Memes. For metal music.
Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.

I have a colleague who’s into metal. Always wears a band shirt, always in black. As you’d expect. Except on VERY rare days where she runs out of those or if it’s indeed just too hot to wear black.
It’s downright jarring to see her in anything except black. Looks like a completely different person.
I do imagine it’s nice to be a female metal fan. Never have to worry about what to wear or what colors to match 😂
There was a brief era in the 2000's where bands from pop-punk to metal-core released super bright coloured shirts (like fluro-bright) with over the top cartoon artwork, it was a nice change.
Also you can get pink metal shorts/jumpers that go pretty hard (i have only seen these worn by men though)
That must’ve been quite a shock for the average metalhead, fluorescent shirts :D
As a guy who loves bright rainbow shit, I certainly would be the weirdo opting for pink over black.
Funny enough the colleague I mentioned supposedly has a fully pastel pink decorated house. Metal on the outside, Barbie on the inside! I sure do love the dichotomy.
For reference, they looked like this:
(Although these pictures dont do the colours justice, some looked straight up radioactive neon like they woukd glow in the dark)
Mid 2000s mallcore. Hated it then, am nostalgic for it now. Definitely guilty pleasure music haha
Nice, dinosaur comics reference
Those are awesome! Definitely would’ve worn a few of those back in the day.
I know a woman who went goth specifically for that reason. And it's why I stick to a lot of black in my clothes and cosmetics. Black lipstick goes with everything
