Have you found it difficult to meet people who enjoy extreme metal? I haven't met anyone who likes death, black, power, or progressive metal yet here and I was the only fan back at my old high school. The closest I've come is I seen a guy here with a Rotting Corpse shirt on and I don't knowm him. I'm going to wear my Emperor long-sleeve tomorrow and I doubt I'll get comments on the band.

I never explore a group of people to see who's a metalhead amongst them, but If I happen to notice a tell-tale band shirt, I might approach them.

I go to school with a guy who wears a Dragonforce shirt every once in a while. I've never talked to him.

I don't really try, considering most of them have extremely horrid taste. Plus I myself don't look "metal" at all (I'm a short white kid with almost 0 band shirts and short hair fyi). I've found one to this day, and he's still one of my best friends, though.

Its not common where I live which is a bummer. Everyone is into their popular trash and if they learn you're into extreme music, they either laugh at you or think you're odd.
EDIT: the metalheads who I do know of in Sydney are mostly into cheddar cheese power metal so I wouldn't find much of a common ground with them anyway.

Yes, but to be honest, I don't need my friends to like the same music as me. I have a couple of more mainstream metal friends - which is nice - but I don't feel the need to eulogise goregrind in r/l.

I know of one guy at my school who is into some of the more mainstream metal e.g. In Flames, Metallica etc. but I don't really talk to him because he's a dick. None of my friends are into metal (although one likes Iron Maiden and Judas Priest), but it really doesn't bother me, I just leave metal as something for myself.

That comment coming from you is fucking hilarious.
why is this? because i said plymouth has a huge metal scene? that its a way of life here? well it is, and sure, my friends like the bands that thrive around here, but i guarantee i couldnt find anyone else in plymouth that listenes to death, bolt thrower, emperor, etc.
they are mostly mallcore kids or goths.
most of my friends listen to hardcore, mainstream metal, metalcore.
If I met a chick I would hope she listened to enya. I know one person into metal and do not need to know anymore. It's like dipshit + dipshit.
