People who listen to metal aren't mad, angry, or feel hatred, their mostly happy. Also just because certain people listen to metal doesn't mean you worship Satan or something it's just a good type of genre that makes sense in certain topics. Metal is an awesome genre I recommend that some of you guys should listen to it. Stop me if you've heard this before "you listen to metal? Is that the 'kill your mother or anyone music?" I can understand how this perception builds if you aren't a metal fan, and you hear bands like Cannibal Corpse with songs entitled "Stripped, Raped, and Strangled" in conjunction with the zombified, horrific imagery the band portrays . Not all metalheads are white, I may be speaking from an autobiographical vantage point, being Hispanic. I know there are plenty of diehard metalheads who walk, talk, sleep, eat, and breathe heavy metal 24/7. To them, metal is not just something to listen to; it's a lifestyle and philosophy and sometimes it may be even be a phase. Long hair, tattoos, denim, leather, bullet belts, and spikes might seem like a Halloween shopping list, but some abide by these tropes in their daily lives. Actually I can't argue this one. Metalheads do like to get really fucked up. But then again, so does everyone else. Half of the hip hop songs out there are about drinking, from Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" to Three six Mafia's "Sippin' On Some Syrup".
