Or does it? If it does, explain how and what, I'm interested.
If it doesn't, explain why you think it doesn't.

If "yourbandsucks" or "anonymous" chime in and call this a useless post I wil slap some faces

-----------------

I think metal does have a subculture, but I'm not sure how prolific it is. For instance, with punk there is a constant, ever-rotating supply of "zines" and things that help build a community. The community is viewed as the nucleus for the actions and events that surround what punk does...this is like hip-hop, where there is an outcropping over word use, media, clothing, food, culture etc that extends beyond the reach of the music but is centered around the outcome IN the music.

Metal seems to have zines, events, etc that aren't always so focused on just one-two weekly shows, but there are far fewer picnics, non-music events, gatherings, etc.

Perhaps metal is the scene for people that aren't so community oriented, and that's the appeal?

Is this true on a broader scale? is it only a local thing that comes off this way? Or? share your experiences and thoughts.
