Metalico

Metalico refers to metalheads or goths. They have a dark look and dress like they are in constant mourning. While it is easy to tell rich and poor apart in other groups like the cocolos (Dominicans of West Indian descent), a rich Metalico looks just like a poor one. They hang out in groups with lopsided gender ratios, and the women are either very attractive or ugly as sin. They wear black, red, or cream t-shirts with edgy prints like Che Guevara, Marilyn Manson, Enrique Bunbury, or skulls. They shop for cheap beads and accessories at El Conde (a famous pedestrian street in Santo Domingo), wear jeans three sizes too small, and prefer their Converse sneakers dirty and torn. The women use dark eyeshadow that makes them look sleep-deprived. They often carry guitars they do not know how to play and look depressed even when listening to upbeat alternative music.

Head to El Conde any afternoon and you will see the Metalico kids sprawled out on the floor like it is their house.
