Allegedly true of country music fans too. That Venn diagram isn’t quite a circle, but it’s close.

Death Metal fans are percieved as incredibly violent, but actually are usually super nice.......unless you give them a reason to get super violent. Then they're super violent.

But after they get done lynching you, they'll stop for coffee and tea and discuss politics and comunity news.

"They're nice when they're not mean." is a pretty bad take.

Personally, the only thing that causes me to go from "nice" to "mean" is intolerance or abuse.

Its not "nice when they aren't mean." It's "nice until they/their community are legitimately threatened."

But do you tip generously?

When I can afford a meal at a restaurant that has servers? Generally 20% AND I bus my own table regardless.

I went to a new, delightfully gay hairdresser recently who spent two hours on my own personal episode of Queer Eye for the Less Queer Guy. You bet your little bippy I tipped that man 25% and scheduled a cleanup appointment.

The person describing death metal fans never said they were a death metal fans.

I'm in the middle of watching the Some More News episode about Stephen Miller, and it's the first thing I thought of seeing the post

That was quite an episode. Something is very wrong with that man.

Anyone caught throwing trash on the ground should have their voting rights suspended till after the nearest election. If somebody is so lazy and has so little regard for their local community - does anyone seriously believe they care about the whole country?
