I'm not an exclusively metal fan or anything... I like lots of all sorts of music and some of it includes Metallica, Iron Maiden etc... but my CD collection is crazy and all over the place, and that sort of stuff is just a minor element.
On the subject of "not fitting in with the neighbours"... I'm probably that bad or worse... I'm the only werewolf fan I know of in my circle of friends, for example. Of course now that's got me thinking in weird directions... imagine one of those whinge whinge reality shows... "My neighbour-from-hell is a werewolf! He keeps us awake howling at night every four weeks or so and he likes scaring our cat! What can we do about him?"
I collect anything music, as long as it isn't too mainstream (ie everybody has it). That plain annoys me.
I have to say, I'm also not exclusively into metal, which is also not the largest part of my collection. I like everything from classical music to orchestral, Celtic, Irish, Spanish, Latin music, etc...blues, grunge, and classic rock, some alternative like Tool and stuff but am fussy, (with all new music in fact, and fussy with metal too. I really don't like stuff that's overly heavy, like screaming and no melody). I also like some folk and country stuff. I think that all of it interconnects somehow. Even some jazz, but most jazz is full of jazz police and they are rather stuck up and don't experiment. I'm not big on music genres either. (Ie sub genres, I can't remember them all). Ooh and funk is good.
I couldn't live without music. I think I'd wither and die.
As for not fitting in, I don't really know any werewolf fans either, perhaps Maddy to a small extent, she also likes horror stuff, but otherwise, people just aren't really werewolf fans. I have a really eclectic range of interests so it's no huge deal as there's always someone I know into something I like, but it's sometimes annoying, I can't show off my werewolf figurine to anyone who cares!
My neighbours are mostly all friendly, lucky for me.
A Current Despair (A Current Affair): "Reportings of a howling person have driven neighbours up the wall."
Neighbour, with the usual haggard and tired look, done specially for this show, to gain sympathy from audience: "He just goes on and on. I can't stress enough at the complexity of the matter. He has to go. My children think hes ...."
Reporter: -Nods, as if he or she really gives a crap, is a good actor- "Go on."
Person: -Sob- "A werewolf."
Reporter: -Goes into some stupid and useless lengthy discussion on werewolf folklore and then begins insulting badly researched therianthropy and werewolf fans-
