Get the cum metal mug.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.Groove metal (also known as post-thrash or power groove) is a derivative form of thrash metal that is played at a moderate pace and places a greater emphasis on 'groove' and syncopation. This style was popularized in the early 1990s by the bands Prong and Pantera.

Get the Groove Metal mug.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

Get the Fairgrounds Metal mug.A gene of music that started with bands like Korn and System of a Down. Then there were new bands that were still nu-metal but they are crap.
Good Bands: Korn, System of a Down, Disturbed. They are good because they have a cool and different sound about them.
Bad: Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Linkin Park They suck because they have emo slash annoying followers or they just suck. cough limpbizkit cough
