Black t-shirts are after all, not the answer to everything.

Metal heads are extremely hardcore fragile beings and need to be treated right, especially during music festivals. It’s veryย likely they’ll meet someone who thinks Limp Bizkit is real music and just lose their shit. Or someone might tell them beer is over and all hell might break lose. We never know. It’s okay, ye headbangers, we’ve got your back!

Here are just a few of the struggles that every metal head faces at music festivals!

1. When you got to sit through bands your friends like because you’re a nice person

Why do people listen to these things?

2. When people start mosh pits at EDM gigs

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE TRUE MEANING OF THE SACRED MOSH PIT.

3. When people are calmly enjoying music

What is this? Who are these barbarians? What do they listen to? Wait, indie? Oh god I’m out.

4. When the music gets too hardcore for your friends

Oh so your friends agreedย to accompany you to metal stage? Wait till they startย backing away from you as you start growling and head-banging.

5. When people just assume you worship Satanย 

It’s just not fair that they naturally just assume that just because your favourite band is called ‘Cannibal Corpse.’ Psh.

6. When people say,’I love metal too man. Metal is the BEST.’

Only to complete it with, ‘Yeah Linkin Park and Korn are my favourites!’

WHY?!

7. When you’re a girl and people don’t think you can mosh

Watch me, bitch.
