Metalheads!


What are metalheads? Metalhead is a popular sub-culture spanning the world who are fans of Heavy Metal music. They can be found at concerts head-banging and moshing to their favorite metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Motorhead and Cannibal Corpse. There are literally too many metal bands to list here however attending a concert of such a band is a guaranteed metal head venue filled to the brim with long hair, band tees and beer! The common stereotype metalhead appearance is long hair, band t-shirts and combat trousers with boots or converse, although it doesn't stop there, the styles and appearances differ between people and the type of music they listen to. Some wear skinny fit jeans and sports trainers where others may be clad in leather jackets adorned with spikey studs and patches.

Metalhead is 1 of 2 personalities i am going to adopt for my project on identity. Using clothes i have at home i am going to adopt the style of the metalhead and manipulate an image of myself into a concert or maybe even playing in a band on stage. To do this i will research imaging from concerts and also research deeper into the style.
