I've been a metalhead for 22 years and none of my closest friends are metalheads. Friendship is a lot more complex than just sharing a common taste in music.
I think metalheads spotting other metalheads is like the equivalent of two dogs meeting each other and going " you are dog? I am dog to!"
True fact: We are Metalheads and listen to the same music but that doesn't mean we have the same opinions, the same life views, the same life goals, the same whatever. Humans are strange creatures so we have to learn to get along well with each other.
I met some dude in college who was really into death and viking metal, I'm into thrash, but we got along great! However, I have met two other metalheads older than me, they were jerks.
Having the same interests and hobbies is a plus but not the core of a great friendship. Your hobbies and interests dont define you, your choices define you.
A couple days ago I found out one of my coworkers was a massive metal head,it was a slow day at my job and it was late at night so me and him talked about grindcore,darkthrone,mesarthim,author and punisher,repulsion,power trip etc for 40 or so minutes one of my other coworkers (who isn’t a metal head at all) also got involved in the conversation it was really cool to find “one of my own people “ at work
I'm too black metal for having friends. Having friends isn't black metal lol
I'm scared to make friends who aren't into metal, because I know that they'll play their music around me and except me to like it, but then when I play my music around them (with zero expectations) they'll say I'm weird🤷♀️
I wish I had metal friends. My friends think bon Jovi and linkin park is as heavy as it gets.
The best advice I’d give is do it naturally don’t force it, I was at college in my battle jacket a few years back and some other metalhead approaches me speaking about my jacket, the next day he brought his to college and we started listening to metal and eating chicken and drinking beers we became brothers ever since even to this day. Also along the way we ran into another guy getting into heavy metal and he eventually started a jacket and started hanging with us then from there we met another metalhead that we go with to gigs, we’re all from separate towns and meet up whenever we’re all free too. I never tried to make a friend group full of metalheads but over time it built up naturally and I’d recommend everyone doing it this way! Also remember being the lone wolf sometimes is just as badass 🤘🏻
One time at a convention I was wearing my battle jacket and this old 70yo grandma woman walked up to me and said "Heeell yeeaaa pan-a-fuckin-tera! 🤘"
Something that sucks with "non-metal" friends is that when you're drinking or having a party you listen to their music the whole time (don't get me wrong, i listen and enjoy all kinds of music).
The worst
34 years of being a metal head and no slowing down, it's a personal thing that I don't push on others. So, I have a mix of friends from all walks of life, ethnicities, sexual orientation, and they all like diverse types of music. That being said. I think there's an underlying link when you meet someone else that's into metal, an unspoken acknowledgement that you get it, that you understand it, and that you love it.
As a single female metalhead it's difficult. Most of my metalhead friends are internet friends, it's so hard to make metalhead friends in the wild. I usually go to shows alone and it's hard to talk people at shows and most people are already grouped together.
When I was a freshman in high school, I met a group of metalheads but we didn’t really have any other common interests aside from that. Eventually I switched schools and in my sophomore year met another metalhead. This time we had a lot of the same interests and we’re still great friends to this day
This is something I've been thinking about a lot in terms of dating. I like to have some common ground musically with people, but I don't like placing a lot of emphasis on it. The most I really want as far as music taste goes is just someone I can maintain a conversation with about the stuff and isn't the kind to be dismissive of that music I'm into because it's either unconventional, underground, or older.
It would just be nice to have someone to hang out and listen to metal and go to concerts with
You totally nailed it at
I've been a metalhead for 13 years, and I've met many other metalheads that are douche bags.. they'll see my battle vest, and patches, or I'll be wearing a Archspire, Mastodon shirt etc.. and they'll see it, and they'll be wearing a Cryptopsy shirt or something, and they'll still ignore or pass by me. So I guess it was meant for me to be a metalhead to myself.. normies don't like me, and people who share the same thing don't like me.. I love talking about many things. Nature, mythology, science, history, Pokemon (I've been a Pokemon fan for 19 years), Horror, Cemeteries etc...
