Women in Metal (hardcore, favorite bands, shows, quote, bands)

Sound Devastation · 10-11-2006, 01:49 PM

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.

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.
