that sounds more like your average student club than a metal show!

i dont spend any time getting ready or plan it as a night out.. i just want to turn up, watch some bands, chill out and have a chat to people.

metal nights (smaller death/trash night in particular) often seem alcohol based, rowdy... and people dont want to chat, they'd rather stand around looking 'metal'...

I was describing myself when I was a metal fan

metal fans round here tend to be older... or maybe thats because the venue is 18+.. eithey way they're often sweaty and smelly and drunk. :p

That doesn't really justify stereotyping all metal heads, even if you are talking about yourself. Most of the people I see at shows are easily over 20. I myself am only 16 but I do not have an acne covered face.

Or a sense of humour. ;)

Forgive me for not telling that was a joke.

Women don't belong in metal; or hardcore, onstage or otherwise. The thing that bugs me most about hardcore shows are the girls. They just stand around in their dotted shirts and spandex tights, taking up space that should be used for the pit. As far as onstage is concerned, they just don't belong there. Metal (and likewise, hardcore) are first and foremost about machismo ("a strong or exaggerated sense of manliness" [Dictionary.com]). Give it up, ladies.

At first it was comical; now it's aggravating.

You are a wanker.

Have you ever listened to any female musicians? I suppose you think we shouldn't vote, wear trousers, drive, go to school, drink...

Actually, I enjoy female musicians immensely. Tilly and the Wall, Camera Obscura, Metric, Blonde Redhead, Belle & Sebastian, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Deerhoof, Stars; these are a few of my favorite bands. :)
