Middle-aged metal-heads are people who grew up listening to heavy metal music and still enjoy it in their middle age. They are often nostalgic about the bands, albums, concerts, and experiences they had in their youth, and they share their passion with other metal fans of their generation. Some of them also create podcasts, blogs, or social media groups to discuss and celebrate all things metal. For example, you can listen to the Middle-Aged Metal-Heads podcast, or join their Facebook group, where they talk about their favorite metal bands, songs, videos, and memories. They are proud of being part of the greatest generation of metal fans.
