Are metal heads just hipsters in black?

Makes sense.
Also, I think aging metal heads are the saddest individuals I have ever seen in my life, specially brazilian ones.
There is something really pathetic in seeying a big belly, grey headed individual with a Iron Maiden t-shirt.

Wow, really?  So someone who liked music 25-30 years ago and still likes the same music today is pathetic?  Because in my eyes, someone who jumps from trend to trend is pathetic.

No, no, no. They could listen to whatever. I am just saying that everytime I see a 50 years old person with a old Iron Maiden t-shirt or a Def Leppard bandana or something, it is pretty weird. Like, this kind of display of afection for a band should be a teenager thing.

I mean: walking on the street in a week day with such clothing. It is just how I feel anyways.

Jumping from trend to trend is also weird, I give you that. 

Metal Head here in Brazil is not a person that like heavy metal and live a normal life aside of that, but one that embrace the whole lifestyle really.

So  I guess I misunderstood. For now, please blame it on a culture shock till another brazilian comes and claims that I am wrong.

And, if I offended you, I apologize.
