Metal and the internet.
What makes the two go so well together?
I honestly have no clue why (almost) everyone on the net listens to Metal. I'm not saying it's bad music, I'm just wondering why it's the most popular genre on the internet.
And I'm not really looking for "metal is da best" answers, I'm just interested in hearing why you listen to metal. I, myself, don't really listen to metal at all, apart from an occasional song I like (that rarely happens >_>), I'm more of a trance/dance type of person :v

Most of the social websites like facebook to me seem to be dominated with mainstream hip-hop/r'n'b lovers.
Sites like newgrounds is mostly techno.
And Toribash, well metal, I'd say.
Just from my personal experience.
I agree on the first 2, but Toribash's metal? It's so goddamn widespread here.
Also, people who like metal are usually social outcasts, sometimes angry ones, and they like the "lonely socializing" that the internet provides. I experienced this during my childhood, when I tried too hard to be different by listening to metal. Most people I know of that liked metal moved on to other things, such as electro - rock, stuff. On the internet, you can usually be accepted for liking Ladytron instead of crappy rage-metal, and vice versa.
In short, if you're trying to be alternative, going to the internet is the perfect place.
EDIT: I did some other edits, but firefox lagged and I lost it. I'll probably post again if I can remember what it was.

Really depends on what type of people you hang out with.
E.g. If you chat with a pack of angsty teenagers with daddy issues (daddy hugged them to much/to little) they will probably be into metal. On the flipside, if you chat with the more intellectually inclined people you would normally find that they are into classic rock.
