Btw, there will be metalheads in your high school almost guaranteed, so long as it's a public school. Sounds like you will get along just fine, American kids always LOVE the new foreign students.
I'm nothing if not trixy.

Bostonia is actually on all of our city seals, back from when the place (boston) was founded.

I've never been to the west coast.

(btw. do american girls like guys with long hair? ^^)

Well, im not going to Kansas, it'll be Massachusetts (are people that different in different states?)

If you are a "Punk", "Goth" or in my case "Guy who likes Metal", do you have to stick to these certain "groups" groups you guys talked about? Isn't that srange?

Are there Metal festivals in America (like "Wacken" or "Metal Camp")?
May people in my age go there (16)?
Do people in my age drink Alcohol? (In europe you may drink with the age of 16)
Do american Metalheads like Pagan Metal like "Equilibrium"? Does anyone of you know them?

...just some more questions^^


And yes, i was talkin' about bands like Wolves in the Throne Room!! They're great, but I've known them before... (Didn't know they're from the states though)
American teens drink even though it is illegal. And yes, i have heard of Equilibrium, but i highly doubt many other Americans have

Pretty much all viking metal fans dig Equilibrium. Granted the scene isn't as big as it could be, they're still popular among the people who would potentially like them.

Yes, the culture can be pretty different from state to state and the two states you mentioned are pretty much at opposite ends of the American cultural spectrum. Massachusetts is one of the most progressive US states (it's the first state to legalize gay marriage for example) and among the least religious, while Kansas is fairly conservative and very religious (they actually teach "intelligent design" in the public schools there). Also Massachusetts has one of the highest population densities in the country and Kansas is largely farm country so there's a big urban versus rural contrast there as well. As a result the cultures of those two states are quite different.
