“Proper Metal” is:
A category of Heavy Metal music for bands who have taken inspiration from The Metal Gods such as Judas Priest, Saxon, Iron Maiden, and Accept.
The Proper Metal sound is personified by screaming guitars with face melting solos, thunderous drums and pounding basslines.
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.
The Proper Metal look comprises the following:
Leather (black or white)
Other proper metal band T shirts
Studs & bullet belts
Long hair (where possible)
Flying V guitars
Very large drum kits
Proper Metallers NEVER:
Mime on stage
Pretend to play
Use backing tracks
*Play stadiums
*unless invited by The Metal Gods

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.

An old, extensive series of social norms and expectations that indicate what types of behaviors and social practices are and are not acceptable in various social situations. A majority of the rules employed in the modern properness system come from medieval times and were first created in Europe. There are different rules for males and females, regarding how they are to treat each other and behave in each other’s presences; what gender an individual identifies as determines which gender type of rules they are expected to follow. Many of the rules are out of date with times and tend to be quite biased against the poor, women, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities and other species.
The properness etiquette system is in urgent need of reform in order to make it more up to date with the times, more effective, and less biased against various populations.

It’s like trying to find Grindr on a flip phone - so last century and totally missing the fabulous memo.

something that nobody ever uses Proper Grammar is when you don’t use slang in sentences, or incorrect spelling.
if your writing something you shouldn’t say:
Hewoooo thx for reading hope youa enjoyed!
Instead: Hello, thanks for reading this hope you enjoyed!
that’s proper grammar.
