That's why I stopped listening to metal. Too hot in the summer.

Just listen to ska in the summer and metal the rest of the year
Funk, it's basically thrash but with a wah pedal. And more purple shirts. And black people 👍
I listen to funk in September, metal in October and November, Christmas songs in December, and Irish music in March.
I like the punk end of ska; or maybe it's the ska end of punk....
So long and thanks for all the shoes…
That's called third-wave ska, also called ska punk.
It wasn't the end of ska because arguably there's been a fourth wave since then

Just paint your metal white and your problem will be solved.
Yes! I agree 100%. That's why I buy non black tshirts nowadays. These are the latest acquisitions:
Preach, I quit black metal t shirts ten years ago and haven't looked back. Unless of course there is no other option, or the colour is particularly crap
White is not very flattering to the average metalhead figure, and also does not hide spilled beer
Is it weird that I just thought about white goth aesthetic as a parallel to those all white PC builds? I don't think I've seen 'white goth theme' done before and am kinda curious if it would look good.
You're close. Not 'white goth'...
Pastel Goth:
Arguably many variants of the older, harajuku gothic lolita style can/have also been done in primarily white or lighter colors.
This is a more modern dress and pic, but I think you could find examples of similar going back to at least the 90s:
... there's also now... clown core, and clown goth, but ... just no, nope, you're gonna have to personally choose to look for that, I'm not just gonna force you to see it.
EDIT:
I suppose if we carry forward trends in PC case styling... to fashion... well, we would somehow have to end up with dresses or suits with wood grain pattern elements or accents.
... Not sure if that exists yet.
Can you make a ruffled fringe out of wood, lol?
Or like, wood grain patterned corset, you know, the trunk?
Leaf ears instead of cat ears?
Ok, pretty sure I'm delerious, time for bed now.

White metal, the ultimate underground you haven't heard of yet, you poser
I think that's called Pantera
Dammit, that got me lol. That's a literal lol right there. Fuck me, that was a good one
That's not the problem, since she is hot anyway.
I have a colleague who’s into metal. Always wears a band shirt, always in black. As you’d expect. Except on VERY rare days where she runs out of those or if it’s indeed just too hot to wear black.
It’s downright jarring to see her in anything except black. Looks like a completely different person.
I do imagine it’s nice to be a female metal fan. Never have to worry about what to wear or what colors to match 😂

Lets engineer a shirt that looks black in the visible spectrum but is white in everything else.
You could do that, unfortunately solar irradiance is highest in the visible spectrum.

Even if it's not about the heat, I want some diversity. Black gets boring at one point, so I get other colours any time I can.
I don't know. I wear black, pastel black, broken black, dark black and 50 shades of black. Plenty of options.
Agreed!
For variety, I sometimes switch it up with charcoal, ebony, or obsidian.
But for special occasions I'll break out the soulcrusher's Vantablack.
Anarchists at a summer protest: "WHY DID WE CHOOSE BLACK?! WHYYYYY"
Nah, it's a lifestyle, I'm committed
the only white shirt metalheads have is reserved for the next GWAR concert

Why does she look like a render from a 2010 era game? Took me a while to figure out it's an actual photograph.
Looks like the sign is shopped, so it makes the rest of it look weird with the contrast.
I have a old Sucide Silence shirt that is the depiction of a nude woman covered with long hair hugging a skeleton that is white.
No, we suffer in black
My brother used to have a white kreator shirt
So... Aesthethica by Liturgy?
I have a neon blue Cattle Decapitation tank with a bright yellow logo, love that shirt.
I was very relieved by the end of that sentence.
