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.
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.
Have whatever hair style you like
The punk rock mohawk is straight up awesome. I can’t pull it off anymore, sadly.
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

Behemoth - band leader generally wears some headwear that hangs down to shoulders, other band members either have long hair or shaved head.

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.
