Title says it all. What are your opinions on some metal haircuts that aren’t just long hair?
Just looking at bands and people at shows I go to I see pretty much everything. Can’t really nave a not metal haircut IMO.
Agreed. Unlike the 80s trend of “big hair”, metal haircuts these days cover pretty much the whole spectrum. Heck, I’m just looking at BTBAM and you got 5 different styles right there.
Have whatever hair style you like
I love to see a good Skullet at concerts (bonus points for corpse paint that goes up the bald head) but really I think people should be encouraged to dress/style themselves however they like, regardless of what music they listen to. I’m a weekend warrior with a regular 9-to-5 so I can’t really do anything exciting with my hair.
Most people in metal have to have jobs on the side now so I don’t think the skullet is feasible.
One of my favorite things about metal is how accepting it is, you could get out of your office job throw on a band shirt and headbang to whatever and no one gives a shit. Also Halford gave rise to the bald metalhead in 1990.
I always found the Cherokee haircuts to be quite metal. (Edit: Mohawk? not 100% sure what’s it called)
Generally black metal band members either have long hair or shave their heads. Case in point:
Behemoth - band leader has short hair, rarely shows his hair

The punk rock mohawk is straight up awesome. I can’t pull it off anymore, sadly.
