Metalhead is the most popular term for a devoted fan of heavy metal music. Many metalheads believe that metal eschews trivial parts of music such as love and delivers music in the heaviest, most-concentrated form. Although metalheads are not around as much as they were in the 1980s, there is still a large fan base for metal, which is rumored to be making a comeback. Metalheads are usually young, between the ages of 10 and 30. Most of these youths have a strong hatred for convention and conformity. They sometimes sport long, unkempt hair, and dress in a distinctive manner. The main attire for these peoples is a t-shirt with their favorite band's name imprinted on the front, denim jeans, and combat boots. Also often worn are denim and/or leather jackets with spicks attached to them. They may seem to be slouchy and lethargic, despite the manner of the music they favor, but this is mainly a reaction to society itself. Some people also view them as possessing less then average intellect, but increasing amounts of intellectual adolescents are becoming part of this subculture. You can still find metalheads today, and children are becoming metalheads at an early age.
