Movement of music that started essentially with the heavy rock movements of such bands as but not limited to: The Cream, The Spiders, Iron Butterfly, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Led Zepplin, and Kiss. The sound took a larger heavier sound with bands like Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Pentagram, AC/DC and such bands. But Black Sabbath was the most respected and possibly the darkest of the lot. This is considered the Classical Metal era between the mid sixties to the late seventies. From there on out, when the eighties rolled around, Speed metal became popular with the NWOBHM movement, and thrash metal evolved with such bands as Metallica, Exodus, Primus, Trauma, Megadeth, Testament et cetera. During the 80s a more underground movement of slow metal began to evolve called Doom Metal by such bands as Candlemass, Pentagram and the like. Also in the mid 80s a new form of metal evolved from thrash called Death Metal, and used screams, and heavy notes, and shortly after a new style formed yet again from death metal called grind metal or grindcore. The 90's rolled around, and Groove Metal began evolving with such bands as Pantera, and even Ozzy with his new guitarist took upon himself a slower style more groove/doom based rather than thrash. Then around the late 90s the groove and doom metal scene flourished and produced such bands as crowbar, down, and black label society. Also around the 90s a new form of Metal formed, New Metal. It comprised of such bands as Korn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Manson, Sevendust, and Godsmack. This style focuses on dissonance for heaviness and loud vocals, probably inspired by the death/noisecore of the late 80's movement.
Metal Rules!

Is one of the best genres of music ever known to man. However, alot of ignorant fucks thinks it promotes the worship of satan and stuff like that. Well, its not.
If I could marry Metal, I would.

To put it simply. The GREATEST music ever!
Dex the metalhead will NOT listen to songs that don't have kickass guitar solos, amazing bass lines, amazing drumming or great vocals!

If you're under the age of 18, and you think the hip new band you listen to is Metal, chances are, it isn't.
Fat chick: " Leik, OMG, the lead singer of this band soooo cute, and their Tshirt is black, so it will hide my rolls of fat, and I can wear lots of dark makeup and declare myself goth, which, again, will distract from the fat."
Rest of the world: "lol not metal"

The guys tend to wear band t-shirts, camoflage pants or combats and boots... New Rocks or para boots for example.
The girls will either dress similarly, or can be seen looking dangerous and sexy.
Those who favour Black Metal over other genres of metal will usually wear more black, a vast array of metal spikes, and sometimes Corpsepaint.
Either way long hair is must, for headbanging etc.
The most important aspect to being a metaller however, is a genuine love for the music, a passion which starts deep in the soul, makes your skin tingle, and has you screaming "HELL YEAH!!" If you don't get this feeling early on, the you're not ever likely to get it.
Some of the genres they will listen too include; Death, Black, Power, Classic, Doom, NWOBHM, Progressive, Thrash, Speed, Industrial, Melodic Death, Folk.
Being a metaller also often includes a lifestyle of drinking, sex, smoking, going to gigs, getting down and dirty in the Pit, and just generally immersing ones self in dedication to music, wether it be listening to or playing it, and all the knowlege which goes with it.
Metallers can spot a poser (or 'New Breed')a mile off. A true metaller is in it for life; its not a choice, its a calling.
1st metaller; do they suffer for coming after the whole melodic death metal zeitgeist?
2nd metaller; to me, its a continuation of what that music is doing, theyre pushing it to new extreme levels.
1st metaller; awesome, now lets go get some fuckin beer.
