Metalhead is the most popular term for a devoted fan of heavy metal music. Many metalheads believe that metal eschews trivial parts of music such as love and delivers music in the heaviest, most-concentrated form. Although metalheads are not as prevalent as they were in the 1980s, there is still a prominent fan base for metal. Metalheads are usually young, between the ages of 10 and 30. Most of these youths have a strong hatred for convention and conformity. They sometimes sport long, unkempt hair, and dress in a distinctive manner. The average attire of this subculture includes band or concert t-shirts, denim jeans, and black leather shoes or boots. Also often worn are denim and/or leather jackets with spikes attached to them. They may seem to be slouchy and lethargic, despite the manner of the music they favour, but this is mainly a reaction to society itself. Some people also view them as possessing less then average intellect, but increasing amounts of intellectuals are becoming part of this subculture. Metalheads are still fairly common today, and children are becoming metalheads at an early age.
