Are metal heads just hipsters in black?

[Metrium]

Lol! I love metal. To be honest I pretty much listen to only metal in my free time. I do believe that commercial crappy pop music that they are doing today is total garbage, but I can listen to it and at times even enjoy it when I'm going out at clubs or where ever they are playing it. I do have have a few leather wristbands and a leather coat and alot of black shirt. But I don't always wear black, have long hair. So I'm not sure If I'm true die hard 100% metal head, but I'm pretty close. I'm a moderated metal head lol.

That being said, your comparison is so funny, I've never looked at things this way but I think you are kinda right. We do hate commercial pop music. But we don't completly hate what's popular tho. We hate seeing a band selling out, changing their sound for a big corporation to try to get a wider appeal. I believe this is what happened to bands like Inflame or Within Temptation, I can stand it and still think they are really good but alot hate them now cause they ''sold out'' but they never became really popular (by that I mean Miley Cirus or One Direction popular). Meanwhile bands like Metalica are extremely well known and popular but no one feel like they changed their sound and sold out to get to this point, so metal heads love them. They are extremely talented and metal heads can give credits where it's due despite it being popular, same thing can be said for older bands like Ac/DC or Led Zeppelin. So the popularity is'nt really what motivates what metalheads think, it's more the perception of selling out or the feeling of a band/singer being just untalented (you know... those that have their voice changed with a computer, does'nt play a instrument or have dozens of ppl working for them to write their music for them etc...)
