“I listen to a little bit of everything” Oh nice, you like any metal? “No, I don’t like screamo” __________________________ I don’t like these types of people who think all metal is screamo
equimanthorn6 I think it’s safe to say that all of us metalheads and even people who listen to a couple of metal bands are subject to the classics such as “how can you understand that” “do you worship the devil or something?” Or “that’s satanist music” I’d rather listen to let’s say Iron Maiden vs some rap artist who writes songs and albums about sex,drugs, abusing women and crap. Not to say all of them do that of course but, some people who have a problem with my metal listen to artists that fit that description. You like what you like, let me be for my music tastes and I’ll continue to let you be.
When I was 18 my older sister always told me that I would grow up and listen to only country music (at the time I was in to Judas Priest, AC/DC, Ozzy, etc.). Well, here I am at over 50 years old and listening to mostly thrash bands and have recently started an interest in Jinjer. This is one hell of a long phase.
I hate when people think because I'm black and a girl I can't listen to metal. I have had people literally come up to me saying black people cannot listen to metal because of the color of my skin by both metal heads and non metal heads and been called racial slurs because of it too. I'll listen to what I want thank you 😒
Flay The Skin I actually had a good 1 minute convo with a kid in either my homeroom or first period [they're back to back in the same room] He asked me why I would listen to that stuff. I told him basically half it is just the mood/musical aspect of it. It's easier to just sit back and listen to the guitars and drums then pay attention to the lyrics. I might know the lyrics but at the end of the day it's more the instruments than the vocals that determine if I like a song or not. I will point out I was listening to black metal soo the lyrics are pretty much impossible to understand without taking the time to listen to vocalist and the song over an over again. Death metal I can usually understand it but like I usually don't pay attention to the lyrics if I'm just working on something else.
@Anthony Farrish well now i can't sing along with year zero. And that's song is just cool. And you dont have to be satanist to sing along with that song.
@@5ar_ Yah, they call us narrow minded as we "don't allow ourselves to check more diverse genres then 'your metal' ". Yah, they don't see the hypocrisy.
One annoyance for me is when someone who knows I like Metal catches me Listening to something other than Metal and then says "This doesn't seem like your type of Music,"
I used to hang out with one emo girl in junior high - she recognized she wasn't listening to metal. She was cool. I remember one time our teacher said something about dressing in light colors during summer and we looked at each other and just tried not to laugh
@@emiliapawny4746 nice! I new these two emo girls in highschool they where alright, I once showed them the extreme stuff I listen to, and they said it scares them, and I just laughed!
@@emiliapawny4746 Exactly, I can name 3 "satanic bands", but they have never heard more then 15 seconds of metal in their life. It's funny when I say all rap is about sex and drugs, and they try to defend it 😅 that doesn't get old ( I do listen to some rap on occasion, aside from the usual Metal-core through BM ).
1 "Why do you have long hair?" 2 "Why do you buy so many t-shirts, you don't have enough of it?" 3 "Why you were only black?" 4 "Why you are wereing boots during the summer"? 5 "I don't understand, why do you like that kind of music?"
When someone tells me metal is just noise and talentless. I always tell them that it takes a lot more talent to do what they do than a lot of the main stream pop singers.
Shane Everett ikr! I totally forgot that making beats and music on a fucking computer, which anybody and their moms can do, takes more talent than picking up instruments and making music that way.
monokhem that’s very true but literally anybody can sit down in front of a computer and make some rhythmic beats that are so called “fire”, but not everybody can sit down and instantly play riffs, solos, blast beats, etc. Of course some riffs and solos are easier than others but they all take practice to do and perform.
Trippinator Machine Not to mention being able to scream through 9 songs on stage. I’ve been listening to metal for years and still can’t scream like a lot of those other vocalists can. It kills my throat. It takes lots of practice.
@Tsumuro growing up, hearing that type of comment was very common. People would say it's just noise and that they didn't even know what they were playing.
When people say "I listen to all kinds of music" and when Metal comes up, they talk shit on it. Another is that they say that Metal has no melody. They clearly haven't hard of MELODIC Death Metal
When you have headphones on and your listening to some Maiden and someone has the gull to tap your shoulder and ask you something, right in the middle of the solo. Ugh, i hate that!
"UGH, DEPRESSING" Got that a lot from my family. So whilst I was being depressing listening to Korpiklaani songs about partying, my family were being not-depressing by listening to R&B songs about relationship breakups and domestic violence.
- “you like metal? but you’re a girl!” - “well, you’re so pretty and you do ballet and you do well in school, so like how do you listen to [insert generic band name that anyone can listen to]?” (Very self specific but still very annoying)
Also, I've never had people touch my shirt but people constantly touch my vest and on purposely stab their hands on the spikes and then complain that the spikes stabbed them.
I once had a friend who wore spiked shoes to school, it seemed like everyone went out of their way just to step on them. She didn't wear them to school ever again
I've been a metalhead (since the 70's) for years and wear a sport jacket, suit & tie. People don't realize you can still be metal on the inside and appear what some call normal looking but they get shocked once they know what you listen too. Who cares ? Wear what you want, listen to what you want and be yourself, your true friends will accept you exactly the way you are. \m/\m/
@@yeldarb2022 yea, I could understand not wearing Behemoth to church for reasons of respecting the church I get that, but for everyday life is just child's play.
I've been a huge metalhead since I was about 7 years old and I'm 31 now. My mother is also a metalhead. In fact she was actually the person who first introduced it to me with Metallica and I've been addicted to them and metal music in general ever since. Mostly 80's metal. Hell, I can remember her and I watching Headbangers Ball together all the time. Good times.
I've never heard the Cookie Monster joke, but once a friend of mine asked me if I needed a lighter when we were passing by a church, which was pretty funny. The satanism thing happened to me once - a neo-nazi guy from my (fortunately) former class came to me and asked if I was a satanist, I looked him straight in the eyes and in a totally calm voice said yes. He didn't talk to me after that (I knew he was trying to bully me, so I acted like I was unbothered - which I really wasn't). No one ever commented on my t-shirts or tried grabbing them never happened, but once when I was waiting for a bus in my Venom t-shirt with there was also a nun on the bus stop - she remained quiet, but her expression was gold. As for the personality thing - more people would probably start with me being an atheist (I had to explain to 5 of my HIGH SCHOOL classmates how atheism wirks, because I was the only atheist they've ever met), but they know I draw, write, apparently have a good sense of humor, like Marvel, reading, I'm interested in tattoos (I'm 16, so currently have no tats, but I want to get some when I'm older - like when I'm not impulsive, hormonal kid) EDIT: Also, 2 funny, but annoying stories: -once I was told that I should listen to a wider variety of music, because I don't listen to the radio and metal all sounds the same (totally ignoring that I said I also like punk, hard rock, classic rock, blues, grunge and some other generes, beside metal, which is insanely diverse genre, but apparently let's say Black Sabbath, Darkthrone and Epica sound exactly the same) -my mum's friend came with her daughter and she saw my cd collection (around 10 albums back then) and wanted me to put something on. I said she may not like it since it's metal. She said she likes metal. I put on Ride the lightning. She said it's awful. I said she said she liked metal. She said "yes, but only Metallica" And for those, who actually read this comment, here, have a few band recomendations: -Empty Playground -Stworz -Thy Worshipper -Hunter
This isn't really metal related, but Everytime I wear my army of darkness shirt to school people always give it looks. Probably staring at the chainsaw arm or the tits on it if I had to guess.🤷
@Bunker Sieben 😂 i have a friend that calls herself a "metalhead" and once i asked her do you hear to exodus and she's like "tha fuck is that?"her favourite song of slipknot is duality DUALITY I mean dont get me wrong its a beautiful song but thats not a "metal head song" .I put her to listen to disaster piece and SHE SAID "ITS JUST NOIZZ" actually we dont have a good friendship anymore😔 She stabbed my back...but FUCK HER am i right?? The only thing I NEED IS METAL🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤
Two for me: "How can you understand the lyrics?" And this is how a typical conversation goes: Them: "I listen to everything." Me: "What about heavy metal?" Them: "No, not that." Me: *Internally Screams*
I cringe when someone says “oh this is sreamo” as I’m playing something like Deicide or Lamb of God. I also hate it when someone wants to talk trash about one band I like and try to convince me to like their bands they like which I end up not enjoying at all.
And how are fucking average metal heads different than that? When everyone talks shit about todays pop artists its okay, but when people talk shit about your precious metal bands its wrong? And when people try to convince you to like their music its bad, but when metalheads try to convince someone that their music is better than todays pop music its okay?
@@GheeJuice you make a big assumption here. You can't tell wether (s)he is that kinda guy ( or girl). Many metalheads are, not all, of course, and you are right to point it out.
@@thrownswordpommel7393 Not talking about all the fans, since I am one myself as well. It just sounded really hypocritical since metalheads are famous for being the "vegans of music".
Lamb of God pretty much wore emo fashion in the mid 2000’s and their drummer plays a lot of beats similar to those found in music from bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance so I can forgive them on that.
@@andysixxlett2632 are you even listening to the same band here? im preeeeeeety sure those other bands dont even have a double kick pedal. and Lamb of God never wore emo clothes.
Whenever someone says metal is just screaming and growling I show them Within Temptation, Epica, Nightwish, Delain, all the good symphonic metal there is out there basically
When I had my hair long a lot of girls and even other guys always asked what I did to make my hair look so nice. And all the time I was like "umm... I just wash it and brush it everyday"
I know what you mean. I just washed it atleast every second day and used a comb once a day. The girls should think that maybe they dont need all those chemicals in their hair.
Should have told them that the key to having luxurious hair such as you have, is THE METAL! Infomercial for Metal: Are you sick and tired of hair that splits, breaks, is too greasy but not shiny? Too dry and colorless? Or simply wont grow? TRY METAL! EVERY CHORD IN A SIC RIFF, REVERBERATES DEEPLY TO THE CORE OF EVERY HAIR FOLLICLE, PENETRATING EACH STRAND, BOOSTING ENDORPHINS THAT OTHERWISE REMAIN DORMANT. ITS SIMPLE! ITS EASY!

I was wearing my battle vest and walked down the street when an old woman I walked past made the sign of the cross and then made a claw like gesture towards me
Then you start screaming in pain, writhing in agony until you get to the ground. Scream, "Satan save me!" Then stand up and walk away like nothing happened.
My mom told me that I should listen to other music because I have to be well-rounded. Another time, she told someone else “this is just his metal phase”. I told her that it wasn’t and she tried to correct herself, but I knew what she meant, so I just walked away. And then recently, she pointed out that a shirt I was wearing looked like ass cheeks. One of my friends said the same thing. She also gets scared when I mention mosh pits and circle pits. Edit: Also, I asked someone in my class if they could guess one of my favorite bands. I knew what was gonna come and I guessed right. She said “My Chemical Romance”. Another went “Queen”. They went back and forth with classic bands and popular bands while I just declined each time. At the time, I was wearing a shirt from one of my favorite bands. They don’t look at the obvious signs
I get this all the time, I've been going to church since I was born, saved since I was 4 and made the conscience decision to accept Jesus. Now I'm part of our youth staff of our church. I get a lot of "All metal is satanic, you shouldn't listen to any of it, the 3rd whatever chords are evil and and it will make you stray away from God. Oh and it's all satanic." K... You literally watch horror movies, listen to rap songs where 35% the lyrics are 4 letter words, and play violent video games... If all metal is satanic how do you explain the last few verses of Psalm 150, the bands Grave Declaration, Demonicduth, Hope for the Dying, HB, Scandinavian Metal Praise, Golden Resurrection, Wolves at the gate, War of Ages, Sinbreed, etc etc.. Gets old after awhile tbh.

ok so for me annoying things 1. Parents convincing you to wear other things that arent of a band or arent even in black, cause they find it all 'weird' 2. the dumbest question "dont you get a headache from listening to that?" I actually answered a coworker that question and told her "if it gave me a headache i wouldnt listen to it" she said i was becoming distant and then i just walked away 3. this one for me is personal haha you see girls in metal festivals and you want to approach them but theyre either taken or with their dad 4. people grabbing my hair or asking "when are you going to get a haircut" 5. people calling metal "emo"
Yes! I definitely find that annoying too! I was at a Slayer concert and a former friend of mine kept doing that at the end of each song. I told him that's not how you throw the horns and he said why does it matter? That and the tool said he should have bought the Testament shirt I was wearing because it looked cool. He didn't even know who Testament was!
Thunder God , it hurts my entire being too. It could be worse but, I feel like the worst part about it is those people really like that music though. It’s as if they don’t know good things exist. It gives me the feels.
Lots of people have asked me these questions: " Are you Emo, or Goth? " " I can't understand what they are saying! " " You will get over it soon. " " That isn't real Music, listen to Sam Smith" And I hate it when someone randomly, touches my hair......or my vest..... A guy actually pulled my vest for no reason! I didn't even know who he was!
@@SuperBoomshack here's a funny story I was wearing my Tomb Mold T-shirt one Wednesday and a friend of mine was wondering what it said and I told him then he asked me if there is screaming in their music and I told him not much
I find it annoying bcz as a metalhead girl, some people expect me to listen to bring me the horizon for example. Thats annoying af.Cuz i do listen to real and brutal metal.
"I listen to a bit of everything." "Metal?" "Ew no it's just noise!" "Punk?" "What's punk?" "Classical?" "No that's boring." "Ska?" "Huh?" "Country?" "Does Taylor Swift count?" "Do you mean you listen to mainstream 'chart' music?" "Uh... I like that song by Kings of Leon." "I might actually hate you."
I've been and am a huge metal head played In choirs from entering school to leaving college and love all kinds of music. I'm a huge pop lover but not the radio its soooooo annoying.
@@danutdracula I agree there's great music in every genre (and sometimes defying every genre). I find it frustrating that people think the radio covers even a sliver of what's out there.
One of the biggest annoyances is the isolation we are put through. In highschool it's the worst. In a year I'll be in College. At least it will be better.
"All metal is satanic" "Screaming shouldn't be in music" "Christians can't like it, it's satanic" "I bet you can't understand any of the lyrics" No, yes it should when appropriate, I've been a Christian for 15 years and I go to church regularly, depending on the band I can understand 90 - 40% of the lyrics unless it's BM. Gets old real quick..
Litterly today i was wearing a revocation shirt and my teacher walks over and tries to read it. i kid you not he was looking at my shirt without saying anything to me for like 1 minute. He then finally askes if it was a screemo band. I said "well no they are a technical death metal band but close enough" he than says if i want listen to some hard core shit i should check out "Norwegian screemo metal" i said i think you are talking about black metal. He then said no its called Norwegian screemo metal, bands like the misfits and slayer. Kill me
A "nazi" nowadays is just a native European who is somewhat proud of their heritage. It has nothing to do with Hitler, the Third Reich or the holocaust. Did Hitler do some things that was stupid? Yes. So just because Hitler did some questionable things does not mean we should not be allowed to use our symbols, be proud of our ways and support our traditional religion.
@@Templarofsteel88 It is because Viking symbols are Germanic symbols so the SS used them. Now anyone who uses them is a "nazi" and anyone European proud of their European traditions is a "nazi."
I find it annoying that people tell me that "you don't look like a metalhead" because I don't normally wear band t-shirts and dress in that type of apparel, but I listen to the music.
Smartguy561 I was the same way for a while! I’ve been listening to metal since high school. I’m 29 and just recently started wearing band shirts as welll as a battle vest.
@@ZJMusic1990 I'm glad someone understands where I'm coming from. I'm 43 and I've never dressed that way. I love metal music (I've been listening to it for roughly the last 30 years or so. I graduated in 1994) I'm just not interested in dressing that way, although my friends dressing that way doesn't bother me. The most important thing to being a metal head is that a person actually likes and listens to metal music. I may get some shirts of my favorite bands if I can find them at a reasonable price, but I probably won't wear them much so that I don't mess them up.
I get that at work and I'm like why just because I have short hair and glasses catch me in a revocation pit I'm definitely the type of person to listen to this.
Man I introduce myself to my teachers as such: I am a metalhead, a guitar player, and I like BBQ. That'll be all. It's super funny tho bc occasionally you get a teacher who you can feel them judging you and you can hear their head trying to reconcile my respectful attitude and good grades to metalhead
This is going to be me soon. I started high school so I'm hiding my metalhead side from teachers but I'll stop doing that once they get a good image of me and actually get convinced I'm respectful and a good student (which has happened already). I'm sure some will be surprised cuz they're going to be thinking that all metalheads/alternative people/anything of this sort are like yknow agressive
You know what's annoying about being a metalhead? Elitism from fellow metal heads regarding their favorite bands. I know several metalheads have experienced something like that.
i’m a sophomore in high school and i can say the things that bug me are when people ask if I’m satanic when i’m wearing a band shirt and also when kids wear metallica or slayer and don’t know shit about them
I don't know how useful this is, but I would recommend a braid over a ponytail. I hate having mine up in a pony. I can never get comfortable and it feels like something is pulling my head. Braids/ plaits are significantly more comfortable as long as you don't tie your hair like a pony first. Normally I just let it loose but I recently started doing it when I walk for longs distances and I just wanted to share.
The most hilarious part about the discrimination against men with long hair is that throughout MOST OF history, men wore their hair long. The universal trend of short hair on men was actually established in the early 1800s/Victorian age. Ask any history buff(like myself) or look up old/ancient portraits and works of art featuring men from most old/ancient cultures and you will find that most men wore their hair shoulder length or longer.
But Dying Fetus shirts can disturb people. You can wear them at festivals and concerts but don't wear them if there's a dress code. It's really inappropriate.
i hate it when people assume i only listen to metal i mean its sort of is but i really like 80s pop and classical music and its so annoying WHENEVER heavy metal or rock gets brung up in school everyone stares at me i is probably a petty thing to get annoyed at but it just makes me uncomfortable plus people constaly taking the piss out my hair saying to cut it short. great vid man really enjoyed it.
I related to this video real hard. My main one is when my friends and family just can’t believe I enjoy metal because “I’m a girl and way too nice to like that sort of stuff”.
I've never really gotten the "do you worship satan" and whenever I've gotten that it's usually friends just being sarcastic for laughs to which I return their sarcasm by sticking my tongue out and making my fingers horns keeping the joke going
1. Everything (I am easily agitated and quick to anger) 2. Expensive :( 3. ??????????????? 4. People think you're Emo/Alt/Goth 5. Hard to find other metalheads My personal five.
I definitely agree I've had it happen to me people are so judgemental that is exactly why I pretty much stay to myself I only have five actually friends I hang out with.
I really enjoyed this video because I relate to what your points/views were. Personally I really can't stand it either when people just walk up to me and touch me. Its rude and some people get really really mad. Because I wear things with spikes and i have colored hair, people find that as a pass to come up and touch me and that sends me into orbit. I don't like being touched by a stranger especially when they haven't asked if its okay. If you ask me "Hey can I touch your (hair, bracelet, etc.)" I'll most likely tell you yes because you had common sense to ASK before you started touching me. Once in Target a woman came up behind me and grabbed a handful of my hair and it scared me and I almost slapped her because it was very alarming and I didn't know her. Just use common sense. It takes you places.
5. "Metal is only for white men" 4. "Do you worship Satan?" 3. "You'll grow out of it" 2. "Metal is just screaming/Cookie Monster voice" 1. "You're a metalhead, so you're probably depressed/having suicidal thoughts/violent/have anger issues" these are my top 5 annoyances
Me when I listen to country - "Wow. Racist." Me when I listen to punk - "Misfits? Nazi Devil worshiper." Me when I listen to metal - "Kiss is true heavy metal."
In the mid 90s I was chased through the shopping area of a city near me by a middle-aged woman, all the while she was shouting about how I was going to hell for worshipping Satan! All this because I was wearing all black with a Marilyn Manson t-shirt!
literally while I was watching this video my dad came in my room and started to mention that my music was garbage lol and that this person in this vid is wearing an ugly t shirt. R u kidding me?
I always gravitated more towards punk and in my younger days, I got non-stop annoying attention like: people taking pictures, touching my hair, trying to pick studs off my jacket, talking to me about Green Day or some crappy band their kids like. I grew so tired of it that aside from a band shirt, jeans, denim, or leather, I won't bother, let some teenage cosplayer liven up their landscape.
