Oh yeah, even a lot of the “tr0o kvlt” black metal bands are firmly tongue in cheek, just look at Darkthrone, Aura Noir and Immortal, or even Venom if you want to go way back.
And in my 25 or so years in the metal scene, 90% of the people I’ve met are just absolute goofballs.
absolute goofballs
Rofl god yes. So much ridiculous goofyness that people get up to at festivals, gigs and pubs. The metal events in particular had a far goofier vibe with sillier behaviour compared to something like the punk gigs where you could reasonably expect all the punks to be on drugs by the end of the night or the emo gigs where half the pub would be empty halfway through as they always went home early.
Metal dudes just wanted to “be metal”, which itself meant to behave somewhat ridiculously.
