I think you should ask Kyler more, but also consider that if you move anywhere it should be somewhere with a good music scene for your type of music. There are places that have music scenes for only one type of music. You don't see many metal bands in Charleston but there are a hell of a lot of blues bands.
Yeah, I know. The thing with metal is that you can pretty much find an audience anywhere. Metal speaks to a lot of people, but (as ashamed as I am to admit this) it speaks most profoundly to rubes. Rednecks and white trash (be they actually white or not) probably make up the biggest percentage of the metal community. And everybody has a redneck uncle or two.
Can't really blame them. I'm still wearing a pair of boots I've owned for about five years. I don't like buying new shit. I buy new clothes when I either destroy something I already own and need to replace it, or I lose something I already own and need to replace it.
...or if I happen to see a particularly awesome videogame shirt that I MUST BUY. Like the following, for example:
I'm up for pretty much anything but hardcore, punk or emo. Metal is what's at my core, though, Robo. If I knew that I'd make it as a musician, that I'd become huge and be set for life, and that all I had to do was pick what form of music to become famous for, it would be metal. I like a lot of stuff, but I love heavy metal. It's what I was raised on.
If I were you, i'd make it your goal to not fit a genre, because that'd be kick ass.... but that's just me. If you want to be a metal band and you are set on it, go fucking for it.

Basically how I feel. I've been a metalhead since Metallica's Black Album came out (keep in mind I was 7 when that came out).
