I have noticed that a lot of Goths like Tolkien, though more the 'trad' Goths than the cyber types, as they tend to be more into extreme comic books. But I found when I was at Uni you could always rely on a Goth to have a good Tolkien discussion with. These days though, young Goths are probably more likely to be into the Matrix and Sandman.

I've also noticed that a lot of alternative 'crusties' (which is not a very nice term, but UK Downers will know what I mean) are into Tolkien, and have to wonder which came first, the environmentalism or the being into Tolkien?

As for metal fans being into Tolkien - some are, some most definitely are not!
