Subculture widespread in northern Europe, it is wide enough — in northern America, there is a significant amount of her representatives in southern America, southern Europe and Japan. In the Near East, except for Israel and Turkey, metalheds (as well as many other "nonconformists") are small and are exposed to prosecution. The name the Word «Metalheds» — Russian, derivative of a word "metal" with addition of the borrowed Latin suffix "-ist". Initially it meant workers of the metalwork industry, "tinmen". Metalheds in value «the admirer of heavy metal» has become current in the late eighties. In English language analog of Russian «металлист» is metalhead — «Metalheds», «mad about metal».

Nevertheless, there are some lines which are considered characteristic for representatives of subculture. Texts of metal bands propagandize independence, independence and self-trust, a cult of "strong personality". The relation to religion variously, but traditionally is considered that metalheds aren't religious. Despite an abundance of religious and occult mysticism in texts of metal bands, they as a rule don't carry missionary character and are perceived by admirers as allegory.

Subcultures - Metalworkers

Metal

Metal, it is one of the biggest "informal" subcultures.
Once upon a time it was heavy music fad a few music fans, the entertainment elite intellectuals ... and even a momentary fad Gopnik. Today, listening to heavy music, almost everything. Now this is a very rich musical seam, some components of which have nothing in common except the typical "overloaded" sound. "Gravity" today - equal, modern, advanced course, is not no underground, no not rebellion, as has happened before.
Where did they come

The history of heavy music - it is primarily the story of "dirty" sound. That gave rise to the modern guitar music rock 'n' roll, they know everything, but it is known that up to about the early 60's supercharged rock guitarists sound was not used. It was believed that the electric guitar should sound like normal - just a louder, brighter and juicier. Any distortion of the background, or perceived as a marriage when you configure the sound.

Gradually, with the development of sound reinforcement and guitar techniques, guitarists innovators are experimenting with handles volume and frequency of their instruments and "amps". This, in turn, led to changes in playing techniques.

Accompanying the groups also began to adjust to the new sounds and techniques, and then the guitar gradually came to the fore, and not very noticeable from the accompanying instrument into a prom queen, pushing sometimes vocalist.
Metal

The term itself, which often represent the whole "gravity" - metal - came from areas of the music quite far. For the first time in a cultural context, the phrase heavy metal used in the novel «Naked Lunch» (1959), the legendary William S. Burroughs. He named as a tough, aggressive, assertive music (the fact that even during World War II on American soldiers' jargon heavy metal meant artillery fire).

In 1968 the guys from the famous American band Steppen Wolf in the song «Born to be wild», too, singing «I like ... heavy metal thunder »- and though the song had in mind the thunder, like the firing of guns, and later it became regarded as a manifesto:" I love when the heavy metal thunder. " And so after a music reviewer for the journal «Creem» Lester Bengz used in the article, the phrase heavy metal, this band definitely has the designation of a new musical direction. Clarification of «heavy» died out in the end, but the essence of something left. All musicians of this style, and their fans began to call themselves metalworkers and soon formed his own musical subculture.

Fans of heavy metal rock music (heavy metal rock), black metal rock music (black metal rock), rock metal speed (speed metal rock) - all of them - metal.

Some metal-professed cult of Satan, calling themselves satanists, but it is rather rare. The current generation of metal-free life is like at your pleasure. They believe that owe nothing to other people, go to concerts, which can drink alcohol, and then arrange fights. The movement of the metal can be divided into two groups: a radical and more calm. To include radical-metal Satanists and particularly aggressive group. They are often adjacent to the punks, because they are impressed by the cult of violence, the spirit of rebellion and denial, as well as the opportunity to make fun of the weak.

To the metal adjacent to a group of teenagers who like rock music, costume Neformal. The older and more experienced do not take them seriously, but these young and old, experienced, metal, aged 35-40 years, crossed the border, are a more steady flow. Among young people, of course, there are metal, which superficially versed in the problems of metallic rock, behave with others is very provocative and aggressive. As a rule, they live, and after them, arrange small disturbances, jump on the stage, throwing the empty cans and bottles of beer.
Appearance

Their external appearance defiantly aggressive: black clothes with lots of metal, depicting skulls, blood, and the words "Satan" in English. Although the clothing is clean, neat. Classic metal wear tight black jeans tucked into high boots, or "Cossacks" leather jacket with zipper slash - "leather jackets", "kosovoroty" earrings in her left ear, rings depicting skulls or other black magic symbols (pentagram, skeleton, etc . etc.), but their external aggression and moodiness are often a means of shocking people around them. Those who are over 25 years, engaged in serious work, usually peaceful, but sometimes can make a row, along with those who are younger.

In a medium metal is true connoisseurs of heavy rock. They are peaceful, are not attracted to attributes, well versed in musical trends, not only modern but also classical music. Most metalworkers are bikers, which will be discussed later.

Music in the style of Meta

Metal as a genre emerged in the early 1970s, mainly in Britain and the United States. In our time it is distributed worldwide and has many ramifications.

Metal music has become a cultural phenomenon that has spread beyond music. Theme songs, philosophy, lifestyle, image musicians and their fans have become an important feature of modern culture.

Heavy music, on the one hand, it is a part of modern mass culture, on the other hand, is positioned as a counterweight to it. Many groups, especially representatives of the traditional types of metal, had great success in the mass audience. They became the winners of the music awards, such as "Grammy", and gave concerts in front of an audience of thousands. Their songs have participated with success in many of the charts and their videos demonstrating channel MTV.

Like most rock music, metal, ideologically opposes the pop-culture. Many fans of the metal groups condemn the commercialization and frowned upon looking at their involvement in show business.

The peak of his popularity reached the metal in the 1980s. At various times he gave way to the popularity of punk rock, new wave, grunge and alternative rock, but unlike them are not experienced jumps and falls, while maintaining a sufficiently large army of fans.

Most metal-written texts in English. Even those groups for which this language is not native (German and Scandinavian), resorted to him to have students understand their songs. Nevertheless, the songs in their native languages ​​of different countries are not so rare. The majority of Russian, Polish, and Japanese bands sing in their native languages, focusing on the domestic audience.

Metal bands of different genres often appeal to science fiction, mythology, literary horror. However, much of the lyrics of metal bands is drawn to the more traditional rock music matter: love life, freedom, war. Despite the outward aggressiveness, lyrics metal bands is probably an element of style and image, not a call to violence. The musicians and their fans usually refer to the texts with due irony.

Metal and religion (we are not Satanists.)

The relationship of heavy music, and organized religion has always been difficult. The texts of some metal bands, their image and aesthetics are often irritated by the conservative community, and including religious leaders. The press regularly publish articles accusing the metal in promoting Satanism, suicide and violence.

With the advent of extreme forms of heavy music, and there was a new ideology. Performers black metal, unlike members of other genres, really were the carriers of radical ideology, opposed to Christianity.
Every religion, from their point of view, is a means of controlling the masses. Most often this theme in the work group met thrash metal.

There are also many artists whose lyrics contain a positive outlook on Christianity. There is a subgenre of Christian metal. It is a kind of rock music on the theme of Christianity. Groups of Christian rock lyrics sing about God, faith and soul, and usually consist of inchurched Christians. Christian rock is allocated solely on the texts, he does not have its musical characteristics, and can run on a variety of techniques for rock music.

Style of music Metal

Metal style of music has a large number of different areas and genres, from relatively "light" (the classic heavy metal, power metal) to a very "heavy" and imperceptible to most untrained listeners (death metal, black metal, etc. .)

Introduced in the early 70s of the 20th century, the metal has come a long way of development and branching. Starting in the '70s as a single style (heavy metal), metal music reached its peak of popularity in the '80s, and then gave birth to their more extreme forms. In the 90 years of metal went through a period of mixing with other genres of music and the process continues to the present time. Currently, there are more than a dozen major subgenres of metal, and even more mixed, and regional variations.

Over time, increasingly complex and high-speed solos and riffs became the signs of a variety of styles with the development of metal. Guitarists use tapping and other techniques of high-speed game. Most areas require a metal virtuoso playing on instruments and almost extreme vocal performance.

Many bands use keyboards in the arrangement. This is characteristic of groups in such genres as progressive metal and symphonic metal. There are examples of innovative use of cello, violin, flute, saxophone, and even folk instruments in metal instrumentov.Takie play the role of the arrangements and are not fundamental.

The meaning of the lyrics and the ideological direction often varies from one direction to another, while there is some commonality. For all areas of metal is characterized by abstraction, pathetic, appeal to the fantastic and allegorical themes, mythology, literature, horror. For most sub-genres is characteristic of a strong personality cult, belligerence and aggression. However, much of the metal bands of texts drawn to the more traditional matter - freedom, love life, war.

With the advent of extreme forms of heavy music, and there was a new ideology. Performers black metal, unlike members of other genres, were carriers of radical ideology and anti-Christianity. Rejecting the traditional religion, black metal musicians became supporters and even the preachers of the new religious movements: Satanism, neo-paganism.


In contrast to the black metal, in other genres is not shaped by religious ideology. More than that, many of the texts in their stated opposition to any organized religion as such, traditional or not. Every religion, from their point of view, there is a management tool by the masses. In particular, this subject is often encountered in the work of groups of thrash metal.

There is also a considerable number of artists whose lyrics contain a positive outlook on Christianity. There is a subgenre of Christian metal, which the performers - believers inchurched Christians - sing songs about faith and God

Geographical distribution of styles of uniform. On different continents and in different countries vary widely popular styles, and in the east, particularly in Islamic countries, the public and the antagonism of heavy music is much more - a lot of bands and styles, there is simply not allowed.
