Metal in American high schools

Austrian Metalhead · 07-27-2009, 04:26 PM

Hi, I'm new here

I'm from austria and I'm going to attend an american high school for one semester. The thing is I'm a Metalhead (very long black hair, always wearing black/bandshirts...).
My question is: are there many metalheads in american high schools, or will I even have problems with my "look"?
by the way, i'll go to Kansas...

Another question: are there any good dark ambient black metal bands in america??

American high school will suck no matter what you look like/who you listen to/where youre going. You'll find plenty of kids who like the same shit you do but you'll also find plenty of assholes to deal with as well.

What is it with American high schools and the peer pressure that goes on in there?
Jocks, nerds, geeks etc. Even the movies ridicule these individuals mercilessly.
No wonder the kids go on wild, random gun rampages.

I don't know about everywhere else but groups at my school weren't exactly clear cut like that, if you didn't have similar interests you simply didn't hang out. The amount of apathy in high school youth is sometimes mistaken for hostility I think.

No to both questions. America decided to sell all of it's metal to Norway so you won't find any metal bands of any variety here. I hope you enjoy country.

I hope you find people to fit in with. Truthfully, in my school there weren't many metalheads. But there was always someone to find with your taste in music.

as soon as you walk in, and look down the hall you will see a metal head that looks just like you. Trust me. The chances of seeing one is at least 43%.
