You go to shows. And join online groups of the subgenres.

Look up small venues in your area, see who's playing and check out their band pages, and go

Hahaha "It's like finding a pokemon"!

Soooo it was a rhetorical question, since pokemon, just like metalheads, pop up anywhere and everywhere in populated areas?

We’re everywhere, we just don’t always wear our concert t-shirts or display tattoos, especially in corporate environments. Try socializing more and finding out what music people are into.

Sometimes you could strike up a conversation in the smoking/break area if you hit up a concert at a smaller venue.

PSA: If you do this, please don't take up cigarette smoking.

u/cheated_polygraph 18d ago

It's kind of like when you realize a bro has your kind of humor - you'll be hanging and realize bro is a metalhead and it's like you found an endangered species thought extinct, but then you go to a concert and you're surrounded by that species somehow😭

u/Living_Nail_8468 18d ago
