When I was 18 my older sister always told me that I would grow up and listen to only country music (at the time I was in to Judas Priest, AC/DC, Ozzy, etc.). Well, here I am at over 50 years old and listening to mostly thrash bands and have recently started an interest in Jinjer. This is one hell of a long phase.
@Anthony Farrish well now i can't sing along with year zero. And that's song is just cool. And you dont have to be satanist to sing along with that song.
“I listen to a little bit of everything” Oh nice, you like any metal? “No, I don’t like screamo” __________________________ I don’t like these types of people who think all metal is screamo
equimanthorn6 I think it’s safe to say that all of us metalheads and even people who listen to a couple of metal bands are subject to the classics such as “how can you understand that” “do you worship the devil or something?” Or “that’s satanist music” I’d rather listen to let’s say Iron Maiden vs some rap artist who writes songs and albums about sex,drugs, abusing women and crap. Not to say all of them do that of course but, some people who have a problem with my metal listen to artists that fit that description. You like what you like, let me be for my music tastes and I’ll continue to let you be.
Flay The Skin I actually had a good 1 minute convo with a kid in either my homeroom or first period [they're back to back in the same room] He asked me why I would listen to that stuff. I told him basically half it is just the mood/musical aspect of it. It's easier to just sit back and listen to the guitars and drums then pay attention to the lyrics. I might know the lyrics but at the end of the day it's more the instruments than the vocals that determine if I like a song or not. I will point out I was listening to black metal soo the lyrics are pretty much impossible to understand without taking the time to listen to vocalist and the song over an over again. Death metal I can usually understand it but like I usually don't pay attention to the lyrics if I'm just working on something else.
I hate when people think because I'm black and a girl I can't listen to metal. I have had people literally come up to me saying black people cannot listen to metal because of the color of my skin by both metal heads and non metal heads and been called racial slurs because of it too. I'll listen to what I want thank you 😒
@@5ar_ Yah, they call us narrow minded as we "don't allow ourselves to check more diverse genres then 'your metal' ". Yah, they don't see the hypocrisy.
One annoyance for me is when someone who knows I like Metal catches me Listening to something other than Metal and then says "This doesn't seem like your type of Music,"
I used to hang out with one emo girl in junior high - she recognized she wasn't listening to metal. She was cool. I remember one time our teacher said something about dressing in light colors during summer and we looked at each other and just tried not to laugh
@@emiliapawny4746 nice! I new these two emo girls in highschool they where alright, I once showed them the extreme stuff I listen to, and they said it scares them, and I just laughed!
@@emiliapawny4746 Exactly, I can name 3 "satanic bands", but they have never heard more then 15 seconds of metal in their life. It's funny when I say all rap is about sex and drugs, and they try to defend it 😅 that doesn't get old ( I do listen to some rap on occasion, aside from the usual Metal-core through BM ).
When you have headphones on and your listening to some Maiden and someone has the gull to tap your shoulder and ask you something, right in the middle of the solo. Ugh, i hate that!
When people say "I listen to all kinds of music" and when Metal comes up, they talk shit on it. Another is that they say that Metal has no melody. They clearly haven't hard of MELODIC Death Metal
- “you like metal? but you’re a girl!” - “well, you’re so pretty and you do ballet and you do well in school, so like how do you listen to [insert generic band name that anyone can listen to]?” (Very self specific but still very annoying)
"UGH, DEPRESSING" Got that a lot from my family. So whilst I was being depressing listening to Korpiklaani songs about partying, my family were being not-depressing by listening to R&B songs about relationship breakups and domestic violence.
When someone tells me metal is just noise and talentless. I always tell them that it takes a lot more talent to do what they do than a lot of the main stream pop singers.
Shane Everett ikr! I totally forgot that making beats and music on a fucking computer, which anybody and their moms can do, takes more talent than picking up instruments and making music that way.
monokhem that’s very true but literally anybody can sit down in front of a computer and make some rhythmic beats that are so called “fire”, but not everybody can sit down and instantly play riffs, solos, blast beats, etc. Of course some riffs and solos are easier than others but they all take practice to do and perform.
Trippinator Machine Not to mention being able to scream through 9 songs on stage. I’ve been listening to metal for years and still can’t scream like a lot of those other vocalists can. It kills my throat. It takes lots of practice.
@Tsumuro growing up, hearing that type of comment was very common. People would say it's just noise and that they didn't even know what they were playing.
1 "Why do you have long hair?" 2 "Why do you buy so many t-shirts, you don't have enough of it?" 3 "Why you were only black?" 4 "Why you are wereing boots during the summer"? 5 "I don't understand, why do you like that kind of music?"
Also, I've never had people touch my shirt but people constantly touch my vest and on purposely stab their hands on the spikes and then complain that the spikes stabbed them.
I once had a friend who wore spiked shoes to school, it seemed like everyone went out of their way just to step on them. She didn't wear them to school ever again
@Bunker Sieben 😂 i have a friend that calls herself a "metalhead" and once i asked her do you hear to exodus and she's like "tha fuck is that?"her favourite song of slipknot is duality DUALITY I mean dont get me wrong its a beautiful song but thats not a "metal head song" .I put her to listen to disaster piece and SHE SAID "ITS JUST NOIZZ" actually we dont have a good friendship anymore😔 She stabbed my back...but FUCK HER am i right?? The only thing I NEED IS METAL🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤
@@yeldarb2022 yea, I could understand not wearing Behemoth to church for reasons of respecting the church I get that, but for everyday life is just child's play.
I've never heard the Cookie Monster joke, but once a friend of mine asked me if I needed a lighter when we were passing by a church, which was pretty funny. The satanism thing happened to me once - a neo-nazi guy from my (fortunately) former class came to me and asked if I was a satanist, I looked him straight in the eyes and in a totally calm voice said yes. He didn't talk to me after that (I knew he was trying to bully me, so I acted like I was unbothered - which I really wasn't). No one ever commented on my t-shirts or tried grabbing them never happened, but once when I was waiting for a bus in my Venom t-shirt with there was also a nun on the bus stop - she remained quiet, but her expression was gold. As for the personality thing - more people would probably start with me being an atheist (I had to explain to 5 of my HIGH SCHOOL classmates how atheism wirks, because I was the only atheist they've ever met), but they know I draw, write, apparently have a good sense of humor, like Marvel, reading, I'm interested in tattoos (I'm 16, so currently have no tats, but I want to get some when I'm older - like when I'm not impulsive, hormonal kid) EDIT: Also, 2 funny, but annoying stories: -once I was told that I should listen to a wider variety of music, because I don't listen to the radio and metal all sounds the same (totally ignoring that I said I also like punk, hard rock, classic rock, blues, grunge and some other generes, beside metal, which is insanely diverse genre, but apparently let's say Black Sabbath, Darkthrone and Epica sound exactly the same) -my mum's friend came with her daughter and she saw my cd collection (around 10 albums back then) and wanted me to put something on. I said she may not like it since it's metal. She said she likes metal. I put on Ride the lightning. She said it's awful. I said she said she liked metal. She said "yes, but only Metallica" And for those, who actually read this comment, here, have a few band recomendations: -Empty Playground -Stworz -Thy Worshipper -Hunter
This isn't really metal related, but Everytime I wear my army of darkness shirt to school people always give it looks. Probably staring at the chainsaw arm or the tits on it if I had to guess.🤷
I cringe when someone says “oh this is sreamo” as I’m playing something like Deicide or Lamb of God. I also hate it when someone wants to talk trash about one band I like and try to convince me to like their bands they like which I end up not enjoying at all.
And how are fucking average metal heads different than that? When everyone talks shit about todays pop artists its okay, but when people talk shit about your precious metal bands its wrong? And when people try to convince you to like their music its bad, but when metalheads try to convince someone that their music is better than todays pop music its okay?
@@GheeJuice you make a big assumption here. You can't tell wether (s)he is that kinda guy ( or girl). Many metalheads are, not all, of course, and you are right to point it out.
@@thrownswordpommel7393 Not talking about all the fans, since I am one myself as well. It just sounded really hypocritical since metalheads are famous for being the "vegans of music".
Lamb of God pretty much wore emo fashion in the mid 2000’s and their drummer plays a lot of beats similar to those found in music from bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance so I can forgive them on that.
@@andysixxlett2632 are you even listening to the same band here? im preeeeeeety sure those other bands dont even have a double kick pedal. and Lamb of God never wore emo clothes.
I've been a huge metalhead since I was about 7 years old and I'm 31 now. My mother is also a metalhead. In fact she was actually the person who first introduced it to me with Metallica and I've been addicted to them and metal music in general ever since. Mostly 80's metal. Hell, I can remember her and I watching Headbangers Ball together all the time. Good times.
I've been a metalhead (since the 70's) for years and wear a sport jacket, suit & tie. People don't realize you can still be metal on the inside and appear what some call normal looking but they get shocked once they know what you listen too. Who cares ? Wear what you want, listen to what you want and be yourself, your true friends will accept you exactly the way you are. \m/\m/
Two for me: "How can you understand the lyrics?" And this is how a typical conversation goes: Them: "I listen to everything." Me: "What about heavy metal?" Them: "No, not that." Me: *Internally Screams*
I get this all the time, I've been going to church since I was born, saved since I was 4 and made the conscience decision to accept Jesus. Now I'm part of our youth staff of our church. I get a lot of "All metal is satanic, you shouldn't listen to any of it, the 3rd whatever chords are evil and and it will make you stray away from God. Oh and it's all satanic." K... You literally watch horror movies, listen to rap songs where 35% the lyrics are 4 letter words, and play violent video games... If all metal is satanic how do you explain the last few verses of Psalm 150, the bands Grave Declaration, Demonicduth, Hope for the Dying, HB, Scandinavian Metal Praise, Golden Resurrection, Wolves at the gate, War of Ages, Sinbreed, etc etc.. Gets old after awhile tbh.

Whenever someone says metal is just screaming and growling I show them Within Temptation, Epica, Nightwish, Delain, all the good symphonic metal there is out there basically
When I had my hair long a lot of girls and even other guys always asked what I did to make my hair look so nice. And all the time I was like "umm... I just wash it and brush it everyday"
I know what you mean. I just washed it atleast every second day and used a comb once a day. The girls should think that maybe they dont need all those chemicals in their hair.
Should have told them that the key to having luxurious hair such as you have, is THE METAL! Infomercial for Metal: Are you sick and tired of hair that splits, breaks, is too greasy but not shiny?

Litterly today i was wearing a revocation shirt and my teacher walks over and tries to read it. i kid you not he was looking at my shirt without saying anything to me for like 1 minute. He then finally askes if it was a screemo band. I said "well no they are a technical death metal band but close enough" he than says if i want listen to some hard core shit i should check out "Norwegian screemo metal" i said i think you are talking about black metal. He then said no its called Norwegian screemo metal, bands like the misfits and slayer. Kill me
"All metal is satanic" "Screaming shouldn't be in music" "Christians can't like it, it's satanic" "I bet you can't understand any of the lyrics" No, yes it should when appropriate, I've been a Christian for 15 years and I go to church regularly, depending on the band I can understand 90 - 40% of the lyrics unless it's BM. Gets old real quick..
My mom told me that I should listen to other music because I have to be well-rounded. Another time, she told someone else “this is just his metal phase”. I told her that it wasn’t and she tried to correct herself, but I knew what she meant, so I just walked away. And then recently, she pointed out that a shirt I was wearing looked like ass cheeks. One of my friends said the same thing. She also gets scared when I mention mosh pits and circle pits. Edit: Also, I asked someone in my class if they could guess one of my favorite bands. I knew what was gonna come and I guessed right. She said “My Chemical Romance”. Another went “Queen”. They went back and forth with classic bands and popular bands while I just declined each time. At the time, I was wearing a shirt from one of my favorite bands. They don’t look at the obvious signs
I find it annoying bcz as a metalhead girl, some people expect me to listen to bring me the horizon for example. Thats annoying af.Cuz i do listen to real and brutal metal.
I was wearing my battle vest and walked down the street when an old woman I walked past made the sign of the cross and then made a claw like gesture towards me
Then you start screaming in pain, writhing in agony until you get to the ground. Scream, "Satan save me!" Then stand up and walk away like nothing happened.
Yes! I definitely find that annoying too! I was at a Slayer concert and a former friend of mine kept doing that at the end of each song. I told him that's not how you throw the horns and he said why does it matter? That and the tool said he should have bought the Testament shirt I was wearing because it looked cool. He didn't even know who Testament was!
Lots of people have asked me these questions: " Are you Emo, or Goth? " " I can't understand what they are saying! " " You will get over it soon. " " That isn't real Music, listen to Sam Smith" And I hate it when someone randomly, touches my hair......or my vest..... A guy actually pulled my vest for no reason! I didn't even know who he was!
@@SuperBoomshack here's a funny story I was wearing my Tomb Mold T-shirt one Wednesday and a friend of mine was wondering what it said and I told him then he asked me if there is screaming in their music and I told him not much
But Dying Fetus shirts can disturb people. You can wear them at festivals and concerts but don't wear them if there's a dress code. It's really inappropriate.
Thunder God , it hurts my entire being too. It could be worse but, I feel like the worst part about it is those people really like that music though. It’s as if they don’t know good things exist. It gives me the feels.
A "nazi" nowadays is just a native European who is somewhat proud of their heritage. It has nothing to do with Hitler, the Third Reich or the holocaust. Did Hitler do some things that was stupid? Yes. So just because Hitler did some questionable things does not mean we should not be allowed to use our symbols, be proud of our ways and support our traditional religion.
@@Templarofsteel88 It is because Viking symbols are Germanic symbols so the SS used them. Now anyone who uses them is a "nazi" and anyone European proud of their European traditions is a "nazi."
"I listen to a bit of everything." "Metal?" "Ew no it's just noise!" "Punk?" "What's punk?" "Classical?" "No that's boring." "Ska?" "Huh?" "Country?" "Does Taylor Swift count?" "Do you mean you listen to mainstream 'chart' music?" "Uh... I like that song by Kings of Leon." "I might actually hate you."
I've been and am a huge metal head played In choirs from entering school to leaving college and love all kinds of music. I'm a huge pop lover but not the radio its soooooo annoying.
@@danutdracula I agree there's great music in every genre (and sometimes defying every genre). I find it frustrating that people think the radio covers even a sliver of what's out there.
Man I introduce myself to my teachers as such: I am a metalhead, a guitar player, and I like BBQ. That'll be all. It's super funny tho bc occasionally you get a teacher who you can feel them judging you and you can hear their head trying to reconcile my respectful attitude and good grades to metalhead
This is going to be me soon. I started high school so I'm hiding my metalhead side from teachers but I'll stop doing that once they get a good image of me and actually get convinced I'm respectful and a good student (which has happened already). I'm sure some will be surprised cuz they're going to be thinking that all metalheads/alternative people/anything of this sort are like yknow agressive
You know what's annoying about being a metalhead? Elitism from fellow metal heads regarding their favorite bands. I know several metalheads have experienced something like that.
Well I get annoyed by non metalheads who think that I shouldn't be listening to Metal because I have autism it just gets on my nerves I live and breathe Metal I own tons of cassettes most of them are Thrash and Death Metal cassettes.
One of the biggest annoyances is the isolation we are put through. In highschool it's the worst. In a year I'll be in College. At least it will be better.
i’m a sophomore in high school and i can say the things that bug me are when people ask if I’m satanic when i’m wearing a band shirt and also when kids wear metallica or slayer and don’t know shit about them
I definitely agree I've had it happen to me people are so judgemental that is exactly why I pretty much stay to myself I only have five actually friends I hang out with.
I don't know how useful this is, but I would recommend a braid over a ponytail. I hate having mine up in a pony. I can never get comfortable and it feels like something is pulling my head. Braids/ plaits are significantly more comfortable as long as you don't tie your hair like a pony first. Normally I just let it loose but I recently started doing it when I walk for longs distances and I just wanted to share.
The most hilarious part about the discrimination against men with long hair is that throughout MOST OF history, men wore their hair long. The universal trend of short hair on men was actually established in the early 1800s/Victorian age. Ask any history buff(like myself) or look up old/ancient portraits and works of art featuring men from most old/ancient cultures and you will find that most men wore their hair shoulder length or longer.
literally while I was watching this video my dad came in my room and started to mention that my music was garbage lol and that this person in this vid is wearing an ugly t shirt. R u kidding me?
I find it annoying that people tell me that "you don't look like a metalhead" because I don't normally wear band t-shirts and dress in that type of apparel, but I listen to the music.
Smartguy561 I was the same way for a while! I’ve been listening to metal since high school. I’m 29 and just recently started wearing band shirts as welll as a battle vest.
@@ZJMusic1990 I'm glad someone understands where I'm coming from. I'm 43 and I've never dressed that way. I love metal music (I've been listening to it for roughly the last 30 years or so. I graduated in 1994) I'm just not interested in dressing that way, although my friends dressing that way doesn't bother me. The most important thing to being a metal head is that a person actually likes and listens to metal music. I may get some shirts of my favorite bands if I can find them at a reasonable price, but I probably won't wear them much so that I don't mess them up.
I get that at work and I'm like why just because I have short hair and glasses catch me in a revocation pit I'm definitely the type of person to listen to this.
Them: "It's a phase you'll grow out of it." Me: ""Well, it's been 35 years, so it's been a long phase for me" Them: "Isn't Metal music & fans devil worshipers ?" Me: "Yeah some are, but some are christians, muslims, buddists, atheists too" Them: "Why do you have long hair?" Me: "Why do you have short hair?" Them: "Can i read your shirt?" Me: "Can you read my mind?"
I really enjoyed this video because I relate to what your points/views were. Personally I really can't stand it either when people just walk up to me and touch me. Its rude and some people get really really mad. Because I wear things with spikes and i have colored hair, people find that as a pass to come up and touch me and that sends me into orbit. I don't like being touched by a stranger especially when they haven't asked if its okay. If you ask me "Hey can I touch your (hair, bracelet, etc.)" I'll most likely tell you yes because you had common sense to ASK before you started touching me. Once in Target a woman came up behind me and grabbed a handful of my hair and it scared me and I almost slapped her because it was very alarming and I didn't know her. Just use common sense. It takes you places.
1. Everything (I am easily agitated and quick to anger) 2. Expensive :( 3. ??????????????? 4. People think you're Emo/Alt/Goth 5. Hard to find other metalheads My personal five.
I've never really gotten the "do you worship satan" and whenever I've gotten that it's usually friends just being sarcastic for laughs to which I return their sarcasm by sticking my tongue out and making my fingers horns keeping the joke going
As an ex metaller, well ex uniformed one, we used to dress that way, deliberately, to stand out, ie garner attention. Why then pretend to be pissed off for succeeding in our mission?
I related to this video real hard. My main one is when my friends and family just can’t believe I enjoy metal because “I’m a girl and way too nice to like that sort of stuff”.
Okay, so one day I told my mom I was watching Iron Maiden Flight 666, and she said "ur listening to devil music" SAYS THE ONE WHO LISTENS TO METALLICA!
Here's my pet peeves: 1. "Do you worship the devil?" I'm a Christian, So, Why would I? 2. People wearing T-Shirts of a metal band but they name a song by pop stars or rappers. (Keep in mind it's Usually Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hevisaurus, Ghost, Disturbed, Insane Clown Posse, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Slipknot, and Pink Floyd) 3. People calling me a rocker. There's a big difference between being a rocker and being a metalhead. 4. People thinking I'm summoning the Blair Witch or Jeff The Killer. Like why would I? 5. People thinking I've got a gun. 6. People thinking I'm a drug addict. It's no freaking rap song. 7. People tell me to listen to kpop instead of metal. 8. Country fans, rap fans, pop fans claim they don't know why metal's even a thing. 9. People telling me that Carcass is for pussies. 10. people grabbing on my Guns 'N' Roses or Murdock shirt telling me to get rid of that shit and get a job. 11. People saying Nickelback is a heavy metal band. Bonus point People thinking I only like metal because I only saw it on Beavis and Butthead.
People coming up to me and touching my clothes or worse, my beard? Ugh, right? Like, back off, Mildred, this isn't Saudi Arabia, but I WILL start throwing stuff at you.
One big annoyance for me is elitists who don’t grasp the very simple concept that it is entirely possible (and in fact perfectly okay) to like bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Kreator, and Sodom, as well as bands like Korn, Godsmack, Marilyn Manson, and Avenged Sevenfold. The whole idea that you have to be either team underground or team mainstream is just childish.
Me when I listen to country - "Wow. Racist." Me when I listen to punk - "Misfits? Nazi Devil worshiper." Me when I listen to metal - "Kiss is true heavy metal."
"Oh so you listen to metal? Like AC/DC and Metallica?" Sure. Theese are all I listen to. I don't even listen to AC/DC "Hey, you look like Jesus!" Funny
Still do this day, my biggest metalhead annoyance..... When a bitch has the nerve to touch my man's hair. "Omg, ur hairs prettier than mine" Yeah it is, touch it again and you'll pull back a nub. 🤘
Posers and Metal elitists are the worst for me. Oh you acting all tough and edgy but the only Metallica song you know is "When the Bell tolls?" and "Oh you like more main stream metal like Megadeth and Metallica? Then you not a real metal head, I listen to *insert name of garage metal band that no one has ever fucking heard of*"

My reply is usually "Sometimes I cannot understand what they are saying, best music for drowning out unwanted noise."
Flay The Skin I actually had a good 1 minute convo with a kid in either my homeroom or first period [they're back to back in the same room] He asked me why I would listen to that stuff. I told him basically half it is just the mood/musical aspect of it. It's easier to just sit back and listen to the guitars and drums then pay attention to the lyrics. I might know the lyrics but at the end of the day it's more the instruments than the vocals that determine if I like a song or not.
I will point out I was listening to black metal soo the lyrics are pretty much impossible to understand without taking the time to listen to vocalist and the song over an over again. Death metal I can usually understand it but like I usually don't pay attention to the lyrics if I'm just working on something else.
Lol meanwhile theyre listening to music with lyrics just as hard to understand!! This one drives me nuts.
Well it depends on the of metal, but of course anyone saying retarded things would be talking about easy-as-fuck to understand like Metallica...

You can just laugh at the fact that your musical taste is better than their's ; ) its what i do
Black people invented Rock 'N' Roll like Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Without them metal could not be what it is today.

Or worse ghetto rap about selling crack and slappin hoes.

Nothing like scaring off an annoying christian who won't let me finish shopping with a "goodbye and may beelzebub's gaze be upon you"
I live in Florida, I should try that sometime, or some variant of that, like Cthulhu or Nyarlethotep or some other really scary Lovecraftian god.
For that part of the joke I learned how to say hail Satan in Romanian
One annoyance for me is when someone who knows I like Metal catches me Listening to something other than Metal and then says "This doesn't seem like your type of Music,"
Most people say they wouldn't think metal is my type of music
I would say "What can a guy in high school choir not find enjoyable songs to sing to?" *proceeds to find some sort of musical showtune to sing to*
You ain't never lied
I would say to that person ever heard of liking more than one type of music

I agree with them all. Another annoying thing I come across is when dumb people compare Metal to emo.
I used to hang out with one emo girl in junior high - she recognized she wasn't listening to metal. She was cool. I remember one time our teacher said something about dressing in light colors during summer and we looked at each other and just tried not to laugh

*Ignorance 100*
@@emiliapawny4746 Exactly, I can name 3 "satanic bands", but they have never heard more then 15 seconds of metal in their life.
It's funny when I say all rap is about sex and drugs, and they try to defend it 😅 that doesn't get old ( I do listen to some rap on occasion, aside from the usual Metal-core through BM ).
I agree, but I never heard anyone call metal music emo
“You like that emo crap”
I hate when they say that!!!
Same, especially since I'm a goth and I don't like being compared to emos
Some band have evolved from emo. But most died
Yep, all the fucking time
Those are fighting words to me
When you have headphones on and your listening to some Maiden and someone has the gull to tap your shoulder and ask you something, right in the middle of the solo. Ugh, i hate that!
If you wait until the song is over it's less annoying ;) It's just the right thing to do.
I really really hate when people do that! It gets under my skin! It’s never ever important when it happens!
When people speak to you when you have your headphones on ... no.
I hate it when I want to talk to someone and they have to keep one headphone on (or both)
Nicholas Garza that happened to me on the bus and it’s fucking annoying
When people say "I listen to all kinds of music" and when Metal comes up, they talk shit on it.
Another is that they say that Metal has no melody. They clearly haven't hard of MELODIC Death Metal
I hate melodic metal.
Clearly they haven’t heard of ANY metal.
Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura, all of them have melodies. Almost EVERY metal song has melody.

"UGH, DEPRESSING"
Got that a lot from my family. So whilst I was being depressing listening to Korpiklaani songs about partying, my family were being not-depressing by listening to R&B songs about relationship breakups and domestic violence.
When someone tells me metal is just noise and talentless. I always tell them that it takes a lot more talent to do what they do than a lot of the main stream pop singers.
Shane Everett ikr! I totally forgot that making beats and music on a fucking computer, which anybody and their moms can do, takes more talent than picking up instruments and making music that way.
monokhem that’s very true but literally anybody can sit down in front of a computer and make some rhythmic beats that are so called “fire”, but not everybody can sit down and instantly play riffs, solos, blast beats, etc. Of course some riffs and solos are easier than others but they all take practice to do and perform.
Trippinator Machine Not to mention being able to scream through 9 songs on stage. I’ve been listening to metal for years and still can’t scream like a lot of those other vocalists can. It kills my throat. It takes lots of practice.
This is so true lol

Lol at least u didnt get in trouble for it
I've never heard the Cookie Monster joke, but once a friend of mine asked me if I needed a lighter when we were passing by a church, which was pretty funny. The satanism thing happened to me once - a neo-nazi guy from my (fortunately) former class came to me and asked if I was a satanist, I looked him straight in the eyes and in a totally calm voice said yes. He didn't talk to me after that (I knew he was trying to bully me, so I acted like I was unbothered - which I really wasn't). No one ever commented on my t-shirts or tried grabbing them never happened, but once when I was waiting for a bus in my Venom t-shirt with there was also a nun on the bus stop - she remained quiet, but her expression was gold. As for the personality thing - more people would probably start with me being an atheist (I had to explain to 5 of my HIGH SCHOOL classmates how atheism wirks, because I was the only atheist they've ever met), but they know I draw, write, apparently have a good sense of humor, like Marvel, reading, I'm interested in tattoos (I'm 16, so currently have no tats, but I want to get some when I'm older - like when I'm not impulsive, hormonal kid)
EDIT: Also, 2 funny, but annoying stories:
-once I was told that I should listen to a wider variety of music, because I don't listen to the radio and metal all sounds the same (totally ignoring that I said I also like punk, hard rock, classic rock, blues, grunge and some other generes, beside metal, which is insanely diverse genre, but apparently let's say Black Sabbath, Darkthrone and Epica sound exactly the same)
-my mum's friend came with her daughter and she saw my cd collection (around 10 albums back then) and wanted me to put something on. I said she may not like it since it's metal. She said she likes metal. I put on Ride the lightning. She said it's awful. I said she said she liked metal. She said "yes, but only Metallica"
And for those, who actually read this comment, here, have a few band recomendations:
-Empty Playground
-Stworz
-Thy Worshipper
-Hunter
that friend who asked you if you needed a lighter...what a fucking genious, must be a very good friend
This isn't really metal related, but Everytime I wear my army of darkness shirt to school people always give it looks. Probably staring at the chainsaw arm or the tits on it if I had to guess.🤷
That last story had me cringeing so hard. So many people like Metallica and they don't know about their old stuff, which is the best.
We'll, it was originally just a joke. Didn't MEAN to make anybody cringe. It's a good movie. And yeah, metallicas old stuff is best. But whatever.
We do not worship satan. Satan worships us. Because reasons.... (And he is impressed by our good taste in music)
I cringe when someone says “oh this is sreamo” as I’m playing something like Deicide or Lamb of God. I also hate it when someone wants to talk trash about one band I like and try to convince me to like their bands they like which I end up not enjoying at all.
And how are fucking average metal heads different than that? When everyone talks shit about todays pop artists its okay, but when people talk shit about your precious metal bands its wrong? And when people try to convince you to like their music its bad, but when metalheads try to convince someone that their music is better than todays pop music its okay?
@@GheeJuice you make a big assumption here. You can't tell wether (s)he is that kinda guy ( or girl). Many metalheads are, not all, of course, and you are right to point it out.
@@thrownswordpommel7393 Not talking about all the fans, since I am one myself as well. It just sounded really hypocritical since metalheads are famous for being the "vegans of music".
Lamb of God pretty much wore emo fashion in the mid 2000’s and their drummer plays a lot of beats similar to those found in music from bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance so I can forgive them on that.
@@andysixxlett2632 are you even listening to the same band here? im preeeeeeety sure those other bands dont even have a double kick pedal. and Lamb of God never wore emo clothes.

Me: yup
Them: “but you’re so nice.”

"For Goodness Sake... Metalheads are Normal and I'm not Into Metal Music."

And this is how a typical conversation goes:
Them: "I listen to everything."
Me: "What about heavy metal?"
Them: "No, not that."
Me: *Internally Screams*
The one I get all the time is, how can you call yourself a Christian, and listen to heavy-metal?
Dusty Bragg simply answer how can you call yourself a christian? You havent burned any witches at the stakes.
Tell them that Christian metal exists too
I get this all the time, I've been going to church since I was born, saved since I was 4 and made the conscience decision to accept Jesus.
Now I'm part of our youth staff of our church.
I get a lot of "All metal is satanic, you shouldn't listen to any of it, the 3rd whatever chords are evil and and it will make you stray away from God. Oh and it's all satanic."
K... You literally watch horror movies, listen to rap songs where 35% the lyrics are 4 letter words, and play violent video games... If all metal is satanic how do you explain the last few verses of Psalm 150, the bands Grave Declaration, Demonicduth, Hope for the Dying, HB, Scandinavian Metal Praise, Golden Resurrection, Wolves at the gate, War of Ages, Sinbreed, etc etc..

My mom told me that I should listen to other music because I have to be well-rounded. Another time, she told someone else “this is just his metal phase”. I told her that it wasn’t and she tried to correct herself, but I knew what she meant, so I just walked away. And then recently, she pointed out that a shirt I was wearing looked like ass cheeks. One of my friends said the same thing. She also gets scared when I mention mosh pits and circle pits.
Edit: Also, I asked someone in my class if they could guess one of my favorite bands. I knew what was gonna come and I guessed right. She said “My Chemical Romance”. Another went “Queen”. They went back and forth with classic bands and popular bands while I just declined each time. At the time, I was wearing a shirt from one of my favorite bands. They don’t look at the obvious signs

The most hilarious part about the discrimination against men with long hair is that throughout MOST OF history, men wore their hair long. The universal trend of short hair on men was actually established in the early 1800s/Victorian age. Ask any history buff(like myself) or look up old/ancient portraits and works of art featuring men from most old/ancient cultures and you will find that most men wore their hair shoulder length or longer.
I’d say the #1 annoyance for me is......
POSERS
literally while I was watching this video my dad came in my room and started to mention that my music was garbage lol and that this person in this vid is wearing an ugly t shirt. R u kidding me?
Fucking christ this comment section
- What does that say on your t-shirt?
- It says Rotting Christ.
- Errmm... ok then...
Relatable :D
"There must be something wrong with you to dress this way.'" You must have issues or a troubled past.
I find it annoying that people tell me that "you don't look like a metalhead" because I don't normally wear band t-shirts and dress in that type of apparel, but I listen to the music.
Smartguy561 I was the same way for a while! I’ve been listening to metal since high school. I’m 29 and just recently started wearing band shirts as welll as a battle vest.
@@ZJMusic1990 I'm glad someone understands where I'm coming from. I'm 43 and I've never dressed that way. I love metal music (I've been listening to it for roughly the last 30 years or so. I graduated in 1994) I'm just not interested in dressing that way, although my friends dressing that way doesn't bother me. The most important thing to being a metal head is that a person actually likes and listens to metal music. I may get some shirts of my favorite bands if I can find them at a reasonable price, but I probably won't wear them much so that I don't mess them up.
I get that at work and I'm like why just because I have short hair and glasses catch me in a revocation pit I'm definitely the type of person to listen to this.
I got band shirts and I also got blue jeans
Them: "It's a phase you'll grow out of it."
Me: ""Well, it's been 35 years, so it's been a long phase for me"
Them: "Isn't Metal music & fans devil worshipers ?"
Me: "Yeah some are, but some are christians, muslims, buddists, atheists too"
Them: "Why do you have long hair?"
Me: "Why do you have short hair?"
Them: "Can i read your shirt?"
Me: "Can you read my mind?"
I really enjoyed this video because I relate to what your points/views were.
Personally I really can't stand it either when people just walk up to me and touch me. Its rude and some people get really really mad. Because I wear things with spikes and i have colored hair, people find that as a pass to come up and touch me and that sends me into orbit. I don't like being touched by a stranger especially when they haven't asked if its okay. If you ask me "Hey can I touch your (hair, bracelet, etc.)" I'll most likely tell you yes because you had common sense to ASK before you started touching me. Once in Target a woman came up behind me and grabbed a handful of my hair and it scared me and I almost slapped her because it was very alarming and I didn't know her. Just use common sense. It takes you places.
1. Everything (I am easily agitated and quick to anger)
2. Expensive :(
3. ???????????????
4. People think you're Emo/Alt/Goth
5. Hard to find other metalheads
My personal five.
I've never really gotten the "do you worship satan" and whenever I've gotten that it's usually friends just being sarcastic for laughs to which I return their sarcasm by sticking my tongue out and making my fingers horns keeping the joke going
I used to get asked that like almost every day in school.
As an ex metaller, well ex uniformed one, we used to dress that way, deliberately, to stand out, ie garner attention. Why then pretend to be pissed off for succeeding in our mission?
I related to this video real hard. My main one is when my friends and family just can’t believe I enjoy metal because “I’m a girl and way too nice to like that sort of stuff”.
You get a sub my friend
1, having emos following you around asking you about screamo
2, being called a Satanist
3, finding out a7x are touring with your favorite band
I love to go see A7X
the 5fdp megadeth tour :((
@@madsbdker5579 wait what?
Are they actually touring together!?!
@@biblicaladrian6007 sadly yes
i love a7x but i gotta say i laughed my ass off reading your comment
Okay, so one day I told my mom I was watching Iron Maiden Flight 666, and she said "ur listening to devil music"
SAYS THE ONE WHO LISTENS TO METALLICA!
My mom always calls metal "I hate my mother music" and asks why I hate her when she hears me listening to it. That's mildly annoying.
Nick Hyland wtf
I'm sorry for you if that's the case. That doesn't sound very motherly.
My kids are clearly lucky, they have a metalhead mum and were raised on it 😁.
Jokes on her, my mom and I love metal music and I love her.
Here's my pet peeves:
1. "Do you worship the devil?" I'm a Christian, So, Why would I?
2. People wearing T-Shirts of a metal band but they name a song by pop stars or rappers. (Keep in mind it's Usually Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hevisaurus, Ghost, Disturbed, Insane Clown Posse, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Slipknot, and Pink Floyd)
3. People calling me a rocker. There's a big difference between being a rocker and being a metalhead.
4. People thinking I'm summoning the Blair Witch or Jeff The Killer. Like why would I?
5. People thinking I've got a gun.
6. People thinking I'm a drug addict. It's no freaking rap song.
7. People tell me to listen to kpop instead of metal.
8. Country fans, rap fans, pop fans claim they don't know why metal's even a thing.
9. People telling me that Carcass is for pussies.
10. people grabbing on my Guns 'N' Roses or Murdock shirt telling me to get rid of that shit and get a job.
11. People saying Nickelback is a heavy metal band.
Bonus point
People thinking I only like metal because I only saw it on Beavis and Butthead.
(I’m a girl)
“Oh you like metal? But you’re too pretty for that...”
Okay? So metalhead girls need to be ugly to listen to it?
People coming up to me and touching my clothes or worse, my beard? Ugh, right? Like, back off, Mildred, this isn't Saudi Arabia, but I WILL start throwing stuff at you.
Things that this particular metalhead doesn't like: people looking at him, people talking to him, people touching him and probably people in general
One big annoyance for me is elitists who don’t grasp the very simple concept that it is entirely possible (and in fact perfectly okay) to like bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Kreator, and Sodom, as well as bands like Korn, Godsmack, Marilyn Manson, and Avenged Sevenfold. The whole idea that you have to be either team underground or team mainstream is just childish.
Me when I listen to country - "Wow. Racist."
Me when I listen to punk - "Misfits? Nazi Devil worshiper."
Me when I listen to metal - "Kiss is true heavy metal."
Jose Casas People are ignorant.
I knew you were racist the whole time just by lookin at ya : ) and yeah nickelback > rings of saturn
Country's racist?! Haven't they heard of Hootie and The Blowfish?! Also metal rules.
the most annoying thing for me in metal is people calling themselves metalheads :D
that and people trying hard to let everyone know what they listen.
"Oh so you listen to metal? Like AC/DC and Metallica?" Sure. Theese are all I listen to. I don't even listen to AC/DC
"Hey, you look like Jesus!" Funny
I'm 52 years old. I've been listening to metal for 42 years. I have simply lost an ability to give a fuck what people say. You will too.
"Oh you listen to metal. I love five finger death punch." 😔
Which is a metal band. But probably not trve kvlt enough for you, right?
I hate when they says
what if I get dizzy? (When I am doing headbanding)
I am answer
I dont get dizzy
You forgot “ are you emo?”
Still do this day, my biggest metalhead annoyance..... When a bitch has the nerve to touch my man's hair. "Omg, ur hairs prettier than mine" Yeah it is, touch it again and you'll pull back a nub. 🤘
When host of music TV shows that aren't typically metal introduce a metal act with some half assed "rock" voice.
Posers and Metal elitists are the worst for me.
Oh you acting all tough and edgy but the only Metallica song you know is "When the Bell tolls?"
and
"Oh you like more main stream metal like Megadeth and Metallica? Then you not a real metal head, I listen to *insert name of garage metal band that no one has ever fucking heard of*"
And my day is made
