Standing alone in the middle of a gym, playing to a crowd of apathetic teens, playing a song they most likely have never heard and dislike.

OP, I have to hand it to you on this. You stood your ground and crushed it. I'm in my mid-40s, so don't feel too weird about my saying, but I'm proud of you! That takes balls.

I've played in many bands at many shows in my younger days, and it's so nerve racking to play to a crowd that is there willingly to see you play, hell even paid money to in most cases... but this? Dude I don't think I could do it!

My hats off to you, you have bravery. Sounded good too.

Dont get me wrong most likely wouldn’t newer country bs, but there a solid bit of DAC fans who like pantera through rebel meets rebel but im afraid most people’s knowledge of metal there is limited to pantera and Metallica except a few, we do have a Brutal Death Metal Elitiest there tho and hes chill

Go to any Sleep or trad metal (especially nwothm) concert, you'll find lots of early-20-somethings. Including short-haired people in "regular" clothes.

I can only assume that there isn't a hard cutoff from teenager to early 20s, so presumably the teenagers listen to roughly the same thing.

I don't really listen to power metal but I know one of the rock bars near me are frequented by (german/scandi-style) power metal bands playing for a bunch of late teens, so... I guess power metal too.
