Talk:Heavy metal subculture

message: The term "hessian" seems to be exclusive to the folks who congregate around the whole ANUS.com (American Nihilist Underground Society), corrupt.org, and Satanic Coalition, notorious internet trolls and right-wing polemicists who are widely hated by a lot of other metal fans.  I'm not saying that all mention of the term should be eliminated from this article, as I think ANUS et al are a fairly notable presence in terms of metal-related websites, and their ambitions to legitimize metal as a high art is significant, but the term needs to be qualified in relation to their views.  I have never, ever, ever heard metal fans outside of that particular circle, whether in person, or online (through message boards or on other metal websites) refer to themselves "hessians."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vlad the Impaler (talk • contribs) 17:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there, I'm a Hessian from the UK.  There's a good number of us here, and I think I'm the only one that's ever even seen the ANUS page, and I've never heard of corrupt.org or the "Satanic Coalition".  I think the current spread of this ethos stemmed from people who worked on such sites, but they were carrying a torch from before their time - this thing extends back into the eighties, as a way of life.  You should probably forget the ANUS crap, since it doesn't always reflect the Hessian outlook accurately; they have a generally good taste in music, but some strange politics.  All it means to be a Hessian is to live Metal: it's a way of distinguishing between "real metalheads" (people who'll probably die listening to Slayer) and fair weather fans (who'll move onto the next big thing as soon as whatever counts as "popular metal" dies). -unsigned  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.76.135 (talk) 10:59, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Given there are now four alternate definitions of Metalhead linked from here, and this article isn't even called Metalhead anymore, it seems a bit silly to keep it redireting here. When I have a bit more time, I'll convert the redirect into a disambig page, which I think will work beter all round. --ThePaintedOne (talk) 14:04, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

message: add before that kid-man a statistical metal fan population chart by country -
also create a different chart to analyze age and changes in musical taste.
Do it officially, use a famous statistical research company and find a way to pay it.
this isn't a scientific article. All articles are supposed to reveal actual data BEFORE personal opinions!!!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:4108:5F00:B577:E8C5:B37A:AB6E (talk) 14:36, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

message: It may just be me, but some sections seem to rely a bit too much on direct quotation and feel very chunky to read because of it — especially the “Subculture” section - or use quotation marks in the air quotes sense excessively. I’m just unsure if this is truly a problem and if so how to deal with it. Any comment would be helpful, thank you! InRRainbows (talk) 16:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
