My daughter (19) is an avid heavy metal listener, and whilst she’s now an adult so I have reduced present buying heavily, I would really like to still make her a stocking that makes her smile.
She is an eclectic soul - heavy metal and collects vintage porcelain dolls, no interest in make up whatsoever, loves horses. I know nothing about heavy metal at all so I’m really stumped. She has patches already for her battle vest. Help!

What do you mean by death metal? There's brutal death, old school death, blackened death, symphonic death, tech death, death grind, slam...

🤣😉

oh definately... and thats not even getting into the 'cores'.

(I might be old but what the fuck even is 'core', I don't know but people in their 20s seem to love it lol).

I know! Although I Stan grindcore.

There's an unfortunate overlap between slam (which is my guilty pleasure) and hardcore, which leads to some bizarre clashes at gigs. A bunch of nerdy, chill heshers who just want to headbang do NOT appreciate getting kicked in the head by some spin-kicking twit in a tracksuit. It's like Quadrophenia lol

There are some barbed wire look hoop earrings on Etsy.

Have a browse on the EMP site - they have all sorts of stuff that might be suitable.

Yes definitely EMP and also Blue Banana. I'm a heavy metal head and am always buying from these two online

I’ve only bought from EMP before, so it’s great to get other ideas. I should sneak a look at her battle vest and get some band names - she also likes some new feminist-punk I need to discreetly get the name of.
