Are young women getting into heavy metal?
Between Poppy and even Halsey doing an industrial metal song it seems like more and more young women are making metal music. I’m an old Gen Xer and this wasn’t at all the case in the 80s and 90s. The only one I sort of remember is Holy Moses, they had an excellent woman vocalist back in the 1990s. And if Courtney Love hadn’t done Grunge and instead went full metal she would’ve had an awesome voice for it.
Has anyone else noticed this trend? And for those who are Gen Z, do you notice some Gen Z women listening to metal? I was just at an Iron Maiden/Megadeth show and it was basically all older folks. The youngest ones were Millenials in their 30s and it was 85% dudes. Great show though!
