If you're under the age of 18, and you think the hip new band you listen to is Metal, chances are, it isn't.
Fat chick: " Leik, OMG, the lead singer of this band soooo cute, and their Tshirt is black, so it will hide my rolls of fat, and I can wear lots of dark makeup and declare myself goth, which, again, will distract from the fat."
Rest of the world: "lol not metal"

Tenacious D- "You can't kill the metal. The metal will live on. Punk rock tried to kill the metal, but they failed, as they were SMASHED to the ground!"

Something you see that is shiny and metallic, but is WAAAAAY cooler than 'metallic'.
You can only pull this word off if you are cool and ghetto.

A misunderstood type of music that can not easily be appreciated if you haven't heard much of it. It may take a long time for you to warm up to it, but as soon as you do, there's no turning back. Contrary to belief, metalheads are not stupid or angsty - that's just throwing around labels.

Pertaining to something that is deemed cool by listeners and followers of the metal genre. A replacement for the word "cool" by metal heads.

A type of music characterized by it's cacophonous wall of sound and accelerated tempo which is achieved through distorted electric guitars playing fast-paced riffs, with the driving drumbeat often utilizing hypersonic double bass rhythms and emphasizing the continuous pumping action, the bass guitar is often playing similar to the guitar, but more with the drums, so as to add to the overall heavyness and depth. It can manifest in many different forms and the spectrum of intensity is usually quite varied. From slow and heavy melodic grooves, to complex and precise blinding rhythms, odd time changes, and sheer brutality.. metal comes in many shapes and sizes. One common trait of metal is to have vocals dealing with dark subject matter, often sung with anger, aggression, and conviction in the form of screaming. Melodic smooth vocals are also accepted. Solos are an integral part of metal music, as the icing on the cake to complement the heavy intensity of the songs and add more depth and individuality. Real metal has a solo in every song, usually scales and arpeggios played with some changes often in 8th, 16th, or 32nd notes..if only a few quick licks. Metal is progressive and dynamic, and usually provokes feelings that are therapeutic to the listener. Metal is rock music that has evolved.
