1. A genre of music that is characterized by distortion and other elements, too broad for me to define.
2. Slang word utilized by Mike Tobey and his friends to describe numerous things that are good or very badass.
1. Black Sabbath, Strapping Young Lad, Cryptopsy, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, Shadows Fall and Slayer do not sound alike but are all considered "metal".
2. "Oh, man, that's so metal!" Mike Tobey in response to the statement that his friend recently lost his anal virginity.

Metal is the best music around. It combines insane guitar riffs with deep bass rythems and heart pounding drum beats. It is often fast pased and there is screaming involved.
To all those people who bash metal:
Get over yourself, we can like metal without haveing you diss it so please stop.
I like rap too and i can tell you that metal involves more talent than rap, I can rap for christ sake.
P.S. Punk sux!
Bill: Dude i just got the new System of a Down CD man!
Leonard: MAN! that CD is pure METAL, its off the hook!
Dude who dont like metal: Rap and Punk rock metal is shit!
Now dead dude who dont like metal: I wish i wasnt so synical or Bill and Leonard wouldnt have beat my ass and killed me.

Arguably one of the most overrated genres of music ever devised. Involving little creative musical tastes, but making up for it with meaningless lightning-fast riffs and extremely prolonged and annoying heavy double bass lines.
Metalheads compare metal to the 'alternatives', punk and rap, and think that those are the only other genres people listen to and appreciate, and because metal is 'better' than them, metal MUST be the greatest.. right?
I'm not going to get into punk and metal and rap, because I don't properly appreciate any of them. But punk's roots and rap's roots are a lot better and go back way longer. No, metal was not what started rock, anyone who believes that was about 45 years off. Rock obviously sparked metal, and I feel ashamed that such amazing and talented music could fill the mainstream with such filth. Nuff said.
Metal took The Who, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin and others and fucked their style up the ass to create a hideous 'genre' of music. Fuck Metal.

quite possibly the worst type of music ever. if you enjoy the sound of someone being tortured and beaten and the sound of people stomping on small animals, metal is for you.
iron maiden is a horrible metal band, in fact all metal is irritating.

<I>"For us Metal is absolutely NOT only the music. Neither is it only a way of belonging to a social culture group, which many people think Metal is, and they call it βthe Metal way of life.β Music is only a form of expression. A language. A sort of communication. But Metal, being Metal, is representing, searching and striving for particular values. Itβs for us what we guess for religious people is their religion/faith/god or whatever you call it. But we do NOT believe in any controlling providence! Therefore we donβt believe in fate. We believe in actions caused by oneself. Although we always have a certain amount of belief reserved for possible influences of spiritual character. We have our very own interpretations and general way. The key to the realm of what we call Metal is--among other things--striving for inner pureness, a romantic (which means magical) beholding of life, balance and harmony within you (but even storming thoughts can generate new aspects of awakening and progression), the general insight and by that the understanding of the true nature of things, striving for trueness and honesty which lights up and embellishes oneβs and othersβ way of life. True Metal as music is Metal true in spirit, theory and practice. It shall not be measured by stylistic or instrumental values, but by the content! Creating art which is in such true balance with oneβs personal ideology that it almost borders on madness. This is the only way. Total consistency, but also objective judgement." - Lost Horizon</I>
Death to false metal!

Know what your chem class taught you about metals: they are malleable, meaning it can be shaped in any way. And metal music is the same as the former and that's were "metal" got its name.
Metal music is the best! You can make it in any way as you please.
