    As a metal head, it was always fun seeing other bars and clubs in the middle of the night having police and fights outside, while our dainty little metal bar only had that when those people came to our place.

    Some people even came for the lack of fights, even if they didn’t like the music. Always a brotherly atmosphere welcoming to all strangers.

    There’s the old joke that metalheads are nice people pretending to be mean, while hippies are mean people pretending to be nice.

      I don’t know about hippies, but this comic is pretty accurate for Metalheads (except many times we also take stupid grimace fotos xD):

          Haha, it’s been a while since I last saw that! Thanks for bringing it back 🤘🏻

          And since I’ve been learning Swedish lately, I can now almost understand that Norwegian. Here’s my guess:

          Ikke alle liker at det går så fort hos oss.

          which means “Not all like that it’s going so fast with us.”, so it would make sense for the video xD

          Can you confirm or correct that?

            Correct. Swedish and Norwegian are similar enough that Norwegian dialects alone are more different.

    A metal head is the kind of guy I want watching my back. They aren’t afraid to get knocked around a little, usually smarter than most, and they have the biggest hearts.

    Of course, there are exceptions, but that’s the general vibe I get from the metal heads I’ve met.

      Metalhead here. I’ve found that once you ignore the elitists (which every fandom has), it’s a pretty welcoming crowd consisting of generally chill people who aren’t afraid to stand out.
