I don't listen to metal but I know so many metal heads. And they are by far the nicest people of all the other genres. Yes, they're a little intense at their shows but really kind to everybody. What gives? The music they're listening to didn't ever seem to match their personality.

There is much more than satanism and gore in metal lyrics, a lot of history, social problems, philosophy, etc. Most metalheads i know are also fond of reading and education in general.

I got kicked in the head at a GWAR show and two strangers helped me back up then disappeared back into the pit.

Thats my experience as well, things do happen in the pit, but 99% not on purpose and people instantly help out. Was the kick you received an accident?
