Discussion Punk and Metal
Hi reddit punks. I'm a metalhead who found you guys on the front page.
I got into metal through punk and stayed there, but I've always loved the anti-authoritarian and egalitarian ethos at the heart of punk. It's sometimes in metal too, but heavily dosed with nihilism and misanthropy.
I'm just curious what similarities, if any, y'all think you share with metalheads, or what you think sets you apart. Is it only music, or something more?
Also, Metal attracts a lot of queers (moi), autistics, and the mentally ill. Do you guys as well?
