NDHgender
NDHgender, also known as NGHgender, is a xenogender and musicagender identity related to the rock or metal subgenre Neue Deutsche Härte/New German Hardness. This may be related to an NDH-style band like Rammstein or Eisbrecher, a song within the genre, or it may be related to the genre itself.
One may feel as if this gender is "buzzing through their veins", or rather energetic; the gender is also linked to themes of rebellion, defensiveness, and shock factor. This gender is not masculine in nature, however, it may feel masculine, as the genre is dominated by men and often sung in deeper, masculine voices.
It is a xenogender, genregender, and audiogender. It is also a subtype of metalaesic, musicagender, and musigender. It may occasionally be considered a songic gender as well.
