Oh ok shit for brains: Ideology fuckin translates to the science or study of ideas. However, ideology tends to refer to the way in which people think about the world and their ideal concept of how to live in the world. This is slightly different from philosophy in the sense that ideology encompasses the concept that one’s ideals are the best  fucking way.

Philosophy on the other hand may examine the way ideology affects others from a more distant perspective. Philosophy however may become ideology when a philosopher sets forth ideal concepts for the way people should live,it dosen't mean every person in the world,thats where people get confused as your shitty self.


Heavy metal's fans base"ala hellrider" from this website lives with an image of heavy metal aesthetics,and to him its the way metalheads should live be they chose to,I am with him as well on this,its a way of life,its simply to flawnt studs and spikes in the air saying fuck your weak as shit we are heavy metal,it doesn't have to stem from a political source or purpose do your reasearch if you want to ever pull your head out of your ass.

No, it isn't! LOL dude! An ideology is so much more than that. An ideology tells us how we should organize a society, an economy or a military. It tells us how we should deal with ethical questions such as abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage,... An ideology tells us how we should deal with every little aspect of society. Heavy metal doesn't deal with all that. This can not be said of liberalism or fascism.

For some gardening or soccer is a way to bond with other people and to feel happy. But it would be absolutely rediculous to say that soccer or gardening is an ideology. It might be a hobby or a way of life. Maybe there are even a few simple ideas behind it, but it is definitely not an ideology.      Becks wrote:   I can't speak for everyone here, but for me at least, heavy metal is more than just a music genre. It's an escape, a release, a way to express myself, to connect with others, and find a sense of belonging. It makes me feel happy, inspired, energised and empowered. It is a part of me in a way that I find it hard to explain, but other metal heads should be able to relate to.      MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE wrote:   Now you're only giving me a definition of an ideology in general, but can you give me a definition of your so-called heavy metal ideology?
