How many people can comfortably speak or rather sing their minds out without a care in the world? Certainly not your average person. It takes a certain type of person to not only be okay with but also to enjoy speaking their mind no matter who or what is opposing them. This is where metalheads differ from the average person.
Being a metalhead requires an intelligence that not a lot of people have. Sure, they might be a little misunderstood and they might listen to music that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but that doesn’t make them any less intelligent than anyone else. In fact, here are five reasons why metalheads are smarter than your average Joe.
Metalheads Are Not Afraid to Stand Up for What They Believe In
In this day and age, where people are constantly being told to conform to societal norms, it’s refreshing to see people who are willing to go against the grain. Metalheads aren’t afraid to be themselves and they certainly aren’t afraid to express their opinions, no matter how controversial they may be.
Metalheads Are Very Passionate About the Things They Care About
Whether it’s their music, their hobbies, or their beliefs, metalheads always give 100%. This level of commitment is something that not a lot of people are capable of achieving. It takes a certain level of dedication, intelligence and determination to be able to stick to something, especially when it’s not always easy. Metalheads definitely have this dedication and determination in spades.
Metalheads Tend to Be Open-Minded Individuals
Metalheads are not afraid to step outside of their comfort zones and try new things. This willingness to experiment and explore is what sets metalheads apart from others who might be content with staying in their comfort zones. It takes a certain level of intelligence and curiosity to want to venture into the unknown and that’s exactly what metalheads have.
They Are Also Highly Individualistic
They tend to dress differently, look different, and think differently from mainstream society. In other words, they are not afraid to be themselves, even if it means standing out from the crowd. This kind of independent thinking is a sign of true intelligence.
The Music is Amazingly Complex
Finally, the music is nothing close to other forms of modern music. The intricate guitar work, the driving drums, and the soaring vocals all come together to create a sound that is both powerful and beautiful. And it's not just the music that is complex; the lyrics often deal with deep and complicated themes. Heavy metal bands are not afraid to tackle tough topics like death, loss, and betrayal.
As a result, their songs can be both thought-provoking and moving. This not only takes a lot of talent, but also a certain intelligence.
