I forget where I heard this, but [they] said even though that Heavy Metal is music for outsiders, anti-socials,
et al Metal fans dress alike. It's basically non-conformity through conformity. They wear concert or band shirts and jeans, some might wear chains on their wallets and maybe spike wrist bands, a few might have a tattoo of their favorite band or maybe not their atf band but a tattoo they think is cool it evokes the gods of metal like something along the lines of runes or maybe Thor's hammer, or maybe Dio or another Heavy Metal singer.
for example:
Now if that doesn't scream individuality and anti-social subcultures, then I don't know what does. Because I bet you dollars to donuts a non Heavy Metal fan wouldn't be caught dead with that tattoo. That tattoo just scream "I'm Metal as hell and I am not going to take it any more."or it can say "In your face society, I'm a Metal fan, and what are you going to do about it?!" The possibilities of Metal fandom expressions is countless.
