Most popular form of metal among females?

[Required Fields]

What would you say, among metal's female fans, is the most popular form of metal?

I'd say probably prog metal, Gothic metal and power metal are the most popular. Also traditional metal.

Thrash is definitely the least popular form of metal among female metal fans, from what I've gathered.

Black Metal is popular among females I would say.

 

[Badbird]

I would say that Deathcore as much as I hate it is the most popular among females.

My gf mostly likes trad doom... and thrash (metallica, megadeth, testament, etc)

 

[divine_torture]

Doom death stuff (Anathema, My Dying Bride) and gothic stuff/black metal a la Cradle and Dimmu or Theatre of Tragedy and Tristania.

 

[Srontgorrth]

I'd also say death doom gothicy stuff, and power metal.

Nu-metal, metalcore, goth-metal

My girl keeps me company when I do my radio show, and she taps her feet to pretty much everything I play. More than occasionally she even headbangs.

So I haven't quite identified what she likes the most. I have playlist of not-so-extreme metal I play when she's around, yet she likes the "melodramatic" stuff, which can describe just about all the Metal I play. I think I'll put more extreme genres into that playlist.

She's really into Punk and Ska, but claims that Metal is "better sex music."

You're all wrong.

It's obviously shit like Pantera, Machine Head, Hatebreed, Lamb of God, new Children of Bodom and alot of other bands that I like to pretend don't exist. Check the COB forum for instance. Alot of trendster/hipster chicks.

I've always found it to be Symphonic Metal.

 

[cookiecutter]

I would guess gothic metal and things like that

 

[just metal]

anything that sounds dark and gothic.

My favorite is old heavy metal but I don't think that it's the most popular.

I could see it being popular around girls.

I have to give you credit. I think the most popular form of metal among females who apparently watch a lot of anime would be stuff like Dir en grey, or whatever visual kei/j-pop band is the flavor of the week...

Been showing a girl metal and it's the gothic stuff, for sure.

 

[Satanstoenail]

My g/f's favorite style of metal is probably technical death metal, but she's up for most of the stuff I listen to.
