I've got short hair (has been long on occasion but I think long hair is a pain to deal with), probably more black t-shirts than the average person, black shoes, and I wear jeans whenever possible. This doesn't give people the impression that I'm a metal fan so much as they always think I've got a cigarette they can have even though I've never smoked.

I shave my head bald, have earrings, piercings, tattoos, wear mainly black or dark clothes, wear leather jackets and long jackets - depending on weather, wear mainly army boots, have usually 1-2 days beard ( which is funny, because I shave my head daily but not my beard ).

I´m not handsome, or tidy looking ( though I´m always clean )..

I don´t know or care what I can be called. I choose to be what I am. It might be "rough" for someones tastes or "geeky" for some others tastes.. I don´t care.

Attitude means more than outlook.

My sister started dating with a guy who has big glasses and tidy hair, dresses very differently than me or my friends.. or any serious -what you would call as- "metalheads".. but the guy has an attitude that he could eat alive any tough looking wannabee rocker I know.
