When I see titles like: “How Women Are Conquering Metal” I’m happy that I can usually find a quote in the article like this: “I just did what I love. I’m a metalhead. I never really thought it was such a big deal. Yes, I’m a woman, but I’m a metalhead; I think music is above it all.”

Metal as a whole has, in my experience, always been a welcoming scene. No one is “conquering” anything, because all are welcome. And yes, like most other genres of music, motions in popularity happens.

I don’t get the medias need to make everything into a competition between people.
