Description
By popular demand, here it is!Now, this one, moreso than any other, I had to make by means of deduction, since Power Metal fans are very, very few around these parts, but hopefully this is accurate enough.
Enjoy!
also im getting kinda sick of pasting this footer in here everyime i do these, them words just kinda piss me off now haha
oh well
So, after a few years passing, and many, many metal shows attended, i couldn't help but to notice the diferent archetypes and demographics in the metalhead culture that i kept coming across.
And since i never saw any kind of descriptive charts that accurately portrayed the metal subculture i so dearly know and love, i decided to do it myself!
So, based on people that i know, people that i merely saw, often or not that often, and on blunt personal experience, i began scribbling out a few, and constructed many more in my mind, which is to say, that there will be quite a few before i'm done.
Also remember this is not meant to offend. It's all harmless satire, more often than not
So yes. Hope you enjoy Luso's Handy Guide to Metalheads

Power Metal is my favorite type and this is about 50/50 accurate inaccurate for me.

This is me and my favorite band is Dragonforce.

For me its a tie between them, Blind Guardian and Rhapsody of Fire.

Having checked them all out, I suppose Iβm a chimera of girl-power- and viking metaller XD

This hits a little too close to home. To highlight the fact I used this picture for my profile. I do not mean to steal your picture or anything, but it just fit me so well.

Tbh even though I'm the Folk/Viking metaller I'm heavily attracted to these type of guys lol

And are usually the hottest metal-heads around

This is a bit like a male version of me, only I wish I had a sword. Though I'm also a bit of a cross breed of others. My taste in metal is all other the place; from Iron Maiden to Wintersun to Exodus to Blind Guardian to Nightwish to Amon Amarth.

Let's see...
Fabulous hair? Check.
Tolkien Geek? Super Check.Β
Own swords? Own a collection of them so check.
Best Bud with a Folk Metaller? Check.Β
Check. Check. Chek.

I guess I'm a Power Metaller then... xD

I say it's very accurate. I do almost all those things and i will have a sword one day xD. I only wish my hair was more glorious (althought i care about it a lot, i think i will end bald, as my father is bald...)Β xD

They have better hair care than their girlfriend or sister

I wish I was this guy, but my school rules on haircuts are too strict and I'm too young, so I'm maybe a little crossbreed between this for my musical taste and because I'm really into fantasy andΒ a young metalhead for my appearance, sadly. Oh well, I can still grow, I'm just 15

tip: play "something for the ages" by hammerfall while reading this, it fits this guy perfectly

So that Pantera loser was your least favorite of these archetypes. Β Is this your favorite?

I'd say this guy looks like Dave Mustaine a little, but Dave's a speed metal guy.

I'm something in between Power Metaller and Folk/Viking Metaller. A geek, but more into sci-fi than into fantasy, and into future rather than into history. I actually do have a sword, a katana, and I used to train martial art with it, but I also have a beard, mjolnir pendant and a drinking horn (and a mead) and I have more of a Viking Metaller figure.
Have you met any interesting "crossbreed" metalheads?
π: 0 β©: 1
most metalheads are crossbreeds, actually, from my experience, lol
well, maybe not most, but a very healthy percentage i'd say. i'm definitely one

Hey, how'd you get the picture of me as reference?!
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow! 90% Accurate for my fiancee! 
π: 0 β©: 0
Pretty much me but with long hair got the color right though!
π: 0 β©: 0
wow, this is quite accurate! I like several styles, but Power Metal is probably my fave. Pretty much every single one of the things you listed is true of me!

Me right on down to a tee, good sir. I've got this as my computer's background, because Power Metal.
Keep it up!

This is mostly me, except my hair is dark brown.
I almost did a book report on the Silmarilion, but then it turned out to be extra credit, so being the lazy ass I am, I didn't do it.
And yes, I totally want to own a sword. In addition, I wish to play Dagorhir. (Kinda like LARP, but there's no magic. Only steel. By which I mean foam.)

This is great, I can see a few bits of this in myself aswell. Make's me proud to be a fan of Power Metal.
I would like to keep swords but when it comes to metal it's a warhammer for me.

Sadly, I'm not much of a reader so I haven't read many fantasy novels (including LOTR, please don't judge) and I'm nowhere near as much of a Tolkien geek as I'd like to be. Other than those, this fits me perfectly!

Fits exactly for me
Awesome!

Kinda sums me up... Almost too well. Am I THAT predictable??

I don't but I will be using your gallery as an I-Spy book for Hammerfest next week, and I know I've seen every one of them in Bloodstock so will tick them off as I go. I only need to look in a mirror though to see this one.
π: 0 β©: 1
hah! that's sounds like a Β pretty fun game to play actually, i just might try that myself on the next festival i go to
π: 0 β©: 1
There's probably even a few regulars who don't appear in the gallery. (Not meaning to sound like a war vet, but...) I've seen some things in my time.
π: 0 β©: 1
oh yeah, i still need to make a few more, that's a given, i'm just terribly slow

I hear that, I'm still working on a few projects I should have finished ages ago, one happens to be the biggest I've ever done.
