Just be yourself, don't try to impress anyone. I'm black I listen to metal, if no one likes it, I don't care. It may just be that the reason why they view you differently is because of the music and the music only. Maybe they think you worship the devil.... You apparently have something in common, such as boxing.... work on that.

Just be yourself, if your a cool guy then they should n't be assholes. I don't chose my friends because they like the same music as me or dress like me, you don't have to be the same as someone to be friends with them that would just be boring and silly. Please just don't stress about it its not worth it.
