Here I will compile all of my research for my academic dissertation.
My chosen subject, like it wasn't already obvious, is metal culture and its themes, identities and its global influences. My aim is to research these aspects of metal culture and produce my own Graphic Design projects that are influenced by this research.
I have chosen this topic due to a personal interest in the subject, and that I would like to know more about the music that has influenced my own lifestyle choices.

Women like what?
Generally, women who consider themselves metalheads, like genres such as Heavy Rock, Black, Death, Goth, Folk and Symphonic metal. This would be usually the case due to the fact that the content within the songs are more emotional, tell stories or talk about sensitive topics such as religion. Female metahleads, as a whole, tend to avoid genres like thrash metal due to the tradition of it being a boys club, and it still holds very sexist views towards women.
Romantic:
Despite bands attracting a lot of female fans with songs they they actually LIKE, the Death Metal band, Anal Cunt recorded a WHOLE album called Picnic of Love was released as a joke and a parody of love songs.
Which is obviously sarcasm on their part!! Still, rather funny though.
