Nah dude, when I'm in that position I take it as my duty to be an advocate for metal.
There's so many genres of metal that I can almost always find something they like. Maybe they won't like Fear Factory, but maybe they'll like Nightwish or Amaranth or Alestorm. We can find out together!
It’s very intellectual. I like the bit where they go RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Maybe you'll like powermetal? I like uplifting music about fuckin dragons.
Or maybe symphonic? There's some amazing harpsichord riffs out there.
Or maybe something you can dance to? It's not all head bangers!
I’d imagine all music about fucking dragons is very uplifting
Petrodragonic Apocalypse by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is a kickass album. Both about climate change and just dragons and witches and shit.
Full title is PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. Love it.
LOL, this reminds me of my coworkers. Guy in his 50s, kids already grown up, very quiet, barely know anything about him. One time we had an event and wanted to carpool. We get all in, he turns the ignition and RAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Kind of surprised me and I learned to not assume too much.
Metal fans are chill, we use music to relieve stress and frustration
If they didn't like metal, why did they get into the car in the first place? The entire chassis is made of metal, they shoulda got back into their wooden cars!
Morgan still make cars out of wood (metal too though)
They are cool!
