The heavy metal culture is characterized by fixation with individuality and the deterioration of and opposition to the accepted social structure. .
Most metal heads belong to the middle working class society. These youngsters find their own culture to be restrictive, repressive, and constraining. The heavy metal culture is a counterculture of the standard culture. Metal heads need to stress their individualism and their freedom and their resistance to any form of social conformity. .
The heavy metal ideology is explicitly at odds with the mainstream society and rails against contemporary civilization, which is seen as sterile and banal. It is heavily critical of the existing political, cultural, social, and economic structures. It scoffs the social and cultural structure today and many times is blasphemous and it's plain to see in many of the lyrics of heavy metal songs.

One common trend among metal heads is body modification. This includes tattooing, scarification, branding, and multiple piercing. Although tattooing is common in other cultures as well, the difference lies in the patterns and the symbolism of the tattoos. In the American culture, this might be an expression of individualism and also rebellion. But in other cultures tattooing is viewed aesthetically. For metal heads the required color for clothing is black, combined with an assortment of leather, metal-spiked collars, chains, tattoos, and dark eye makeup.
