I legitimately think one of the reasons why "Nu-metal Fashion" is making a comeback is because, like you said, it's more similar to hip-hop rather than metal or punk. Given how hip-hop is the dominant genre today, of course Nu-metal's baggy jeans, graphic tees, and chunky shoes would thrive.
Also because unlike corpsepaints or glam metal it’s easy to maintain that look. It’s basically just hip hop streetwear with zany hair/facial hair/piercings combo and band shirts
Nu-metal is so unapologetically 2000s, and I fucking love it. Don’t dress the part, but always have defended the genre throughout the years. More into hardcore and DM, but Nu-Metal undeniably rips.
I only wear band shirts, dark grey jeans, a black denim jacket with patches and 12 hole leather boots. I have long hair too. I get a lot of looks lol. Especially when they see the Cancer - Death Shall Rise backpatch
since I'm a kid until today my only attire is a black band t-shirt, shorts and sneakers. I don't see why a genre of music needs a certain clothing fashion to legitimize it tho

@@jessicafoley1435you’re focusing on something that doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. The music is what matters the most. If the musicians look boring I could care less and I think more people should care less too. People care way too much about looks when it should be the last thing on your mind and that especially counts for music.
I only ever wore corpse paint once, and that was on the 06/06/06. I mean it had to be done. I walked around all day in two bullet belts, full gauntlets and the aforementioned "slap". Was awesome.

In Japan, the symbolism of choice instead of pentagrams were swastikas. Because in Japan, the pentagram isn’t as shocking, because there are not many christians, so you get bunch of guys looking like Mötley Crü, but with swastika armbands. The bands sound more like thrash metal, with elements from both glam and early black metal. The names of the bands also follow this topic, probably the best band of them is Rosenfeld. Others are Rommel, Hakenkreuz, Mein Kampf, Gyorai (torpedo in japanese) and bunch of bands with SS at the end.
@jmagowan12 Are you saying there's nothing wrong with enjoying the company of people that look like you? Sounds kinda like what a supremacist would say. Also, in case it's not obvious, I'm taking the piss. I was once a walking stereotype too.
funny how those were introduced into subculture as means to protest war and the fact that black metalheads are 90% neonazis or at least actually misanthropic
Oddly enough, the hair bands (the early ones, at least) drew stylistic inspiration from the same source as many of the punk bands, the New York Dolls. The Dolls did it to piss people off.

80´s metal scene in Peru, with a bunch of 1.55 to 1.65 guys with short or long hair, with or without a band shirt moshing and having fun at a metal concert, thats the real spirit of metal, appereances dont matter when you love music.
I don't think of Motorhead as starting off as a Metal band, they were a Rock N Roll band that didn't sound too different from the Sonics or MC5, they did early in their career incorporate Metal into their sounds and made full fledged Metal songs (Brotherhood of Man). Lemmy attested that he felt more aligned with the Punk circles than he did with Metal circles. Otherwise, Motorhead's music was rather varied, some were also be Punk rock (R.A.M.O.N.E.S), and others were also Hard Rock (Hellraiser).
I always thought of them as a hard rock band not that different from AC/DC. A traditionalist 70s rock band (you can tell ZZ Top or even Grand Funk Railroad influences in their music) with a simpler approach and a punk twist. Having they appeared back in the early 70s, they would be considered a proto punk band like those from Detroit. But as they released their first records right after the punk explosion, they were lumped with the metal bands, because those were the ones which still openly carried early/mid 70s stylings (blues or, prog rock influences, guitar solos, long hair...). The difference between punk and metal back then wasn't exactly the one we see today. In the late 70s metal was seen as that traditional 70s hard rock offspring, contrary to punk which wanted to destroy it and somehow return to the basics. As I said before, I think you can compare Motorhead with AC/DC (and other Australian hard rock bands at the time) in that sense. AC/DC were even considered punk for a brief period of time there in Britain.
They even had a ballad, a few slow, bluesy songs and one or two upbeat pop rock songs. People often criticize Motorhead for being one dimensional, but they were more diverse than say AC/ DC or Sex Pistols. They came after the Vietnam War though, so I'm not sure the bullet belts were a topical reference. Lemmy himself had a surprising long career in music, active in the late 60s, and I don't remember any bullet belts he wore then.
Motörhead and other NWOBHM bands were british, so they were not really influenced by the Vietnam war. The aesthetics came mainly from spaghetti western movies
One of the key elements that changed the style in metal was the guy of Anthrax going bald. Then he started wearing surfer pants and there you have the early 90s onwards f.ex. like Pantera
Nah. Phil from Pantera used to have a hair metal style like shoe laces replacing the zipper on his pants and then because of New Orleans bands like Exhorder and Acid Bath he switched to the more Nola gutter punk gangster look.
Nope. Scott going bald wasn't the change there. There are tons of pictures of Anthrax in super bright "camo" style baggy pants in about 1986. In lots of those, they're at some festival with Metallica and Jason Newsted is dressed the same way (or possibly wearing Frank's pants, but no one wants to hear obscure fangirl slash theories).
Corpse paint is cool imo. I mean I wish people were less afraid of standing out, especially in metal, seems like half the time in the metal community you're either a poser or like the wrong subgenre anyways, why not just have fun and wear what you want?
its worth noticing that while in the USA average metalhead is wearing this battle vest thing and jeans, in europe average metalhead is wearing combat boots, cargo trousers and band logo shirt

At the core of it all, is the outwardly expression of discontent. Early rock got its basis in rhythm and blues. It's literally low art as opposed to symphonic or operatic high art. This is the music of the poor and working vlasses and is often an escape that appeals to every person on some level. When bands become popular, fans want to copy their aesthetic. When new bands build upon the existing ones, they copy the previous fans. Eventually, corporations get involved and market the s*** out of it all. And before you know it counterculture becomes worn by posers making it mainstream. Then people get bored and start wearing out of date or tattered old clothes to be even more rebellious and, and the cycle starts all over again. That is why fashion keeps making a comeback.

Honestly surprised there wasn’t any mention of the iron cross being a part of 80s metal fashion as part of that similarity between metal and biker culture. Well, I suppose it’s because RUclips would probably demonetize the video for something that’s not even an offensive symbol but still I wish it got a mention lol.
It’s interesting because the iron cross pretty much died off as a hate symbol and got reclaimed whereas we’ve never really recovered from the nazis stealing the swastika
The funny thing is that battlevest have battle in the name because it came from ww2 era bomberpilot jackets where later those pilots cut of the sleves and rode motorcycles, and also lemmy taking instead of using famous stuff from back in the day to band logos and such.
Metalcore kid back in the day. Metal Militia Flat Brim, AA/PWD/MMF graphic t- shirt, Super skinny denim jeans, chunky studded belt, chucks, and a wrist band or two. Thrash metal kids wore the denim vest with patches, black blank tee, camo cargo shirts, combat boots, and nasty pony/rat tails. I remember the two groups liked a lot of the same thing, but the thrash kids thought they were total hardcore badasses because they liked older metal than newer ones.
The reason why modern bands have such plain clothing is because they want to put as much emphasis on the music itself. And honestly I agree with that mentality. Sometimes the aesthetic adds to the live atmosphere, but often it's just a useless gimmick like in Sleep Token. Although there it isn't surprising since the band is full of useless gimmicks that don't add anything to the music.
This. The point about the emphasis. Also if metal is "about freedom", why shouldn't anyone in it be able to dress ordinary if they want to? I believe being or not being a conformist in many aspects of life is not about performing a certain action but about the reasons for doing it. So if you dress how you want, why is it bad of you just because most people dress the same? It doesn't mean you try to be like them, you just happen to like same things.
I'm all for letting people wear whatever, having to 'fit in' to the uniform of a subculture is lame. a big fan of aesthetics though. Botanist is a band I'd love to see perform live from a botanical garden the way they dress, I love the monk robes and flowers.
fun fact this is the 666th comment on this vid. way cooler than first. metal fashion in the 2010s and forward is strongly inspired by emo fashion and then street wear, I don't think it's stagnated as much as it's all gotten a bit confusing due to all the different scenes and the fact that there's just so much that's inspiring metal bands today. I think hip hop is once again quite a large influence today, and hip hop has been taking a lot of cues from metal in the last few years too.
I've started to like hevay metal when people started wearing shirts with metal bands without knowing anything about the band and i decided to buy a AC/DC shirt and i've been called poser by many people even tho i could somewhat answer their questions about metal bands
New York Doll Johnny Thunders is The reason for many 80s Glam Metalheads/hairbands use that hairstyle, as well new york dolls and the androgynous thing
Current Metal and punk fashion is basically fashion for tough guys that are afraid to be called "queer". A lot of dudes weren't comfortable with the flamboyance of early glam rock resulting in satanic metal fashion with Venom and Judas Priest leading to late 80's glam fashion and Black metal fashion as well as the tangentially related horror punk fashion and emo fashion that evolved from the English 70's punk rock fashion. The close cousin of satanic metal fashion is the biker metal fashion that is frequently associated with the Great Lemmy and the Motorhead aesthetic that influenced the American thrash metal dudes who ditched the spikes and leather fashion increasingly associated with glam dudes like Motley Crue but managed to keep the denim and black fashion alive through the 90's hidden under a cloak of flannel with utilitarian leather wallets chained to their belts in place of the S&M influenced fashion accessories from England that seemed superfluous and foreign in the American scenes that initially claimed to be above fashion or anti-fashion but rather replaced the shock factor of satanic metal fashion and early English punk rock fashion with the working class aesthetic and skater fashion that made household names out of brands like Vans, Dickies, and Von Dutch resulting in the tough guy metal biker emo black and tattoos horror fashion filled with pseudo-satanic imagery that is more often than not described as Punk/Metal fashion currently.

*watches this in my 10 year old ‘Death’ t-shirt I got as an edgy kid*
Today's the day Sleep Token finally gets mentioned in a coolea video. I can finally escape.
Honestly surprised there wasn’t any mention of the iron cross being a part of 80s metal fashion as part of that similarity between metal and biker culture.
Well, I suppose it’s because RUclips would probably demonetize the video for something that’s not even an offensive symbol but still I wish it got a mention lol.
It’s interesting because the iron cross pretty much died off as a hate symbol and got reclaimed whereas we’ve never really recovered from the nazis stealing the swastika
With missing some key points and realy "new york dolls" etc. This is the most accurate description and this channel is awesome 👌
The funny thing is that battlevest have battle in the name because it came from ww2 era bomberpilot jackets where later those pilots cut of the sleves and rode motorcycles, and also lemmy taking instead of using famous stuff from back in the day to band logos and such.
This couldn't be less relevant, but that sleeping kitten drooling everywhere is the cutest fkn thing I've seen in ages 🤣
That marked me too
Well, at least some bands in the japanese metal scene still put an effort on their clothes...
Metalcore kid back in the day. Metal Militia Flat Brim, AA/PWD/MMF graphic t- shirt, Super skinny denim jeans, chunky studded belt, chucks, and a wrist band or two. Thrash metal kids wore the denim vest with patches, black blank tee, camo cargo shirts, combat boots, and nasty pony/rat tails. I remember the two groups liked a lot of the same thing, but the thrash kids thought they were total hardcore badasses because they liked older metal than newer ones.
Hopelessly addicted to the music goblin's content slop 😔
"as Thrash begun slowly morph into Nu Metal through various auditory mistakes..."
that sentence made me a subscriber
Missed opportunity to have the dave mustaine jumpscare gif
The reason why modern bands have such plain clothing is because they want to put as much emphasis on the music itself. And honestly I agree with that mentality. Sometimes the aesthetic adds to the live atmosphere, but often it's just a useless gimmick like in Sleep Token. Although there it isn't surprising since the band is full of useless gimmicks that don't add anything to the music.
It's their style, like slipknot. It doesn't add or take away from the music
singing about murder in a clean shirt is weird.
Useless gimmicks, that helped making them as big as they are.
This. The point about the emphasis. Also if metal is "about freedom", why shouldn't anyone in it be able to dress ordinary if they want to? I believe being or not being a conformist in many aspects of life is not about performing a certain action but about the reasons for doing it. So if you dress how you want, why is it bad of you just because most people dress the same? It doesn't mean you try to be like them, you just happen to like same things.
I'm all for letting people wear whatever, having to 'fit in' to the uniform of a subculture is lame. a big fan of aesthetics though. Botanist is a band I'd love to see perform live from a botanical garden the way they dress, I love the monk robes and flowers.
Thanks for the fashion tips /mu/
fun fact this is the 666th comment on this vid. way cooler than first.
metal fashion in the 2010s and forward is strongly inspired by emo fashion and then street wear, I don't think it's stagnated as much as it's all gotten a bit confusing due to all the different scenes and the fact that there's just so much that's inspiring metal bands today. I think hip hop is once again quite a large influence today, and hip hop has been taking a lot of cues from metal in the last few years too.
I love the glam scene!
As a thrasher metalhead i tend to dress more akin led zeppelin but slightly more leather clad.
Best fashion in the scene : thrash /black /speed crossover with a bit of punk 😎
Whenever Coolea releases a video, I imagine him as a hairy primary school lunch lady slapping down a stereotypical scoop of slop onto my lunch tray.
I just throw old school thrash, early sabbath, hardcore punk, grunge, and redneckish fashion together lmao
He forgot to talk about Joakim Broden's sheet metal muscle tanktop

guthalax fashion: throw your clothes into a septic tank and fish them out an hour before the festival
Also of Thrash/Speed metal look, shirts have their sleeves cut off
Lmaoooo I’m the person in corpse paint in the very beginning! 😂
I've started to like hevay metal when people started wearing shirts with metal bands without knowing anything about the band and i decided to buy a AC/DC shirt and i've been called poser by many people even tho i could somewhat answer their questions about metal bands
Coolea isnt pregnant but always delivers
2:20 Corpsegrinder windmilling always catches me off guard 😂
Love your videos bruv always short and sweet. Appreciate you
Lmao the random meme clips you add into your videos always crack me up, specifically 4:15 😭
As a death metal fan I got the easiest style. I just wear a camo cargo shorts and a band t-shirt everyday lol
get well soon poseur
Rob Halford still looks great in leather.
New York Doll Johnny Thunders is The reason for many 80s Glam Metalheads/hairbands use that hairstyle, as well new york dolls and the androgynous thing
Current Metal and punk fashion is basically fashion for tough guys that are afraid to be called "queer". A lot of dudes weren't comfortable with the flamboyance of early glam rock resulting in satanic metal fashion with Venom and Judas Priest leading to late 80's glam fashion and Black metal fashion as well as the tangentially related horror punk fashion and emo fashion that evolved from the English 70's punk rock fashion. The close cousin of satanic metal fashion is the biker metal fashion that is frequently associated with the Great Lemmy and the Motorhead aesthetic that influenced the American thrash metal dudes who ditched the spikes and leather fashion increasingly associated with glam dudes like Motley Crue but managed to keep the denim and black fashion alive through the 90's hidden under a cloak of flannel with utilitarian leather wallets chained to their belts in place of the S&M influenced fashion accessories from England that seemed superfluous and foreign in the American scenes that initially claimed to be above fashion or anti-fashion but rather replaced the shock factor of satanic metal fashion and early English punk rock fashion with the working class aesthetic and skater fashion that made household names out of brands like Vans, Dickies, and Von Dutch resulting in the tough guy metal biker emo black and tattoos horror fashion filled with pseudo-satanic imagery that is more often than not described as Punk/Metal fashion currently.
brother I like the first half of your comment, but unfortunely the lack of punctuation makes it difficult to read the second half
Power metal be like: I am a video game addict\obsessed bookworm \movie junkie who has a phd in some useless lore and was bullied in highschool
As a metalhead, my wardrobe contains: Tons of band shirts, one leather jacket, some random pants and boots.
i feel like i have to be an expert on metal even though i wouldn’t listen to it. (i need to make metal based oc’s.)
As a Metalhead with a battle vest and band patches all over like Revocation, Megadeth, Dying Fetus, Coldworld, In Flames, Arch Enemy, and many more including a Black Dahlia Murder back patch, and a Goth Rock button up shirt yeuh..
Love how spot on this is. Great video
I love the way you edit
We need to bring back gay ppl into metal and metal fashion
