Metal community, all subgenres welcome.
It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.
Other Communities:
I'm only a casual metal listener who only really started listening to metal via power metal, but most metalheads I come across seem to appreciate most of the subgenres/metal-adjacent music. I don't care much for elitism in music either - I'd say a lot of metal fans are quite reasonable and open to new sounds.
I hope more people post some newer bands, so I can discover some new music :)
Yeah, overall metal heads are really cool about accepting that other people can like what they want. It's a really tiny section that isn't. Alas, the tiny section is loud lol.
More often than not, metal fans are more about introducing you to what they like, than bashing what you do.
