    I have a "small" body compared to metalheads and I have long hair. I always have the problem of thinking that it makes me look feminine. What should I do?

    Wear tight-fitting outfits. Long hair is a very metal-head look but if you don't like it, try covering it up with hats.

    How do I wear metal-head themed clothing without breaking my school's dress code?

    That depends on your schools' dress code. If your school is very religious, then avoid images that may be seen as sacrilegious (demons, upside-down crosses, pentagrams, etc.) Other than that, most metal fashion should conform to most school dress-codes. If they don't want it to be too revealing, wear shirts with smaller collars or longer sleeves, or wear longer pants (or longer skirts.) Other than that, following the dress-code should be easy.

    Does it make me a poser if I wear a color shirt?

    Absolutely not! There are many colourful metal shirts out there. The most common metal shirt colours other than black are white, blue and red, but sometimes you will find tie-dye shirts as well.

    There isn't anything wrong with liking "mainstream" metal bands like Korn or Slipknot - it was gateway metal for some people.

    There is nothing wrong with liking mainstream metal bands, ignore elitists who tell you otherwise. I mostly listen to lesser-known thrash and death metal, but Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are still some of my favourite bands.

    Can one look metal with short hair?

    Absolutely! You don't need to conform to every aspect of the style to stay metal. There are plenty of metal musicians with short hair, or who are bald. Kerry King, Graham Bonnet, and Rob Halford are just a few examples.
  • Question
    Can you be a metal head if you like Slipknot?

    Community Answer
    Of course! Slipknot are a nu metal band, if you like them, you're a metal-head in some capacity. You don't have to conform to what people say is or is not metal, ignore elitists who tell you otherwise.

    Am I an elitist if I only listen to war metal bands such as Blasphemy, Conqueror, or Black Witchery?

    Not unless you go around saying that war metal is better than everything else and other bands aren't true metal.
