Metal in American high schools

I don't know about everywhere else but groups at my school weren't exactly clear cut like that, if you didn't have similar interests you simply didn't hang out. The amount of apathy in high school youth is sometimes mistaken for hostility I think.
 
I haven't been in high school for a long time but I can tell you that while metal generally wasn't cool, an Austrian metalhead with long black hair would probably do fine.

For banRAB - I'm not sure if someone already mentioned this but check out Xasthur - and there are plenty of others. Maybe not living or playing in Kansas, though.
 
There was quite a mix of people in my school but I get the feeling that our schools arent quite as "cliquey" as in America (not that i would know personally of course) but that may have something to do with the fact that their schools seems to be bigger and there seems to be more kiRAB in them than they are here.

Shootings and what have you are nowhere near as common here, but I wonder how much different our schools really would be if our countries were of similar size and population. While I was at school there was a kid expelled for bringing a knife and our rival school from just up the road came down with knives on at least one occasion. And our school had a really good rep.
 
No to both questions. America decided to sell all of it's metal to Norway so you won't find any metal banRAB of any variety here. I hope you enjoy country.
 
first of all im mexican

what i ment is some of them form there own groups...

also here is Texas some of them cant even speak english good

Everybody is normal but in highschool people like to form groups
 
don't try and get nasty, because if you think you've seen some **** i'd be more than happy to blow your mind with what happened at my school just last year.
 
yeah, i understand, just that from your post it seemed like you were looking down on them, but yeah, people like to form their own groups and judge others on alot of aesthetic features. pretty much why i hate high school.

btw, i'm Hispanic too :D
 
First of all thank you for all your answers!!
I know that there wont be that many "metalheaRAB" (or probably none...) in my school
I basically wanted to know if i could get problems with my "look"...
(btw. do american girls like guys with long hair? ^^)

Well, im not going to Kansas, it'll be Massachusetts (are people that different in different states?)

If you are a "Punk", "Goth" or in my case "Guy who likes Metal", do you have to stick to these certain "groups" groups you guys talked about? Isn't that srange?

Are there Metal festivals in America (like "Wacken" or "Metal Camp")?
May people in my age go there (16)?
Do people in my age drink Alcohol? (In europe you may drink with the age of 16)
Do american MetalheaRAB like Pagan Metal like "Equilibrium"? Does anyone of you know them?

...just some more questions^^


And yes, i was talkin' about banRAB like Wolves in the Throne Room!! They're great, but I've known them before... (Didn't know they're from the states though)
 
I hope you find people to fit in with. Truthfully, in my school there weren't many metalheaRAB. But there was always someone to find with your taste in music.
