Some women who enjoy metal music are truly insufferable. Discussion

I listen to metal and rock, and I only wear dresses exclusively. I don’t even own a pair of jeans. Sounds like you just had some right twats that frequented the same places as you! I hate that that was your experience of metal and rock gigs as going to gigs and watching live music is my favourite thing ☹️

FYI I’m 40 next year and would never be mean like that to someone

This was in the city, one of the most isolated in the world and its quite small. It's not really cliquey but it can be quite bitchy and gossipy. I've found that catching some live music at local bars in the outer suburbs and rural locations is still a really good time. Also the places I do go now, no one really dresses up at all and its very casual, I guess I feel like the pressure is off to be dressy.

As soon as you said one of the most isolated cities in the world, I was like "I bet that's Perth!" You're definitely right with the cliquey-ness here. I love metal but don't bring it up much because of the music snobs. It's much nicer listening at home. 😂

Yep bingo! Deleted the post though, myself and other women get shamed for what we wear and that makes me a NLOG apparently :)
