really simple question, which out of these do you prefer?
1. metalhead:
you all know this: band shirts, denim, black leather, metal, spikes, chains and of course the gloves of metal.. mostly not crackerjack clothes lmao.
2. gothic:
morbid, somber, mostly black stuff, jewelery, really long coats, huge black boots, generally what a vampire would dress like.
3. regular- regular, crackerjack clothes, the stuff most people would wear.
out of the list i choose regular as i don't wear my band shirts that often, and other than those i have no other accessory that links to metal music
i would have included more options but i know only very few people around here dress other than this. if it's not in those 3 categories, i put an "other" option but remember to still answer the question.
same shit in Latvia to I would say even more dangerose to be metalhead how in Rus, ppl are clos emindet moorons , those low mindet degredated alcoholics and others ....
Your opinion is based on what you've seen and experienced in one region - the one where there's the highest concentration of people who don't like anything (like job) or anyone (starting with metalheads and rappers, ending with different nationalities, including Latvians themselves), so that's quite understandable you didn't like it there (me neither), but don't you dare to say it's like that in the rest of Latvia as well. Of course, there are streets and regions in many cities and towns that I wouldn't like to cross at night (alone), but it's not because I think I look so weird that someone's going to do something to me; I'm generally just looking out for my safety.
People here mostly don't care who you are. If you look differently, they'll look at you, maybe say something behind your back or have a laugh, but they won't come up to you and start a fight... unless, of course, we're speaking of a particular subculture (I don't think there's any culture there, though) that really seems to enjoy beating up random people and eating sunflower seeds all day long.

Rīga is the capital city, there are unsafe regions and a bunch of bad people like in any other (rather) big city or town. Aizkraukle and Koknese = both in the region I mentioned. I wouldn't want to live there, that's for sure, but I also haven't heard or experienced anything of what you've said. Seems quite impossible, that is, if we're still talking of clothes. Sure, there are people shooting others for eating popcorn too loud and there are crazy wives, sons and husbands who butcher each other for no apparent reason from time to time, but asides from public humiliation and beating up - and that's what a kid who's "different" could experience - I cannot think of anything else (worse) that someone would experience because of the way he/she is dressing.

Well, I have some friends with long hair (I know at least two guys who have hair as long as mine) and they seem to have no problems with the locals. They've met urlas, of course, but apart from that (the experience is always negative no matter what has or hasn't happened)... one of the guys actually enjoys being in public transport as weird as it may sound. He says it's the only place where he can read his book without any interruptions, heh.
Maybe you're talking of a different time like... ten years ago? I'd (maybe) get it if you looked like some black-metaller with some nasty accessories that old aunts wouldn't like, but as far as I have seen (and understood), you don't look that extreme or horrid... or whatever. I carry around a miniature Latvian flag (a ribbon) and nothing has happened to me - that should make one more angry than the fact that I'm looking like a metalhead.
Wtf is elevator music?????? something with melodies that continously ascend and descend?
In America usually a very boring rendition of classic Jazz.

I wear a combination of stereotypical metalhead stuff (bullet belts, band t-shirts, the occasional leather bracer, etc) with a little bit of goth and punk added.
I usually wear black t-shirts (or band t-shirts, which are usually black)
Dark blue jeans, sometimes torn up
Black steel-toed boots
And a Black Japanese Goth/Punk Rock Jacket (Japanese being it's J-punk style and imported from Japan) with a bunch of pins on it, and hopefully in the future a few choice band patches (haven't gotten around to getting some and putting them on).
Thinking about getting a trench coat as well.

Sometimes in metal they have called me:
The Minneapolis Metal Music Examiner -I write articles on metal in the MN area for Examiner.com
The Metal Detector -A history of digging up old forgotten metal bands
Thrash Master -Famous for my Walls O' Thrash
While my father encourages me, my mother refuses to take me anywhere because of the I way I like to dress. I'm way into 60s and 70s culture, so I typically rock the Janis Joplin glasses, beads and psychedelic necklaces and shirts, etc.
I dress regular, and wear band T-shirts only in concerts. I never had the urge to dress as a metalhead, and I feel I'm too "old" for it anyway. Maybe if I were a metalhead as a teenager, I would have weared metal clothes then. Most people are surprised when they hear that I'm a metalhead, maybe they still think all of us wear only black all the time
