Guns and Nuclear powered Rockets, Even nukes in some cases.

They are commonly shown with a Huge High Frequency blade to battle other Metal gears.

What? they have a Metal gear Here??

Teen-metal

Metal music that is not true metal but instead music for teens. Bands like deftones for an example are teen-metal as opposed to true metal like Slayer.

"Well I listened to the song friend, at first I like instrumental but then the lyrics come on and I am like bro. Wtf is with this teen-metal, you need to grow over your teen-metal phrase friend. Listen to real metal music like Metallica or Winger and not those poser bands."

heavy metal

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".

researcher: what heavy metal would you recommend?
