I was into metal when I was a teenager, but I was also into bright colours.SilentJay22 said:I don't like to think it's that bad, because I don't treat people who listen to music I don't like badly or unfairly. But then again, people can be people. The only thing I really have to go on is the Heavy Metal in Baghdad documentary.Guffe said:Yeah, and you'd wonder since I live in Finland which is kind of "home of metal" and that shit (discrimination) excists here also.SilentJay22 said:I understand that. People where I live are more used to metal, and a lot of people even listen to it as well, but there are still those people that can't understand how I listen to it. I also get plenty of "You do!? You don't look like you listen to it."Guffe said:Yeah, but mainly the really HC metal fans which wear all dark leather with long black hair, piercings etc.SilentJay22 said:Metal heads? As in people who listen to metal?
I mean I look like a pretty young nice guy but when I tell people I listen to metal they get all kidns of ideas about me and immediatelly take a little distance.
I don't want to know how people get treated in areas were metal is more uncommon.
So when I walked up to my friends with their peircings and dyed hair and black clothes in my pink clothes, people looked horrified, like "They're going to KILL that girl!"
