    There’s the old joke that metalheads are nice people pretending to be mean, while hippies are mean people pretending to be nice.

      I don’t know about hippies, but this comic is pretty accurate for Metalheads (except many times we also take stupid grimace fotos xD):

        Seeing as you know about Nemi, I’m guessing you’re also aware of this, but I’m leaving it for others to see: https://youtu.be/bY6LKydHgWY

        I’ve met the guy in the commercial, and he is indeed a metalhead.

          Haha, it’s been a while since I last saw that! Thanks for bringing it back 🤘🏻

          And since I’ve been learning Swedish lately, I can now almost understand that Norwegian. Here’s my guess:

          Ikke alle liker at det går så fort hos oss.

          which means “Not all like that it’s going so fast with us.”, so it would make sense for the video xD

          Can you confirm or correct that?

            Correct. Swedish and Norwegian are similar enough that Norwegian dialects alone are more different.
