Description
I know i'm tip-toeing sort of avoiding doing more genre specific metalheads, but i'm working on it, scout's honor.---------------------------------------------------------------
After a few years as a metalhead, and many, many metal shows attended, i couldn't help but to notice the diferent archetypes and demographics in the metalhead culture that i kept coming across.
And since i never saw any kind of descriptive charts that accurately portrayed the metal subculture i so dearly know and love, i decided to do it myself!
So, based on people that i know, people that i merely saw, often or not that often, and on blunt personal experience, i began thinking up of a few, and will sure remember a few more as i go along.
Also remember this is not meant to offend. It's all harmless satire, more often than not
So yes. Hope you enjoy Luso's Handy Guide to Metalheads

Hey look, found myself... mostly in shirt bc of a few nasty scars. And being drunk is just an excuse for behaving like that... but still!

This is so similar to Chuck Dillon's blog and book from 2009: blog30x30.blogspot.com/2009/06β¦

yes, that was one of my inspirations for making this series

The format reminds me of Chuck Dillon's riotous "Which Art Student Are You?" book published in 2009: blog30x30.blogspot.com/2009/06β¦

I fucking love these pictures. I play in a metal band in California, and a psychobilly jazz-punk band that verges on metal, so I encounter these people (not to claim not to be any of them, of course) on a regular basis. They're so aptly satirical. I commend thee on not only thy outlook on metalheads, but also your disposition away from douchebaggery and hipsterdom. Once more, fucking great job on these.

I met my first one at a 5FDP concert not to long ago, it was kinda funny yet annoying. I was having a beer with some new friends I had made in line and he came stumbling over to us, first thing he does is he drops one of his beers on to my shoes, then proceeds to hug me and apologize. After hugging me he starts to pat me on the head (fairly hard) normally I wouldn't care but I had spent at least 15 minutes getting my hair into a mohawk, so I was a little ticked off.
I felt so bad for his girlfriend, about 10 minutes before the main band was supposed to come out on stage me and my friends went outside for a smoke and so did the drunk dude. He was so drunk that security asked him and his gf to leave, I could see the disappointment in her eyes as she walked away.
Sorry for the long winded story, I just felt that it should be shared.
P.S. I think these are very awesome

Any chance we could get to see stoner metal-heads soon?

This due seems ok so if I ever see one of these I know what to most likely expect. As long as he doesn't puke on me, grope me or hit on me(especially if I'm not single). No problem. Just one problem though: I can't drink yet

you forgot that he is everytime in a mosh pit
π: 0 β©: 1

This is the guy who stands right behind you and screams directly into your ear the whole time.
Even when nothing is happening.

Man I don't seem to fit very well into any of these. Will you be doing a Doom Metal-themed guy? Also sorry if I'm kinda spamming with these comments, but this is a really wonderful gallery.
π: 0 β©: 1
i might, but i'd have to do some research first, since i've never really been to that many doom concerts
and thanks!

Doom metal fans are largely stoners with long hair, big beards, and trying to copy '70s styles like flair shirts and bellbottoms. They think that all rock in the '70s sounded like Sabbath and that metal never should have gone past '73. If not wearing an Electric Wizard t-shirt, it's probably something with a black-humor marijuana joke. Or something involving the '70s. Usually, they smell like weed and their eyes are blank. In other words, they smell like the '70s. With a tad bit of despair. Might wear black metal make-up oddly enough, but only so much to show how bleak and meaningless your life is. Atheism is a must unless Satan is an atheist.
Probably also the most open minded of all metalheads in terms of subgenres they like, also probably because doom is pretty damn boring after a while.
Hope that helped a little. Contributed a lot myself.

Not to be an asshole, but will there be more additions to this series in the future?

OK I admit I fit this stereotype somewhat at least at the open air metal fest I attend every year. Slightly less drunk at regular shows.

This is the truest truth I've ever read.

Haha These guys make up like 25-60% of the crowd at every show I go to

Theres another - more disgusting version of this - shirtless, drunk, fat, sweaty, metalhead 
π: 0 β©: 0
Hahaha I've seen a lot of them really

I know this kind of guy, seen in every concert. Annoying !
π: 0 β©: 0
That guy.
Everywhere. Metal, hard rock, punk scene, during fest, live, street music thing during some events... always that guy. I even see him in mid-days. Beer packs under his arm. Always
Just like peruvians during summer events XD

Reminds me of one guy I saw at a gig few weeks before xD
But he was creative! He made a cross out of sausages and stood in
the front raising beer in one hand and sausage-cross in the other, blessing everyone.

Like the Pantera shirt guy, this guy is ALWAYS THERE!
π: 0 β©: 0
Yea, we get people like this a lot, they don't fit the appearance description much, some of them wear those wool winter caps, some of them have long hair, but all in all, they fit in this.
Also, before the gig starts, when there is music played on the radio, he keeps moshing to it alone.

holy shit i forgot that radio music detail, just like here hahaha
