But in some sense that metalhead weirdo element isn't necessarily a bad thing even though it's a bit cringe from the outside.

Like, Bronies or whatever, that I can't see anything good in you know. That's just pure sadness and people who would probably be happier if they got their shit together and stopped emulating a cartoon for 4 year old girls.

But I was chatting to this metalhead who was in my school. He's definitely off-balance socially, he's universally considered a weirdo. He constantly facebooks in a kinda cringey way to telegraph his metalheadness, shit like hating on "hipsters", posing with his bands, "nothing like X metal band after gym sesh", commenting on shit in the metal world etc. Whatever.

But he's also a pretty interesting guy cus he's really passionate, he writes all his music, plays every instrument, actively works on his shit, puts together the studio etc. Even though our music tastes are completely different I can have some cool conversations with him. He said to me once how he believes the genre and the culture inherently attracts weirdos and people who get picked on. He's always been a weirdo, he knows, and he knows people think he's an annoying shit, but he feels at home in that crowd, and he finds it's full of people who identify with him on a social as well as musical level. Maybe you could say the same for bronies, but I somehow I don't feel like judging cringe metal people too harshly, even though I can make fun of it from the outside for the obviously cringe elements.

TBH I'm sincerely pretty fascinated by the scifi/2001/transcendence/lovelydivot stuff that hovers around dance music culture, and even though that stuff isn't expressed as loudly as the metal fantasy/medieval bits, it's more or less the same thing in that it's something "out there" and perhaps a bit cringe to people.

How much does music taste say about you like that though? Is that stuff the metal dude said just a hopeful thought that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, like outsiders and weirdos go to the culture that loudly identifies as being for outsiders and weirdos, and it has nothing inherently to do with the vibes from the music (that's what I think most anime/brony shit is about TBH). Or does the music independently attract people who feel a certain way about things deep down?

I think the music you enjoy does say something like that, but perhaps not as directly as you've framed it there., like for metal I think it more sets an attitude towards it, something self-embracing/affirming, that essentially says something like "yolo, i'm me" but iI don't think all music is like that, and different kinds of metal get at that same theme in different ways. Then again, people use music differently too so maybe that's all a load of shit.

Well, nowaysj's idea about occult shit in dubstep

that kind of stuff, even though it's maybe a bit cringe and whatever, is fascinating to me.

Like if I casually mention to someone I don't really know that I'm into checking out dubstep for occult symbolism, people would prolly think im sad as fuck.

This is pretty dope thooo

Mentioning your a wannabe dubstep producer is the quickest way to escape from an unwanted conversation.
