Women are known to go crazy for The Fall, Beefheart and Tago Mago though. Definitely not hoe-scaring music. Put on a 12 minute MES screech and the panties will drop.

The one time I actually listened to a metal album was because a girl made me to. It was some really melancholy Scandinavian stuff and I didn't hate it. It was fine.

I've heard that women are, you know, people and are individuals and like different stuff but that's probably just feminist propaganda. Damn feminists, forcing me to cringe hard af reading this thread.

Bro the only women who like metal are crazy bitches who track down your forum accounts and incoherently smear you on said forums.

I hate when that happens.

Women have tastes in music that are as eclectic and highly individualized as men's. Based on a considerable sample of those young women who are arguably the likeliest to be open-minded and discriminating when it comes to music (college students), I have, however, seen certain patterns emerge: for example, women, as a rule, very rarely enjoy the dissonant, abrasive and repetitive stylings of the likes of The Fall and Captain Beefheart. There are exceptions, obviously. I know IRL a woman who loves The Fall and another who used to be obsessed with Primus. But I would not count on them if music plays a central role in your social identity, including in courtship of women, and you want to score.

Live shows are different, I think, cause they're social events.

That was my first thought, also.

Debbie Harry, the hard rock and metal pioneer
Lol

If most of those people not listening to The Fall heard The Fall they wouldn't like them.
