Metal hair

[pmlewis99]

Hey guys wasn't sure where to put this so hope its Ok here. Basically I was at this concert the other day and this guy with hair down to his waist said I was a poser coz I didn't have long hair. I told the guy I thought that metal was more about the way u think and feel and ur attitude rather than how u look. I think if u know the bands history/songs/love them then that's what's really important about loving metal and not the way that u style your hair. Just wondered what ur thoughts were?

It seems to me that you would only have to be a poser five or six years to get hair down to your waist. My recommendation would be don't take fashion advice from assholes, and try not to care if you're metal or not.

Metal is music, not image. Some of the most metal people I know look like regular, every day dudes and have office jobs. To quote Fenriz of Darkthrone, "the first rule of posers is to put the music 2nd".

To quote Fenriz of Darkthrone, "the first rule of posers is to put the music 2nd".[/quote'] This is the best response you could get. When I was in school people asked me how come I don't dye my hair black since I listen to metal, I didn't even bother to answer. Some people just try to bring you down because of their own insecurities.

Bro I wouldn't listen to anyone like that, metal has nothing to do with image. Who cares if you have hair, bald, black, white, gay, straight, or even a unicorn. As long as the music means something to you and you enjoy it the tell everyone else to piss off. Take it from me, I listen to all types of metal and if you saw me you would never think that. Just be yourself and let the metal do the rest.

( This lovely image came up in a recent "Nightmare heavy metal horse costume images" google search, and seemed relevant here, so enjoy!)

Don't lie, Gorbo, you've had that poster up on the back of your bedroom door since the early 90s.

I am so metal my hair is actually threads of titanium.  When I cry it is tears of mercury (and I only cry standing in the rain listening to V Rock).

Well ye got me cuve'd I only got me'al inside me 'ed.

Dumbest shit I ever heard. I've definitely encountered people of that similar thought though. I had very long hair for years, below my ass at the time I cut it, but have kept it quite short for about 4 or 5 years now. Pair that with the fact I have only a couple tattoos and hang with a mostly non-metal crowd, its not unusual for strangers to question my legitimacy. It usually just makes me laugh though, I dont even bother to correct them, judgmental assholes like that are the exact thing our scene was built to stand against, they'll get weeded out eventually.
