thank god the 'metalhead' stereotype is dying out

The aesthetics of metal bands (and fans) is as varied as the music tbh, so I wouldn't say that this stereotype is dying, I could easily find some pictures of some visual kei bands... and how has wearing pointy things ruined metal lol?

How dare people dress in a way that expresses themselves! Those cretins! Those abominations! The audacity of them to not want to conform to societal norms! Bastards

You wear makeup in all your avi's, dont go on about expression when you full well know you wouldn't look half as good without it.

the dress style was almost exclusivley long dirty hair, chains, baggy cargo trousers and dozens of sweatbands. it looks ridiculous and is the reason most people label metalheads as people who hate life, are depressed and are *******ated

What? If anything that supports my point. I use my face as a canvas and so express myself with dramatic makeup, and I support other people's rights to express themselves.

Anyway what does my appearance have to do with this exactly?

Why are you trying to imply mall-goths represent all metal fans?
Also the second picture probably more accurate describes -core and djent musicians.
Meanwhile in Norway, giant invisible sandwiches are still all the rage:

Makeup is used to enhance your appearance, making you more appealing, at least, thats why the industry invests millions into advertising for this purpose. There is nothing 'dramatic' about red lipstick and some foundation, look around at any club and you will realize this.

vest metal lol

legit I had Immortal in mind when I saw this thread lol

Makeup is an art form. It's not just used to enhance an appearance although it can be, it is also used as an expression of personal style, and art. And yeah my makeup is "dramatic", I don't go for a natural look because I don't like it. And I'll pass thanks, I like my outings classy

I'd still love to know what my makeup has to do with this though

So you don't like the way you look without makeup?
In other words, you use makeup because you are not satisfied with your facial features. The only thing you seem to be expressing is your hunger for attention.

No. That's not what I said. I personally think faces without makeup look unfinished. You can have the prettiest faces in the world and it still looks unfinished. Nothing to do with my natural features. I just think no makeup/natural make up looks boring on anyone.

Again what does this have to do with this?
