Death Metal fans are percieved as incredibly violent, but actually are usually super nice…unless you give them a reason to get super violent. Then they’re super violent.
But after they get done lynching you, they’ll stop for coffee and tea and discuss politics and comunity news.
They’re only perceived as incredibly violent by religious old people… Death metal (and most other heavy music) fans are generally seen as nice people, because it’s true and has ever only been so. Same goes for horror movie nuts etc.
I actually find it odd to see a comment like yours here, it’s such a well known thing that religious, conservative and mostly old people get bent out of shape and make a huge fuss about any new and/or, from their view, extreme thing. It’s been the same for centuries.
Before death metal they said the same about metal, before that it was rock, hip hop, pop music, jazz etc.
Same with how every new generation is seen as lazy, disrespectful, dumb etc. which we have texts about from thousands of years ago.
As said, I’m very surprised to see a comment like yours here. And it seems like you think you have a liberal (in the word definition meaning, not the current political one) and/or at least open minded view, but it’s actually not that at all. My 80yo grandmother has a more truthful and accepting view than what you seem to have.
I do think you were partially very clumsy with your words though, at least I hope so, but even with that in mind it’s still surprising to see a view like this from someone in any place like here.
When I can afford a meal at a restaurant that has servers? Generally 20% AND I bus my own table regardless.
I went to a new, delightfully gay hairdresser recently who spent two hours on my own personal episode of Queer Eye for the Less Queer Guy. You bet your little bippy I tipped that man 25% and scheduled a cleanup appointment.
Allegedly true of country music fans too. That Venn diagram isn’t quite a circle, but it’s close.

“They’re nice when they’re not mean.” is a pretty bad take.
Personally, the only thing that causes me to go from “nice” to “mean” is intolerance or abuse.
Its not “nice when they aren’t mean.” It’s “nice until they/their community are legitimately threatened.”

But do you tip generously?

The person describing death metal fans never said they were a death metal fans.
