Why do metalheads wear black?
« on: May 10, 2008, 02:24:01 AM »

Hi.

I sometimes get strange questions from my students. I got this one yesterday, and I couldn't find a good answer. Do you know why metalheads favour black?    icon_smile

It's because Darth Vader wore black. As I'm sure you're aware, Darth was the universe's first ever metaller (even though his self composed Imperial March theme tune isn't quite what we known and love as metal nowadays - what do you expect though? It was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away).

Watch the documentary "Star Wars" that was discovered in the late seventies if you don't believe me. Pre-dates Sabbath by thousands of years.

I'm wearing a blue shirt right now, actually.
But only because all my black shirts are in the wash.

I used to own a yellow Judas Priest t-shirt but I lost it at Day of Darkness...

I miss it.

Because black represents the inner turmoil and darkness of my forever blackened soul.

It's pretty good at hiding curry stains too...

There's a curry house near me and the sign outside says : Try Our Curries You'll Never Get Better!


Where else does one drop curry but on one's front...

Because it matches my mighty axe that I use for killing Christians, maiming posers and slicing my ridiculously huge steaks made of solid steel that only a true metal stomach can handle.

Does that mean that by eating their curries, you'll get an endless illness?

I'm wearing black because it was the first shirt I grabbed this morning. I actually only have one black work shirt. Most the rest are blue or white, or both. Many of my t-shirts are black, though. My pants are kind of gray-ish.

Why are we talking about clothes?
