I've been listening to metal for 7 years now, still haven't headbanged. I gave it a try and my neck hurts really bad and I feel dizzy. Do people actually headbang?

I used to all the time. Stopped because it ruins your neck and you can't even enjoy the show.

yes, and if you did it and it hurt, your doing it wrong. you gotta lower your head a bit, and bang from down to up and back down. not from normal forward facing position.

At gigs usually, when I'm just listening to it at home I usually just mimic the drums tapping my feet heels-up to feel the tempo.

Some metalhead kid did it at my school once and I promptly pointed and laughed at him. It just looks ridiculous, haha.

The music I listen to is completely unheadbangable, and even if it wasn't I wouldn't feel compelled to do it :P

Yeah, and when I'm listening to a really sick solo. But I usually do the entire upper body bang rather than a headbang.

this exactly, correct technique makes the difference, flopping your head around trying to show off is how you hurt your self. yes i do it sometimes not alot though, i used to do it when i heard a really heavy song i liked but i havent done it in a while.

I do, specially at metal concerts, but my neck usually gets sore the next day. At least I'm not moshing and hurting other people.

Amen to that, brotha.

Also if it's a two band set it's better to not wear yourself out on the first one because later you can't do ****, or you can but it looks really weak. I learnt that the hard way, but at least it didn't hurt as much the second time.

Only when my hair is longer. I don't do it so violently though. At home I'll just pretend to play air guitar as if I'm on stage so I get my body involved more than just my head.
