Help me with a question on subtitles
I am subtitling a movie with a topic on underground rock bands to English. During a conversation between two characters, one of them mentions that their father has a "heavy band", this meaning a heavy metal band. I decided to include a gloss, and it ended like this: "He's on a heavy [metal] band."
Do you think this is well done, or with the context this scene is in it's enough for the audience to understand it without the commentary?
