The heavy metal subculture was created when fans of metal music came together.

Like punk it is very important to those in the subculture that you are actually apart of the subculture and don't just dress in the fashion of the subculture.

Motorcycles are often associated with the subculture.

many people associate metalheads with being n@zis or bad people but that isn't always the case. many metalheads and bikers are really cool and nice. there's even many bikers in a group called BACA, which stands for bikers against child abuse. just look them up, they're so cool
