This document summarizes and compares the hippie and metalhead subcultures. It describes the origins and values of the hippie movement in the 1960s-1970s United States, which protested social injustices through nomadic communes and natural, colorful styles of dress. Meanwhile, the heavy metal subculture formed in the same era and centered around a masculine community that valued authenticity through distinctive styles like band t-shirts, jeans, and metal hand gestures. Both subcultures created exclusive identities that rebelled against mainstream culture.

7. METALHEADS

8. History
• Heavy metal fans have created a "subculture of alienation" with its own
standards for achieving authenticity within the group. They formed an
exclusionary youth community which was distinctive and marginalized
from the mainstream society. The heavy metal developed a strongly
masculine community with shared values, norms, and behaviors. A code of
authenticity is central to the heavy metal subculture.

9. STYLE
Fans from the heavy metal culture
often make the "Corna" hand-signal
formed by a fist with the pinkie and
index fingers extended, known
variously as the “devil’s horns”, the
“metal fist” and other similar
descriptors.
