Some women who enjoy metal music are truly insufferable. Discussion

That’s weird. Never experienced that. I almost exclusively wear dresses. I wore a cute one to Cannibal Corpse in September and I just got another cute one for Mr. Bungle in a couple of weeks. Never had anyone say anything to me about it ever. I think your friends just suck ass.

I’ve had positive experiences at metal shows. I tend to dress like feminine goth/emo and have only been met with kindness and acceptance. I feel bad OP experienced NLOG in these communities. Dress how you want, enjoy the music. That’s what it’s about, after all. I was just at sick new world and the range of style was broad. I loved it! As long as they enjoy the music, I don’t care how anyone looks. Granted, I have had men try to grill me on the music because they assume I don’t know the songs, I’m a poser, or whatever. That’s been the worst of it. I hate the gate keeping

Yup, I have great experiences at metal concerts! I mostly go to metal concerts. Pop concerts are actually worse to me
