...or you could like what you like and not engage the fandom? I get you, metalheads are more obsessive than punks about what is/isn't which wave of subgenre something is, but they're also really easy to not ever talk to whilst listening to metal.

[(Anonymous)]

My tolerance for loud music (in the sense of being harsh or discordant or deliberately noisy in some way) is fairly minimal, so I can't really comment. However, as a fellow lyrics person-- *solidarity fistbump*

[(Anonymous)]

I definitely think you should get into it on your own! I'm a very introverted metalhead, live shows are so far outside my comfort zone that it really limits my involvement in the scene in general... but I'm also a lyrics guy who knows nothing about music beyond 'makes brain go brr!', and I mostly listen to the really old stuff because I'll never vibe with anyone else's lyrics as hard as I do with Judas Priest. (but I do really like all the symphonic metal I've heard)

Some guys in the scene are always going to be gatekeep-y, but you don't have to hang with them to like what you like. The punk-metal rivalry is dead, embrace listening to bands from both based on what speaks to YOU!

[philstar22]

I avoid the metal fandom because I mostly only like symphonic and power metal.

*shrug*
There are no 'wrong bands' - just like what you like, and fuck anybody who wants to tell how they're not 'real metal' or how it's 'wrong' or whatever. I mean - it's music. Some people really dig polka, you know? So - go for it!

[(Anonymous)]

This is kinda how I feel about like, all music. I just listen to shit that sounds nice to me, trying to interact with people who are Into A Genre is universally unpleasant ime.

[(Anonymous)]

IME, most old-school metalheads are passionate about their love of music in general but are way more laid back about the finer details of sub-genre gate-keeping than some of the younger fans, where it feels like fandom gate-keeping is a replacement for their entire personality. If you already listen to punk and hardcore you've heard it all before and they're often worse.

BUT the good news is that there is no reason to participate in any form of public performance of any fandom whatsoever! Listen to what you want, enjoy what you like, check out people's lists in forums and let the YT algo or Spotify throw new songs at you and rock your heart out. Every band wants to be appreciated and most bands have diehard fans.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know that many metalheads 'cause it's not a genre a music I really like, but the ones I do know are pretty nice.

[(Anonymous)]

It's fine to be the person in the crowd who likes all the "wrong" music - it may seem like a bad thing, but if genuine, it's fine. People will soon realize that's just your taste and, unless they're assholes not worth talking to, come to accept it IMO.

Metal has never been a genre I like even though as a teen most of my friends did (oh, early 00s MMO crowd... ) and would share their best recs yet it never clicked. One of them (the sweetest soft-spoken long-haired dude you'd ever meet) spent entire days listening to new album releases and we were surprised at each other's tastes. Often I would go "ew, don't like this part" and they would explain what it was called. Eventually I came across metal songs I liked but we all had to agree I just wasn't into metal generally lol. Then I started talking to the J-rock crowd which is also full of metal fans, again never clicked. But being able to explain what you like and what you don't and let yourself known goes a long way - so, you like lyrics. That's who you are and people who can't accept that probably aren't worth talking to IMO.

I think that was pretty common until recently, and not everyone still realizes that "gypsy" is both a slur AND not a reference to a totally fictional group of people. Anyone who'd get mad at you because you didn't know any better as a kid isn't someone whose opinion is worth much, IMO.

[greghousesgf]

when my niece was a really little kid she made the same mistake only with Native Americans, not Romani people (not the costume part but thinking they were fictional like fairies or mermaids)

[(Anonymous)]

You were a kid and meant no harm, and honestly, there were Roma inspired characters (or maybe stereotypes in some cases) in a lot of stories. I'm willing to wager you weren't the only one who dressed up like one back then. As long as you're now aware of what the word means and who the Romani are, I think you're doing just fine.

That was such a bonkers show. I actually liked it right up until the True King Returns element and even then I still kind of did.
