I saw a comment somewhere else on the internet that metalheads are nice people who pretend to be mean, while hippies are mean people who pretend to be nice. I'm also more than willing to say the puritanical busybody moralistic crusaders on both sides of the aisle politically are tyrants masquerading as protectors of the innocent. Conservatives are way clumsier at it though, and it would be funnier if it weren't so dangerous to liberty.

I've never met a actually mean metal fan but they do wear scary looking shirts! The metal fans that enjoy the music that has a satanic feel to it aren't Satanists and they just seem to get some glee out of the silliness of the topic matter as if they are poking fun at all religion - which I believe is kind of warranted. I knew a bunch of hippies in college as well and while most of them were quite kind, they were just as likely as anyone else to do terrible things. I think the biggest offenders of people liking peaceful music but actually living quite nasty lifestyles are probably country music fans.
I read somewhere that at the massive metal fests that they have in Europe, Waken Open Air being a major one, have almost zero crime at them despite having tens of thousands of attendees. I suppose this is a totally different conversation though but people losing their heads over song lyrics just seems so 70's and 80's. These are the same people that think video games cause violence in teens.
