Heavy metal is not only a genre of music loved by many, but some people also treat it as a way of life. There are many things that factor into living a heavy metal lifestyle. Its what you wear, the music you listen to, the dancing you do, and also Typically when choosing what to dress one normally wears all dark clothes, including a black shirt from a respected heavy metal band. Also, leather is not only associated with "bikers," but with "metalheads" as well so feel free to accessorize with it. To top off the outfit, slip on a pair of black converse.
 

There are many gestures that "metalheads" tend to use more often than most people. When at heavy metal concerts, the most popular form of dancing is known as moshing, or mosh pit dancing. Another form of dancing is known as headbanging. The infamous hand gesture seen and associated with heavy metal music is called the "devil horns."
