"I think heavy metal is masculine only in so much as body building is masculine, it is the male side of a not-particularly-impressive trait, or perhaps misguided.

Michael D. Denny replied to THRASH4ODIN's discussion Heavy metal : The most masculine of music genres?"Poison was a lot of things. Metal however, is not among them. "
Michael D. Denny replied to THRASH4ODIN's discussion Heavy metal : The most masculine of music genres?"Not many teenagers rockin' the metal these days, big guy.
Hell, Lemmy Kilmister is in his mid 60s', the guys in Overkill just put out a new album and they're all in their 50s', for examples. "
Tigerbeard replied to THRASH4ODIN's discussion Heavy metal : The most masculine of music genres?"Nicely put. At the centre of the hardcore ethos is hard work, respect for yourself and others and standing up for your beliefs. All good masculine values in my book."

I think people have a very narrow understanding of metal and punk music. For instance, associating it with adolescence. There are plenty of older metallers and punks. Most of the musicians in metal…"
Everything is coming up Milhouse replied to THRASH4ODIN's discussion Heavy metal : The most masculine of music genres?"Lord knows I equate manliness with men wearing spandex and makeup. Also, a tip of my hat to the posters who noted Thor. 'Rock n Roll Nightmare' is clearly one of the greatest comedic films ever made. Albeit unwillingly.

"Aside from the ear-bleeding volumes of this genre, one of the problems is most men the world over don't have 'viking roots'. As far as 'hunter instinct' you could make the case that African and Latin-American music…"

done."
Native Son replied to THRASH4ODIN's discussion Heavy metal : The most masculine of music genres?"Dude.
I never said you needed to make an exhautive list.
BUT. If you make a very broad statement, you really need to present more than one piece of evidence to back up the statement.
In this case, you need to list a couple more examples of…"
Bryan Maloney replied to THRASH4ODIN's discussion Heavy metal : The most masculine of music genres?"If listening to a specific genre to appear tough is weak, it is equally as weak to tout ones favorite genre as the "most masculine"--it's just fanboy posing."
Bryan Maloney replied to THRASH4ODIN's discussion Heavy metal : The most masculine of music genres?"Heavy metal is "the most masculine" if "masculine" means "teenage white boy", "arrested development white boy", "mid-life crisis white boy", and nothing else.
Eventually, men cease being boys and…"
Richard Saullo replied to THRASH4ODIN's discussion Heavy metal : The most masculine of music genres?"I know you say listening to a given genre of music to appear tough is weak, but aren't you doing something similar by saying how you listen to this genre of music which is the absolute most masculine of all genres?
