Fast, brutal, epic, catchy, full of power, skill,technical ability and full of diversity. Able to suit most musical needs for those seeking them. Those who have limited or no knowledge of metal music shouldnt judge it! For those wanting to know, Metal music contains many sub-genres including Heavy, Death, Melodic Death, Black, Doom, Power, Thrash, Speed, Folk, Industrial, Progressive, Metalcore & Nu-Metal to name a few. Black Sabbath arguably invented Heavy + Doom Metal which was later characterised by bands like Iron Maiden.'Death' along with other bands like Celtic Frost started the Death Metal movement, Venom invented Black Metal + was later characterised by bands like Mayhem, Emperor & Burzum. Bands like Dark Tranquility and In Flames characterised Melodic death or gothenburg metal. Thrash metal was basically defined by Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Sodom & Sepultura. While the more recent and commercially successful genres include Nu-Metal popularised by bands like Korn, Mudvayne, Papa Roach & Slipknot. While Metalcore includes bands like Killswitch engage, Trivium, Caliban & Shadows fall. While progressive metal includes bands like Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation & Apocalyptica. Contrary to believe there is no such genre as Emo-Metal (which most metal fans will express their hate/dislike for emo music and its fans). Bands that are considered to be Emo-Metal like Atreyu & Avenged Sevenfold most likely fall into the Hardcore category seperate from metal. Goth-Metal also doesnt exist, although some bands take several gothic elements in their image such as Cradle of filth. All in all, Metal is a great diverse form of music that was just meant to be kept 'underground' (away from mainstream media). Furthermore, people should stop acting ignorantly towards metal i.e. accusing metal as being satanic and/or dumbass + violent. Music is just a form of expression and metal chooses to explore the sensations in which softer rock music fails to reach.
Heavy Metal (Classic) - Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Motorhead
Thrash - Pantera, Metallica, Sepultura, Soulfly, Megadeth
Death/Melodic death - Death, Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom (debatable), In Flames, Cannibal Corpse
See definition for some other examples of different subgenres. In conlusion all metal (with some exceptions ofcourse) kicks ass!

Good. God's gift to all humanity.
Metal is metal, fuck the sub-genres, if its metal its metal, if its not its not. Slipknot is metal, but probably the weakest form existing.
Lamb of God, Bohemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Kataklysm, etc are all real metal.
By the way, a good band I recently found 'War of Ages' is amazing, check it out.
Metal Heads is a stereotype for the typical metal enthusiast (excuse the fail spelling). Metal heads dont give a fuck about what people think of them, DO NOT wear any specific type of clothing, they wear whatever the fuck they want, they are loyal to metal.
Metal Heads are often looked down upon and are thought to be alcahol and/or drug abusing, stupid, ignorant, greasy fuckups. WRONG. There are some Metal Heads who are like this, for personal reasons, NOT because of their music. Metal Heads, are usually loud, hae a good sence of humor, well educated, get pissed off when people diss their genre, dislike mainstream, are VERY accepting, genuine people who will do what they can to help out, and so much more.
If your in a moshpit, and you fall over or the Metal Heads around you think your feeling uncomfortable, they will help you out and make sure your alright.
Don't judge us Metal Hewads before you know us.
Metal heads: *chanting* Lamb of God! Lamb of God Lamb of God! Lamb of God!
Fail Fag: *walks past* Lam of god iz sht bo, lsten 2 mahh rahp bo, itz teh sht bo.
Metal heads: Fuck you!! *plays "Black Label"*
Fail Fag: Crys and runs to his fail fag friends who are all stoned

A movement in music that started in the late 60's with Black Sabbath. Metal is generally classified by a heavy sound and rebellious and/or angry lyrics. Most forms of metal require an incredible musical proficiency. If you don't believe that, pick up a guitar sometime and try to play "Raining Blood" by Slayer.
Metal is the antithesis of mainstream music. It is quite possibly the most technically demanding and misunderstood form of music there is.
Metal's image was severely damaged in the 80's, with poser bands like Poison and Whitesnake claiming to be metal, when they were nothing more than watered down rock. The damage to metal's image continues even to this day, with many people not in the know beliving metal to be men in glittery spandex and poodle hair prancing about on stage singing 'Talk Dirty To Me." If you want an idea of what Metal truly is, take a look and a listen at a band like Slayer.
Some people have the misconception that metal is incoherent and devoid of melody or talent. People who think this obviously haven't listened to Iron Maiden. Generally people with this attitude are morons who listen to U2, so their opinions really don't matter anyway.
And to the guy who said metal is 'like rock, only gay,' Shut up and listen to your Ricky Martin album, you fvcking toolbag.
"That's fucking METAL!!"

A very judged and ridiculed type of awsome music. Often put off because of it's sheer intensity, and harsh lyrics, metal is one of the few genres of music that can take the criticism and spit it back out, twice as lound and twice as angry. Often metal bands are looked at as un-inteligent brutes, but in retro-spective, they are some of the smartest and most politicly aware type's of people around. A great example of this is Dee Snider (Twisted Sister). In his court case back in the eighties, the judges and prosecutors had not readied themselves for anything. Thinking him to be totaly outclassed and outsmarted, they sat back and watched as he enterd the court room. So they though, a lamb to the slaughter. But upon his arival, he sat down calmly, pulled out his papers, and deliverd such a rousing case that the judge and the prosecutors were dumbstruck. They were left speachless, and without a claim to make, they were forced to close the case against him, and drop the charges on him.
Many other Metal artists are looked down upon because of their music. Eg: Marilyn Manson, Till Lindmann, Alice Cooper, Danny Filth, Cory Tailor, ect...\
But In the end, its a great type of music, consisting of many different sub-genres that make it very diverse. Eg: Speed, Thrash, Grindcore, Industrial, Neo-classical, Death, Black, Swedish, Alternitive, Nu, Power, Progressive, Folk, Glam, Gothcore, Symphonic, Techno and Opratic. Suited to many different types of people. Thus, giving the term Metalhead a whole new meaning.
Arch Enemy, Slipknot, System of a down, Rammstein, Shadows Fall, Children of Bodom, Slayer, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Megadeath, Disturbed, Godsmack, Lamb of God, Opeth, Nechrophagist, Dark Tranquility, Aman Amarth, Trivium, Meshugga, In Flames, Mudvayne, Naglfar, Cannibal Corpse, Black Lable Society, Iced Earth, Mushroomhead, Saliva, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Metalica, Twisted sister, The Dead Kenadies, Cradle of Filth, Murder Dolls, Papa Roach, Killswitch Engage, and many many more...
Metal is awsome!!
