Jocks, nerds, geeks etc. Even the movies ridicule these individuals mercilessly.
No wonder the kids go on wild, random gun rampages.
I don't think our schools are that much different. If its any worse over there I bet its because the schools are bigger and there are just more kids.

I love my high school...While there are cliques in my school I just don't participate in them. I hang out with pretty much everybody and sit at like 5 different lunch tables.

I think it really depends on where you go to high school. My school had only one person, besides myself, I knew who was into folk metal and all that Scandinavian stuff. However, the area I am in has less metalheads and more fans of hip-hop and pop. I think the bottom line is that you won't have a problem unless you bother people about how good your music taste is or how much their music sucks.

I think though, that if you are going to come to America to enjoy the experience then try to learn to appreciate American culture while trading off some of your culture with others. While you may not like country music or hip-hop, I would suggest listening to some so that you will get more of a taste of the culture. Enjoy America, because it really is a great place, despite what many people will tell you.

I'm in high school, and almost everyone i know hates metal. However, at my school people tend to get along anyway and it doesn't matter much what you listen too. But I am at a private school in New England, so it will probably be pretty different from where you are going. Never been to Austria (or, sadly, Europe at all) but i would not at all be surprised if metal was more popular there. As for the question about dark ambient music, I found a few Burzum fans around my age, and we have Wolves in the Throne Room if that is along the lines of what you are thinking of.... Enjoy your stay!

There were only 2 of us that were 'metalheads' when I was at school and way back then I always prefered not to follow the crowd and just be myself. Still do now!

There was quite a mix of people in my school but I get the feeling that our schools arent quite as "cliquey" as in America (not that i would know personally of course) but that may have something to do with the fact that their schools seems to be bigger and there seems to be more kids in them than they are here.

Shootings and what have you are nowhere near as common here, but I wonder how much different our schools really would be if our countries were of similar size and population. While I was at school there was a kid expelled for bringing a knife and our rival school from just up the road came down with knives on at least one occasion. And our school had a really good rep.

don't try and get nasty, because if you think you've seen some **** i'd be more than happy to blow your mind with what happened at my school just last year.
