Okay, as a true metalhead I have to tell you..
METAL does NOT = 'GOTH'
Gothic music is Gothic metal & Black metal. Cradle of Filth is Black metal. They are 'goth'.
A metal head cannot be classified. Metal defeats all racial and economic boundaries in almost everywhere in the world.
Example.. I used to sit at a table in highschool with the 'rich jocks' at the time and we'd listen to Pantera together.
Were they Goth? No.. did'nt they have piercings or wear baggy ass pants you ask? No. Piercings and baggy pants dont qualify you for 'Goth' either, you have to LIVE 'Goth'.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, you don't HAVE to look or dress any way to like metal, or be a metal head. People that dress a certain way, do, because they want to.
Metal is a movement and thus is very dynamic.
All these stereotypes hurt the Metal scene by trying to single us out and make us the minority. People however are going to have to come to terms with the fact that everybody has a will of their own. The people doing the labeling are the ones that perpetuate the stereotypes. Why should people that know nothing of our culture be allowed to generalize us so? You may be sick of us, but we've BEEN sick of you, society and the bullshit games it plays. If you think we look pissed all the time, you just may be on to something there..

Deathmetal = Cannibal Corpse, Old Fear Factory, Nile, Deicide.
Metal = Fullblown Chaos, A Perfect Murder, Chimaira, Old Sepultura.
Black Metal/Goth Metal = Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Hammerfall.
Fallout Boy Kid: Dude you metal heads listen to your shitty noise way too loud!
Metal Head: So what, thats how we do it! Atleast I'm not blasting Fallout Fags. Why don't you go put on some womens clothing and cry about how your middleclass suburban life is so terrible.

A metal head is just a happy goth, unlike goth we have more fun we go out we dont wear shit loads of make up and think about death all of the time. But aswell as not being like Goths in a way we are becasue i personally am against the corporation, and for once im just not one of the people who say that for the hell of it because in fact i studie law and politics at collage, and for i fact know how badly this whole country is being run. Unlike those fuck off little 12 wannabe blond hair 'goths' who for some reason think its cool to be uncool. then after their friends start spending £120 on a nike jacket they decide they dont was to be uncool anymore.

In simple terms, one who listens to metal music. Often mean if your musical tastes differ from theirs.
Metal Head: Anything that's not metal sucks. May I see what bands you have in you ipod?
Me: Sure.
Metal Head: Wow, all of this sucks. Where's the Cannibal Corpse?
Me: I actually enjoy many styles of music. You don't enjoy any jazz? I am a big fan of Chick Corea.
Metal Head: Chick Corea is gay because he's not metal. He probably couldn't sweep pick or play natural minor or chromatic scales.
Me: Chick Corea plays piano, so he obviously could not sweep pick; in piano terms, it's an arpeggio. Also, He does use minor scales and chromatic runs but not blindly like your favorite artists.
Metal Head: Still not metal.
Me: Sure.

Metal Heads are guys or girls who wear ripped jeans blue or black,sometimes denim vests,cowboy boots,have mainly long hair{sometimes moptops}and have some kind of band appear like hats,shirts,or hoddys.Theres not many of them but there definietly the coolest group of people around{exept for new metal heads}.They keep to them selfs most of the time but can cause a seen sometimes and say stupid stuff.Also there not the brightest group of people.
Good Metal:Iron Maiden,Black Sabbath,Metallica,Slayer,Mega Death,tool,and Life of agony{1993-1997}.Its what real metal heads listen to.

Very closed minded assholes with a penchant for all that is goth , lame and goth and gay and shitty and dark and evil and pussified.Anything that is not all goth and faggy sounding and/or looking the metal head will attack with intense hatred.Metal heads are goth fags who hate rock.The evidence for this is in how militantly they support all things goth and shitty sounding/looking while badmouthing the shit out of anything that isn't all dark and shitty and goth.
Metal Heads are fucked up little snot=nosed mama's boys/rich punks who have no ear for music and have no musical taste.They go by 'goth' alone when deciding on what constitutes 'metal' music.Whether or not the music is any good or not never enters into it.It's all about how goth it is and to me that means SHIT MUSIC but the metal head will swear up and down by this GOTH NOISE/SHIT MUSIC and defend it adamantly by stating how awesome the guitar solo is.I hope you now understand how metal heads are really militant GOTH FAGS who hate ROCK!!!!
