Episode Description
"That is NOT metal!"
We’ve all heard it. The accusations of "posers," "selling out," and inauthenticity. But what if we told you that the unwritten, iron-clad rules of the metal subculture aren't just about music? What if they are actually a brutal, informal economic system?
On this episode of METALOMICS, we put the metal scene under the economic microscope. We explore the paradox of a subculture built on anti-commercialism that functions as a vibrant, regulated economy.
Economics is Metal!
