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

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.

I walk around with long hair, metal shirts and denim/leather patched jackets. The metal guys find me.

Just go to a show, go up to a guy and say “hey I like your shirt” and boom you got a new friend

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😭

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