First of all, I have never heard the term "metals" before because we aren't any different socially and are just reffered to by our names. The only difference between me and a "normal kid" is that I might wear a black Six Feet Under shirt, and my friend "The normal kid" wears a black hockey jersey.
I would also like to point out that I am not a dick and I DO give a shit about myself. If I cut myself, It is on accident and it probably fucking hurt. You are incorrectly grouping metalheads and hardcore, depressed, emo's. Even then probably only 1 out of every 100 emos has actually ever cut themselves. That percent, the kind that go all out where the guys where skirts and mesh, I would definately consider weird.
But to adress the thread, people dress like they do, because they want to. It doesn't go much deeper than that. I like a band, that bands shirt's are black, I wear them. My friend likes fast cars, so he wears a lambo shirt. Maybe I should start calling people who like fast cars "Lambos" and then make fun of them for it anf ponder why it is that they drive so fast and possibly endanger themselves and others.
So to sum up, some people probably look weird, and they may be, but who cares. and once again EMO is not the same as METAL.
