This is dismissive and rude but actually not too far from the truth. In my admittedly anecdotal experience, metalheads do tend to be more sensitive and empathetic, and borrow the power of metal for themselves, due to a feeling of powerlessness. And the feeling of connection with other metalheads is undeniable. I've flashed the horns at a couple of randoms on the street in 2 different countries, wearing Slayer and Opeth tshirts respectively, and got the smile & nod. Felt good.
Remember kids: there is no cure for tinnitus. It's your little friend for the rest of your life. Have fun, but protect your hearing so you can enjoy the music.

I mean, if I can still hear you talking when I'm blasting my metal at full volume you're annoying and you should shut it.

I like the sound of the music. Your voice? Less so

I love metal and so do some of my friends. None of us fit this stereotype because we're not jerks.

They really are a bunch of sensitive crybabies who use their taste in music as a facade for toughness. But such is true of many groups
