Off the top of my head...Cradle of Filth, Dark Funeral, The Black Dahlia Murder (death metal), Theatres des Vampires, Anorexia Nervosa, Graveworm, Moonspell, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Old Man's Child, As Blood Runs Black (death metal).

Other metal bands that aren't black metal that I like are, Sepultura, Slayer, Soulfly, Pantera, Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse.

I like my music blasphemous, dark, and fast. 

I love both Anorexia Nervosa and Behemoth.

I mostly listen to metal, I like death, black, grindcore and I listen to alot of doomy stuff like old Katatonia but I also like non metal stuff, I even have a couple of Lady Gaga songs on my iPod. I don't care, if I like it i'll listen to it.

Other bands I like: Anaal Nathrakh, Draconian, Nile, Napalm Death, Type O Negative, Amon Amarth, Darkthrone...

ah those funny labels. I never really labeled myself, but other people have. I got called emo/scene when my hair was longer but I think I'm more of a mutt.

I have snake bites, but I alternate wearing 1 2 or none, I do want my eyebrow pierced tho, and I was thinking of working on gauges again.
I have 2 tattoos now, just got one yesterday with my best friend as her birthday present, so now I have 2 on my forearm working on a sleeve.
I wear anything that I think I can pull off, which is a wide variety. I used to wear alot of skinny jeans, but moved on to more slim straightleg fitted jeans. And of course I have my collection of band t's and v necks.
Music...METAL (well I love all kinda of music but i love tearing sh*t up with my metal) Bring Me The Horizon, Suicide Silence, Emmure, Parkway Drive..just to name a few, which I was lucky enough to get to see all of them at Warped Tour last summer and definitely hit up the mosh pits! I'm also into Indie alot tho, Bright Eyes or Connor Oberst in general, Jack Johnson, Kimya Dawson, DeathCab

cool thread

I wanna join the party!

Let's see what kind of crazy stuff I've done to my body... My hair has been all sorts of colors but I usually keep it in black now. I've got snake bites, my tongue pierced, like four piercings in each ear with the lobes stretched to 0g, and my industrial done. I used to have my eyebrow pierced but I took it out cause it wasn't healing right. Tattoos... I've got a nautical star on each wrist and a dragon that takes up most of my left forearm. Still need to get it colored and I'm eventually making it into a sleeve whenever I have money.

This is my arm right after it was done.

I'm seeing them in April too.  Hope they do a little tour soon as the Mad Gear and Missile Kid. Haven't seen them in small clubs and I'm pretty stoked for this one.

Purple hair sounds awesome. It'll go well with the new album concept

Back in 09 (I think) I saw them at the Roxy in Hollywood. Awesome show and you could only get in from winning tix on the radio or knowing someone so there wasn't that many people in an uber small location so it was totally perfect. 

Former punk guy here but I am a Hollister guy now these days, I never woulda seen that one coming in a million years. I had 13 piercings but took a few out and now have 8 piercings 3 tats and my favorite concert was MCR.

Right well. It's been awhile since I posted, but here's as good a place as any. Lets see....I'm somewhere, on the spectrum between Goth and Visual Kei.

When I can be botherd to get all fancy (which isn't often these days) I look like my icon. Right now though my hair needs re-dying and I haven't been in the mood. have about 4 holes in me, and I plan on a tat after surgery.

That's about it.

Sweet. I love Type O.

I mostly listen to industrial (dark electro). Psyclon Nine, Alien Vampires, Unter Null, Suicide Comando, Velvet Acid Christ, Otto Dix, (Rotersand, VNV Nation - kinda future pop) etc.

I like Dr. Steel too, he's steampunk kooky industrial hip hop. It's weird haha.

Whoa I'd love to see them in small clubs like that or at least get in the first row . Lucky you!

It's nice to see this thread...I sometimes feel a little out of place around other trans guys style-wise, at least the guys I've met in person.   

I know what you mean. Seems "alternative" means drawing attention to yourself in some cases and a lot of guys I'm sure are content to just wear cargo pants and tshirts and fit in with all the other "normal" guys.

I know, I know, all you metalbros will probably bite my head off for linking to that song. The song is, to me, the soundtrack of summer, of dipping feet into water, of taking off your shoes and walking barefoot in the grass, of lying on the jetty, listening to the waves...

I guess my "look" is "casual goth". Longcoat, big boots, black clothes, band tees. I'm too lazy/fashion-idiot to do anything cool to my hair. I would love to be able to pull off the Clockwork Orange droogie fashion, as I think it looks super cool (and I know a bit of Russian, so I could govoreet the nadsat pretty horrorshow, O my brothers).

I know what you mean.  I don't enjoy drawing attention to myself for the most part, but I do like having a style.  That was one of the reasons I thought I couldn't possibly be ftm for a while.  Usually, I just wear skinny jeans, combat boots, and old t-shirts.  I used to have a bunch of piercings, but I had to take them out for work.  I love weird hair colors, but I haven't dyed my hair lately because I'm too lazy to keep up with it.  Otherwise I'd have blue hair with black streaks.

Some people who know I'm FTM give me questioned look because I don't fit in super short hair- cargo pants- macho acting transguy type thing. Its like "Are you really ftm? I don't see it". Once I got rejected from a doc because of that I guess. He called me 'sweetie' at the end of exam told me to come back a year later which I didn't. I do feel pressure to get my hair cut and stop wearing makeup to 'prove' that I am a guy to these people, but I'm gay and artist

There seems to be a complete lack of alt girls here at susans, so can i hang out here? At least that way I can chat about industrial, power electronics and all that kind of stuff. Please, can I, can I? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease

Helena, dear, do you like Skinny Puppy? Throbbing Gristle? Foetus? Einstürenze Neubauten? Namedrop some bands you like! Girls with my kind of music taste seems to be very rare indeed...

The more the merrier, I say!

I'm an absolutely huge Haujobb fan, I also like artists like Stendeck, Empusae, Flint Glass and other dark ambient/ambient industrial acts. I also really love This Morn' Omina. Heard of all those acts, but after i got into industrial I started rapidly leaning towards the more ambient stuff. I'm also partial to a bit of Combichrist, Covenant and Velvet Acid Christ when i'm in the mood.

Where do you guys and girls discover music? What I listen hasn't changed so long and I want to explore. I listen to New order, Smashing Pumpkins, Bjork, Bauhaus, My Chem, Pet Shop Boys, Pulp, Blur, Suede, The Smiths etc.
Any suggestions? If any of you have a list that'd be greatly appreciated. Could be a good trans or ambient radio station or list of your fav bands

Often I rely on my friends to point me to some new music.

I really liked the last Weezer album. The last Madina Lake album wasn't bad. A friend gave me the New Politics album and that's ok - totally different style of rock but it grew on me. Another friend told me about Sleigh Bells - nice you if like noisy alternative stuff. Muse is always a good choice. I have all their albums and finally saw them live last year. Jet is ok ... I have a couple of their albums.

Most everything else rock-wise I listen to is much harder than 80's/90's and Brit Pop stuff you listed. I like a lot of black and death metal

I guess I'm pretty alternative in my own right- most of my clothes are black on top of other things. I wear a ton of dramatic jewelry as well as costumes when I'm in the mood too, I have at least three different neon-coloured hair extensions, and I listen to a lot of foreign and fan-created (Vocaloids and Utauloids, mainly) music alongside stuff like My Chemical Romance and Slipknot. Thank you, art class, for getting me caught up in this stuff. 

Plus, I have gotten comments about my writing before since I spell some words in a different way than everyone around me does- not sure if that counts as alternative, though. ^^::

Also- I have a semi-crush on David Bowie.

Partypoison, try out these: PJ Harvey, Love and Rockets, The Velvet Underground, Faith and the Muse, Portishead, Joy Division, Robert Johnson And Punchdrunks.
