I wear Metal shirts 99% of the time, and 99% of my wardrobe is Metal shirts. This is not to show off. Every once in a while if a song I'm listening to particularly strikes my fancy and I'm really into it, I'll turn it up. I occasionally introduce a few bands to my friends who don't listen to Metal, but only if I think that they can find something in it to appreciate.
I have a couple of metal t-shirts, although I mostly wear them when I go to bed. But I do prefer darker clothes and my hair is probably more long than the average.
Must say that I hate being called 'metal' or whatever, since the metalheads that I know (not many to be honest) are a bunch of lowlife retards who's main goal in life is to get drunk as often possible, as for women-most of them are dumb whores (again, the ones that I know).

I don't think of it as showing off at all, almost all of my clothes are either metal shirts or jeans and my hair is extremely long but thats just the way it is. i play loud music not to piss people off, but because i like it loud and i don't think that metal is superior to other kinds of music, but if someones music sucks like any other person i'll mock it. what strikes me the most as trying to show off being metal are the people that don't do that in their regular life, like people i know who wear trendy shirts and $50 dollar jeans to school yet at shows they try to dress as metal as possible like they're dressing up in a uniform, that strikes me as lame.

Do I fuck. I only have one band shirt and it's a metallica one so if I were it more likely than not some 'tru' metal head will mutter some mocking remark as I walk past. I probably listen to cooler metal than them though so whatever. I just can't be arsed with band shirts. Too much money I could be spending on CDs/HiFi stuff/musical instrument type stuff.
Most people are shocked to hear that I'm into metal, so I'm assuming that I don't show it off...

I wear band t-shirts occasionally but I usually wear logoless, plain-colored t-shirts. I sometimes blast metal in my dorm (my roommate doesn't listen to much metal but he doesn't mind pretty much anything I play). My hair is mid-length.

I have only band shirts, even my work out shirts are cut up Maiden shirts. I wear the combat boots and camo pants too, with black shades in doors.
But really, i like pink tutus and flowers!

I have long hair, but that's about it. I don't think most people associate it with metal though, because they keep telling me that I look like Jesus. Also, it seems to me that metalheads are more likely to be bald and have long hair.
I wear button up shirts though and I'm extremely outgoing and extraverted, so I probably don't seem like the "metal type" to most people. I do listen to and write metal often though, which I'm sure people can hear as they walk by my room, since I leave the door open, but I really don't like loud music very much, so it's probably not loud enough to bother anyone.
Metal's not the only thing I listen to though, as I'm extremely interested in ethnomusicology, so I listen to a lot of classical / orchestral, folk & traditional, and asian music as well. I do listen to metal the most often though and although I do write mostly metal, I take influences from the other stuff that I listen to as well. Basically, I want to write progressive ethnic fusion extreme metal.

tbh I dont anymore. I used to. I did that whole "yeah im metal as fuck, I listen to extreme shit" thing. I cut my hair off now, broadened my musical tastes, and yeah. But I still wear my metal shirts everywhere, along with a longneck sweater and some nice pants
I am wearing a Ruehl V-neck thermal right now. :Smug:
I show off being a music fan in some ways. I hate people who try to shove it in your face, mostly the stereotypical ones who don't expect me to listen to metal but have only listened to Opeth, Behemoth and Amon Amarth but the moment you drop Peste Noire, Entombed, Blasphemy, Archgoat, Beherit, or any other obscure band they don't know shit and they stop expecting you are a poser.

who?
on a related topic, ive met people all over the world just because of a band shirt. all over europe and asia. while i dont force it often, i do display metal proudly and i meet people because of it, even without saying a word at first. i was in a market at the oslo train station and the clerk there notice my cryptopsy shirt. we had a small conversation and whatnot. another time i was in a bar in okinawa seeing a band named deadblood. their singer came up to me, not speaking a word of english, and started talking to me through hummed riffs, because he recognized the shirt i was wearing.
i like the exchanges, and maybe thats one of the reasons i still wear my band shirts, hoping to meet new people around the world.
i also like supporting the scene, and wearing the shirts is one way of doing that (along with writing for this website, promoting shows, etc.)

Not really. Most of the people that meet me at first glance don't have a fuckin' clue, when they get to know me most tell me '' do you listen to that shit?''

- I don't really play my music too loud. I just don't like it too loud.
- I wear metal shirts eveyrwhere I'm comfortable to.
- I don't try to make my un-metal friends to listen to metal, they need to come to it theirselves, like I have.
- I speak black metal vocals for life.
- the only 'show off' of me is that I put pin of a metal bands on the back of my bag.
and I never wear camo
