My guy left out the "camo pants + boots" that Is almost mandatory on Death metal shows

I can’t tell if Coolea loves or loathes heavy music and it’s great.

I legitimately think one of the reasons why "Nu-metal Fashion" is making a comeback is because, like you said, it's more similar to hip-hop rather than metal or punk. Given how hip-hop is the dominant genre today, of course Nu-metal's baggy jeans, graphic tees, and chunky shoes would thrive.

the absolute amount of content you produc is unreal

[Conorwinters]

I always wanted a British teenager to explain this to me. Thanks so much.

Alcohol and cigarette stench is also an important part of the thrash metal attire :D

I only ever wore corpse paint once, and that was on the 06/06/06. I mean it had to be done. I walked around all day in two bullet belts, full gauntlets and the aforementioned "slap". Was awesome. I was also incredibly drunk, and maybe walked into one or two peoples houses, and proclaimed "hail satan" at them. Luckily no one rang the police, as I was in a student area and no one really gave a fvck.

For the latest fashion: I think its almost kind of an ironic use like “look we use normal clothes and actually write extreme music”. Add to that the rise of bedroom artist and how shock value is no longer such a big thing, and you get that

[ZachlikesMetal]

I've been a metalhead my whole life and I just wear normal clothes like a band shirt and shorts and I still get looks lol.

[tubahuman]

I love the glam metal aesthetic. Motley crue is one of my fav bands. It's so crazy to me that modern metal artists look so normal.

In Japan, the symbolism of choice instead of pentagrams were swastikas. Because in Japan, the pentagram isn’t as shocking, because there are not many christians, so you get bunch of guys looking like Mötley Crü, but with swastika armbands. The bands sound more like thrash metal, with elements from both glam and early black metal.

The names of the bands also follow this topic, probably the best band of them is Rosenfeld. Others are Rommel, Hakenkreuz, Mein Kampf, Gyorai (torpedo in japanese) and bunch of bands with SS at the end.

At 2:36 you missed the part that it was the gay leather subculture Mr Halford found his inspiration as he was slowly coming out of the closet.Just as 'Rebellious punk fashion' was just a means to sell clothes the 'Metal denim and Leather' is officially as straight as Rob Halford, Freddy Mercury and David Bowie together

[thatevlcanadian]

I applaud you for managing to avoid mentioning Gwar as of yet

Metal fans: We're nonconformist.

Also metal fans: We have a uniform

[Elijah-kivo]

I’ve always thought, out of any Metal musicians.. Cliff Burton had the coolest style

[metalbrick]

I want to see metal bands bring back the bullet shell belts. Those were awesome to look at.

[Hippidog_Grogrund]

i love the dissection t shirt, such a good band

[srslywtfclp]

I love the picture at 5:50, i live close by where it was taken and have several times seen metalhead tourists recreating it

[casey_kitt]

for me nothing has surpassed the thrash style of dress. bullet belts are cool, fight me
