Obviously, there cannot be one set standard for a situation with as many variables at play. While some might believe that metalheads belong to a very distinct personality type, the truth is that each being has a unique genetic makeup that makes them slightly different. And, by extension, their taste in music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal fans also enjoy listening to grunge, post-grunge, classic rock, alternative rock, progressive rock, hardcore punk, punk rock, goth, jazz, hip-hop, and pop music. Some metal fans listen to metal exclusively, while other metalheads’ tastes are eclectic and enjoy music across most genres.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 1200 genres and subgenres of music out there, the possibilities are virtually infinite.

In the 1980s Seattle, the so-called grunge scene peaked its head out and greeted the world. The “murky guitar” bands became a trendy subgenre of rock music by the late 1980s and early 1990s, influenced by heavy metal and punk rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping a little of both genres, like the distorted guitars (heavy metal) and angst poetry in the form of lyrics (punk), grunge plowed its way through the world until the middle 90s. On 5 April 1994, fans mourned the death of legend Kurt Cobain from Nirvana, and eight years later, on the same date, Layne Staley from Alice in Chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best grunge experience, look for music from Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Hole, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Everclear, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Melvins, and  L7. Some notable songs in the genre are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
