Heavy Metal Fans

Heavy Metal fans have developed a subculture of their own and most of them completely follow the symbols , styles and dressing style of heavy metal bands. For example , long & vibrant hair . These subcultures are now commonly known as “ Headbangers” & “ Metal Heads “. Fans affirm their membership in the subculture or scene by attending metal concerts, buying albums, in some cases growing their hair, and most recently, by contributing to metal websites.

AUDIENCE

It could be said that due to the emergence of an intense , exclusionary strong masculine subculture heavy metal has outlasted many other rock genres. Though the metal fans are mostly young , white , male and blue-collars , however this genre is gaining popularity in other regions as well. Identification with the subculture is strengthened not only by the shared experience of concert-going and shared elements of fashion, but also by contributing to metal magazines and, more recently, websites

LYRICS & TUNE

For certain artists and bands, visual imagery plays a large role in heavy metal. In addition to its sound and lyrics, a heavy metal band's "image" is expressed in album sleeve art, logos, stage sets, clothing, and music videos. Death is a predominant theme in heavy metal, routinely featuring in the lyrics of bands as otherwise widely different as Slayer and W.A.S.P. The more extreme forms of death metal and grind core tend to have aggressive and gory lyrics.King Diamond, known for writing conceptual lyrics about horror storiesDeriving from the genre's roots in blues music, sex is another important topic—a thread running from Led Zeppelin's suggestive lyrics to the more explicit references of glam and nu metal bands. Romantic tragedy is a standard theme of gothic and doom metal, as well as of nu metal, where teenage angst is another central topic. Heavy metal songs often feature outlandish, fantasy-inspired lyrics, lending them an escapist quality. Iron Maiden's songs, for instance, are frequently inspired by mythology, fiction, and poetry, as in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", based on the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem. The thematic content of heavy metal has long been a target of criticism

Such include generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks.
