Rock Gesture

 

Horned Hand

Horned Hand

When it comes to rock and hip-hop, the gesture of horned hand can’t be ignored. I believe most people are familiar with this gesture. But it is worth mentioning that we always see the wrong version of this gesture. Horned hand is that the thumb does not open this gesture. If the thumb is outstretched, represent I love you. And it doesn’t mean anything when the palm is inward.

Horned hand, originally a gesture of the Mediterranean countries to avoid evil spirits, is like the goat horn symbolizing the “devil” in Christianity, so this gesture was not elegant. But our great Black Sabbath singer Ronnie James Dior borrowed this gesture from his old Italian grandmother in order that his fans could have a uniform, cool and distinctive gesture at his concert. As a result, the gesture gradually evolved to the way which is metal fans pay tribute to metal rock bands. Since then, this gesture has gradually become popular in major music festivals, becoming the representative gesture of the metal rock scene.

You remember that the thumb of the right metal gift is inward. We usually see outward is the meaning of showing love, but to express love to the singer is ok.

Raise Fist

Fists represent strength, struggle, determination, and anger. In many cases, you can stretch out your fist. Raising your fist at a rock scene can also well express support for the performers.

 

Punk

Punk

This gesture is quite simple: the index finger is vertical, and the other four fingers are clumped together. As this gesture is very similar to an inverted P, so that represents “PUNK”.

Don’t pay tribute to the punk band with horned hand.
