From Spinal Tap to StrangerThings, why are stories still using heavy metal to depict rebellion?
It's an image synonymous with 2022: Joseph Quinn as Eddie Munson sticking his tongue out, making crazy eyes and the devil horns with his two fingers in the premiere episode of Season 4 of Stranger Things during the lunchroom scene. He jumps up on a table, goes into a loud diatribe about "forced conforming," and reduces basketball to a "ball and laundry baskets" game.
A Brief History of Heavy Metal The answer may be in the origins of metal itself. Inspired by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, and frustrated by the economic disempowerment in their hometown, came Black Sabbath, credited as the first metal band. Black Sabbath differed in that their sound was louder and literally more "metal," as a tribute to the industrial backdrop in their hometown of Birmingham, England.
Despite where one stood as a metal fan, one thing rang true through each subgenre: Metal was loud, larger than life, and competitive. Each iteration of metal aimed either to be faster than the one before it or more bombastic, theatrical, and impossible to ignore. Each subgenre was a parent's worst nightmare and, therefore, a teenager's dream.
