The Metal Fashion is inspired heavily by Biker and rocker subcultures. The fashion includes leather jackets; hi-top basketball shoes, blue or black jeans, camouflage pants, shirts, jackets or shorts, and denim jackets.
Music Branding in Recent Years has changed dramatically whereas previously music branding for different genres stayed separate and any items of clothing that you wore represented the sort of music that you liked to listen to. Now however it seems that music branding has become about whats fashionable, this means that in recent years more and more band t shirts have been sold in high street shops without any connection to the actual band. And whilst granted some people who buy the tshirts in the high street shops may like the bands the ratio of people who shop in high street shops to those who like metal music is quite unbalanced.
As well as this high street chains have taken the styles of band t shirts and clothing associated with the rock and metal genre and made their own versions in reference to Pop artists.
Here a band t shirt for Rhianna in the style of Nirvana's iconic music branding.
Similarly here a band t shirt for Beyonce in the style of Misfit's iconic music branding
Above shows the length it can go to as The Ramones music branding is a parody of the
Presidential Seal but proved so popular that people constantly take the style The Ramones adopted and use it on their own designs across a variety of genres.
And similarly here where Kanye West has used Metallicas musical branding with their iconic font and imagery.
