Um... you can't just listen to heavy music to become a metalhead, wtf. Seriously. It has to give you that feeling inside. When you hear a fucking guitar solo that makes 9/11 look like a firecracker or vocals that please you like an asian sexslave, you should just be immersed in that overwhelming feeling said things provide. If you're tr00, you'll be pulled into the music. Either you're a metal head or you aren't, there's no inbetween. It should invoke a certain feeling in you, or else you may need to seek alternative genres of music to obtain that emotion/bond us metalheads get from our favourite songs/bands. Being emo is ok, eventhough we joke a lot around here cause that lifestyle and its concepts seems to be the (laughable) contrary to ours.

A big part being metalhead is being yourself and listening to what you like despite what any other motherfucker says, so... considering you're only exploring this genre because of pressure from your friends, that's a good indication this maybe not be much more than a (forced) phase for you.

:erk: I honestly have no clue wtf is going on nowadays, but it seems more and more there's people who list a tonne of NON-metal bands (like kelly Clarkson, Greenday, Panic at the Disco, etc) on their myspaces and facebooks then they couple with that list a few metal greats, (like CoB, Iron Maiden, Dimmu Borgir, etc...). It's just a new and weird thing that's taken us metalheads by surprise. It used to be only one sort of people liked metal, and there was a lifestyle and attitude of individualism that accompanied it and no one else really went for it outside of that crowd.

Now it's sorta getting extremely mainstream. :( Young kids like the music but don't really have that lifestyle or attitude, which is fine. I just don't like the idea that listening to heavy metal makes them metalheads. (Same with if you listen to rap you're a gangster or listen to emo music, you're emo [eventhough I don't listen to either, I'm just saying to illustrate my point])

Not to be elitist, cuz I don't care for that bullshit unless I'm kidding around, but I'm just saying, in my books, it's a lifestyle/attitude not the bands you listen to that gives your the title 'metalhead'.

That's my opinion anyways, who's with me?
