Thrasher

Someone with thrash metal as their reason of life. They usually like proto black metal, since it's often basically satanic thrash. Usually long haired, with that stereotypical metalhead look. Alcoholism isn't that uncommon. They are often elitists (love 'em) and usually left leaning. They often have a music superiority complex, and they're kinda right.

Guy with a Poison tshirt: Bro, look at that guy? Should I go talk to him?

Girl with a Slipknot tee: Dude, that's a thrasher. He'd call us both posers.

Thrasher: NU AND GLAM ARE GOOD ONLY ON SILENT MODE 🗣️🗣️💯🔥

False metal

"False metal" is a term created by Manowar in the 80s to describe glam metal music.

Nowadays it also includes nu metal, deathcore, metalcore and similar genres. Some people also include DSBM (depressive suicidal black metal).

Me: These idiots seem to be sure it's metal.

DSBM guy: It is? Why, what, eh?

Me fr: Go listen to some Aura Noir. Death to false metal!

Blackster

Peculiar kind of metalhead. Listens to a lot of black metal (1st & 2nd wave BM, DSBM, NSBM, in general). Common traits are: depression, anxiety and racism (lol). The older ones usually like to gatekeep bands and hate Mayhem (good). Their favorite Eevee evolution is Umbreon. Weezer fan but extreme metal.

Guy with a cool hat online: What a blackster! Go touch grass and listen to some good music!

Blackster: Shut the fuck up, kid. I literally live in the woods.

clownpaint

Used by metalheads to indicate the facial makeup nu-metalheads do, which they usually try to pass off as corpsepaint. Synonym of "shitpaint".

Nu-metal kid with a Slipknot tee on: Check out my corpsepaint!

Blackster: That's clownpaint, idiot.

Thrasher: What a poser.

Nu-metal kid: You fucking elitists, stop gatekeeping!

Crüehead: I'm with them this time.
