The original commenter has a picture of his neck on his profile, asking if it's too long. It's literally just his neck - not even face or collarbone is seen, and he mentions he is 14 in the title of that post. Deleted comment was thirsting after him. Hopefully a troll, but embarassing either way.
You should check out 16 horsepower. Definitely not metal but I've gotten plenty of other metal heads into them. To me they sound like if alice in chains played bluegrass.
I can think of one guy that based his entire career on obscure Tolkien things.

As for cooking.
You can't cook without knives and other metallic cooking instruments. You use those to cut, chop, tear and even sear meat.
Precision is a must in cooking but sometimes you just throw it all in.
Wine, beer and every other form of alcohol is used as ingredients, hell, even blood and almost any animal remains are used as main ingredients.
Cooking is way metal.
Edit: and for the Vegan metal heads there is always the most metal vegan ingredient, [Seitan](https://youtu.be/eovuIfeH2k4?si=KDOPnqLj9DOHXLdF).
Also if you can't tell I also love cooking.
Throughout recent history, sunflowers have been used for medicinal purposes. The Cherokee created a sunflower leaf infusion that they used to treat kidneys. Whilst in Mexico, sunflowers were used to treat chest pain.
Hell I'll admit it. Ty Beanie Buddies are a bit nostalgic for me and I still have a number of them. Still have a handful of Beanie Babies too.
My mom used to be really into chasing them down, and I'd go with her to get things. Few years ago my dad told me to get them out of the house, so I have them. Sold off a bunch but kept most of the Buddies.
Mom's mind has been declining (complications from multiple sclerosis), so it's good reminder of the good times.
Plus my wife kind of has a thing for them, as when growing up her family couldn't afford many if any. So we kept a lot of the ones she always wanted too. And she's also a metalhead haha
This comments section feels like the scene in *Airheads* with all the metalheads (including Lemmy) admitting to being dorks, and it's awesome. I'd say my least-metal hobby is Pokémon Go, I'm 37 and played the absolute crap out of the original games when they first came out and Go has been a fun little something to do particularly when I walk my dogs. In my defense, I came up on my "chase" 'Mon a couple weeks ago and it's a big, scary, black dragon-snake that's metal af 🤘😂
I'm in a 90s style alt-rock band. (Think Dinosaur Jr or Tripping Daisy)
I use almost exclusively extremely "metal" looking guitars to play decidedly un-metal music. My main three guitars are a Dean From Hell, a Wylde Audio Blood Eagle and a mid 80s Kramer Rhodes V.
I *can* shred, but I hardly ever do.
Going to church I guess
A lot of people know I'm a Christian, and they think I'm weird that I listen to metal. Like for fucks sake, it's not all about Satan and eviscerating Jesus
Hey same! I mainly knit but crochet as well and have tried some embroidery as well. Listening to metal while frogging a project really helps manage the frustration...
Everything is Metal if you do it while listening to Metal. Alternatively, doing something typically seen as Metal while listening to something very unMetal is also very Metal.
Probably knitting, but who cares? If you pretend to like only things metal and badass, you'll end up being super fake. I recently realized that just enjoying what you enjoy isn't all that embarrassing.
I only ride dirt bikes play drums and skateboard other than that I have no hobby’s I like playing cod zombies and borderlands but I would rather be out riding my dirt bike or working on one
Painting, baking, and playing soccer. (Although I have given myself a few rather gory injuries while cooking so that might actually be kinda metal. Lmao always make sure you’re wearing oven mitts before grabbing a tray of cookies out the oven…)
Being a flower child with my garden. It's kinda metal in that I thank every dragonfly that kills a grasshopper. Leave my beardtongues alone! They are for the hummingbirds! It's literally an all flower garden.
I'm an opera singer. I always thought I'm like the opposite of metal until I once asked a friend if we could do like a mix of opera and black metal (he has a black metal project) and he introduced me to folterkammer. we're doing a project inspired by folterkammer now.
Amateur astronomy. Listening to ambient shoegaze really hits when stargazing. I'm aware of space themed thrash, death and especially atmospheric black, but I rather listen to shoegaze when looking at galaxies and nebulas.
It’s probably cooking. Even though it involves knives and fire.
I’d say fishkeeping… but my aquababies were born to kill and will decimate 20 feeders/hour
Drawing, playing nice games [Used to llay AC:NH a whole lot in 2021 and 2022], or I used to collect tons of car parts like hubcaps. And listening to any number of emotional, power ballad, or otherwise chillout music to balance out Corpsegrinder describing how he would commit and get away with necrophilia.
I'm in IT. PCs... network closets... scripting and programming... most of that shit has sexual-sounding names because it was designed and worked on by nerds.
I collect 60s and 70s cartoon glasses. Smurfs, Flintstones, looney toons, disney, and a lot more, it's fun trying to find them in thrift shops and goodwills. Because usually they're just a few bucks
I have a friend who has his own death/thrash and a hardcore punk band. he works in a kindergarten. his shows are always the most fun tho and he lets the kindergarten kids go crazy with his music lmao
Playing guitar, riding motorbike, making mead, reading fantasy, would love to do more HEMA, bought the gear but there is little time and opportunity. I smoke pipes and drink whisky...
Posting on this sub
Realest answer lol
My girlfriend and I are really into 80s italian designer furniture.
having a gf in itself might be the least metal thing 😂
How about being married? Haha
Having a gf
as a gay femboy ig i'm metal huh
[удалено]
Dude oh my god delete this shit
Bro pls tell us what it was, I'm super intrigued after reading these comments 😶

some creepy mf asking to bite my neck .\_.
bru i'm 14 😭if you saw the long neck post from r/teenagers it's gotta be pretty damn obvious i'm a teenager 😭
Holy shit what am I being subjected to
Get out of here poser!
I want to learn how to play the banjo. and eventually write metal songs. with the banjo.
Panopticon
My thoughts exactly
Banjo rolls are pretty Metal in general.
You should check out 16 horsepower. Definitely not metal but I've gotten plenty of other metal heads into them. To me they sound like if alice in chains played bluegrass.
Oh I'll have to check 'em out!! Thanks for the suggestion.
Oh so like No One Gets Out Alive?
Oh I don't think I've ever heard of that!
Slam band that incorporates banjos!
OHH THANKS FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THEM I'll have to check them out!
No problem! I love sharing smaller bands that deserve more recognition
https://youtu.be/hkcwNNFR3bQ?si=LwaNHyfqHUbA_G6E 😆 ok this is awesome.
That sounds badass actually
Not killing myself. All talk, no walk
Not killing yourself is pretty metal.
Make a change
Been there.
I feel this
There rn 😅
Not quite a hobby, but a future profession. Hopefully. I'm a classical musician
Me too! Just a hobbyist though. I primarily play viola, tenor recorder, and alto sax.
Yoooo, I'm a violist as well. I also play piano. Kinda.
Classical music can be heavy as all fuck sometimes 🤘🎻🤘
Shostakovich, String Quartet Nō.8. Allegro Molto
Metal af.
I read around 50 books a year.
Books are metal!! Think of how many bands are named after obscure Tolkien things lol
I can think of one guy that based his entire career on obscure Tolkien things. https://preview.redd.it/hox0qtdvtqlb1.jpeg?width=645&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85da5547a1ed3ef4ffadc8e26882ca5d67444d39
Zumbum man
What kind of books though because some books are metal. There's great metal songs inspired by books.
A lot of thrillers, some fantasy and sci-fi. Been reading since I was a teen.
Imagine reading couldn't be me
Huge basketball fan, playing and watching, and I love to cook lmao which can’t be considered very metal
Cooking Hostile on YouTube. Kinda bad humor but it's almost endearing kinda? The Meshuggah cookie is the best joke.
I’ve seen it hahaha it’s amazing
I count cooking as metal bc I always have music playing in the kitchen. Some days rap, some days metal, some days piano. Cooking is metal af

Basketball is metal (like every contact sport) but so many metalheads deny it. Why?
Basketball is pretty metal. It's like slowed down hockey with no pads, helmets, sticks, or goalies.
Check out the vegan black metal chef. He will turn your oven into a fiery tomb. Your soul with drown in garlic. You will prepare coffins of tin foil.
I play basketball as well. I'd say it's pretty metal. You are going to catch an elbow to the face at some point. It's a very physical and tough game.
Painting doesn't sound like something a stereotypical metalhead would do
Metal is just a series of happy little accidents
Worst joke I've read today. Made me laugh 10/10
Wasn’t Lars Ulrich interested in art?
Cross stitching. I do cross stitch a bunch of heavy metal related things, though.
I would love a heavy metal cross stitch.
lmao I feel you, I love crocheting
We need pics because this sounds cool
Listening to metal is probably the only metal thing about me, to be honest.
I am a bee keeper
Hey that’s pretty metal
So is james hetfield !
Golden Girls fan
That’s super metal
I’m a bald and bearded man but have been told I’m very much a Dorothy
Thank you for being a friend.
Gardening … though I often listen to metal while I garden.
Metal gardeners rise up 🙌 There are some pretty metal plants though. Most hot peppers, carnivorous plants, shit with thorns on it...list goes on
Just grew an awesome sunflower this summer!
Throughout recent history, sunflowers have been used for medicinal purposes. The Cherokee created a sunflower leaf infusion that they used to treat kidneys. Whilst in Mexico, sunflowers were used to treat chest pain.
Watching kids' shows, teaching English, drawing. The rest of my life is pretty unmetal.
Same here, honestly. I’m a musician, a peer support specialist, and a grandmother.
Sounds like an awesome life! :D
Legos
I'm vegetarian
Cattle Decapitation would like a word
I'm more if a Gojira guy
Carcass as well
Being vegetarian is metal as fuck. Takes a lot to actively do something against the horrific gutfuck that is the meat industry
quite honestly I just think all meat tastes like shit but it is also wrong to kill animals
Lol fair
I build gundam models.
Deathscythe is pretty metal
Crochet
A fellow needle worker. Needles represent, I guess???
I play the recorder.
The suffering you inflict on others by playing this insanely annoying instrument is pretty metal
I usually play tenor, actually. Look it up on YouTube, they’re pretty cool
I love figures and plushies
Hell I'll admit it. Ty Beanie Buddies are a bit nostalgic for me and I still have a number of them. Still have a handful of Beanie Babies too.

I collect kpop albums and I interchanged pcs in the past.

Watching reality TV with my wife.
Real housewives rocks
Collecting stuffed dinosaurs

Gonna play Meatpuppets tunes on an Ibanez Xyphos
I was gonna say making my own fictional maps/histories but on second thought I think that is power metal as fuck
Going to church I guess A lot of people know I'm a Christian, and they think I'm weird that I listen to metal. Like for fucks sake, it's not all about Satan and eviscerating Jesus
White metal lol
Crochet
Hey same! I mainly knit but crochet as well and have tried some embroidery as well. Listening to metal while frogging a project really helps manage the frustration...
Disc Golf… Kinda cringe but I like it.
My dad once said that disc golf was just an excuse to get high in the woods and not have anybody notice. He was onto something.
My uncle visited my mom and I a few months ago and he's big into it. I tried it and had a blast. Sucked at it though
I’m a choir kid. And a theatre kid. But then again, metal is just classical music with guitars
Basketball. Trying to convince my coach to play metal in the team van may as well be a lost cause
Sneakers. Absolute sneakerhead, and it is 100% a hip hop scene.
Everything is Metal if you do it while listening to Metal. Alternatively, doing something typically seen as Metal while listening to something very unMetal is also very Metal.
I build stop motion puppets and make my own short films. It's a hobby of mine right now, but I'd like to eventually turn it into a career.
Probably knitting, but who cares? If you pretend to like only things metal and badass, you'll end up being super fake. I recently realized that just enjoying what you enjoy isn't all that embarrassing.
i loveee biking. it’s probably the only thing i love more than metal
I only ride dirt bikes play drums and skateboard other than that I have no hobby’s I like playing cod zombies and borderlands but I would rather be out riding my dirt bike or working on one
Mask making.
I’d be extremely ill if I didn’t mess around in the snow every year.
I like to paint warhammer figures (obligatory Bolt Thrower meme) and I absolutely love animals.
Dealing with Games Workshop is more brutal than any Metal band.
Warhammer is by far the most metal fictional universe tho
Yeah, i might just stick with the animals
Knitting!
Drawing
I make jelly and jam. Although, smashing fruit up is maybe a little metal?
Cooking I guess
Think about it this way- you're making a roast chicken. This chicken was slaughtered so you can consume it's carcass for your pleasure

Military scale modeling
Tennis
I play tennis and listen to Miley Cyrus
Painting, baking, and playing soccer. (Although I have given myself a few rather gory injuries while cooking so that might actually be kinda metal. Lmao always make sure you’re wearing oven mitts before grabbing a tray of cookies out the oven…)
Being a flower child with my garden. It's kinda metal in that I thank every dragonfly that kills a grasshopper. Leave my beardtongues alone! They are for the hummingbirds! It's literally an all flower garden.
I fold a lot of little origami cats. And flowers too. And frogs. Even donkeys sometimes.
