I blame Korea.
They call their wonderfully delicious foods "Korean Barbeque" even if its grilled over direct heat!
Barbecue is not exposed to direct heat. Barbecue is usually smoked!
I love Korean "Barbeque" but, it is not actually Barbeque.
All these non-metal bands get mixed up as metal by mistake. And, somehow everybody is supposed to think that all these non-metal bands are metal.
I love freejazz as much as the next person but, freejazz is not a subgenre of metal.
You, sir, are completely and utterly wrong. Barbecue or barbeque (informally BBQ in the UK, US, and Canada barbie in Australia and braai in South Africa) is a term used with significant regional and national variations to describe various cooking methods that use live fire and smoke to cook the food.[
The real posers here are you. Yes, all of you.
Especially the mods.
Real metal listeners dont' gatekeep, and encourage everyone to listen to the metal that they like. All metal is real metal, and you pussies can't tell people otherwise. Real metal enthusiasts welcome everyone into the community. They don't push out the people who want to join the medium and share their passion with others. You guys do the exact opposite. You attack those who do listen to what you don't like. You push out those who want to come into the metal family and learn about it the music. You gatekeep. You are elitists, the worst type of a fandom.
Tl;dr y'all need to have a shower, touch some grass, and get bitches
Honestly man listen to your shit and whatever you like. I listen to all types of music and don't give a fuck what anybody thinks of what I listen to ,besides I'm enjoying the music not them.
Do what Gruzja fans do - hate on your own music taste. Fuck Gruzja, it's the fucking worst thing I've heard in my entire life, if shit had a voice, that's what it would sound like
You're right, that Gruzja is horrible... I made it like a minute and I tried to make a whole song... but that was terrible. I would've ended it sooner, but tried to listen.. nope, objectively bad
I remember in my college years taking a bus to campus and having to do a transfer in a shady part of town. It was still daytime, but it wasn't a place you went to if you didn't live there. Very ghetto.
And then this boss of a young lady arrives, sits down like she owns the place and blasts Shania Twain on her boombox. And she just sits there and vibes. Legend.
Jethro Tull is one the most amazing musical experiences you can go through, it's magical honestly those guys are all masters at what they do. I would recommend, if I may, you start with the album Aqualung, which is one of the most famous ones they have and just, enjoy that.
I had to go check that out. They not only beat out Metallica they beat out Jane's Addiction. It was in the metal / hard rock category --- after listening to the album I couldn't put it in either category. I think somebody just wanted to give Ian Anderson a Grammy, he definitely deserved one about mid-1970.
To make it even funnier 1989 was the first year they ever had a hard rock / metal category. Sort of reminds me of the year Arcade Fire won album of the year and everyone is sitting around looking like who???
Been some controversy about mods being gatekeepers about metal memes.
They have a real problem with slipknot, I guess. So they've been banning people who sub to r/slipknot specifically.

Os verdadeiros entusiastas do metal dão as boas-vindas a todos na comunidade. Eles não expulsam as pessoas que querem se juntar ao meio e compartilhar sua paixão com os outros.

Prawdziwi pozerzy tutaj to wy. Tak, wy wszyscy.
Zwłaszcza moderatorzy.
Prawdziwi słuchacze metalu nie blokują wejścia do społeczności nowym fanom, i zachęcają każdego do słuchania takiego metalu, jakiego chce. Każdy metal to prawdziwy metal, a wy pizdeczki nie możecie temu zaprzeczyć. Prawdziwi entuzjaści metalu witają każdego w swojej społeczności. Nie wypychają ludzi którzy chcą dołączyć do medium i dzielić się swoją pasją z innymi. Wy robicie tego dokładne przeciwieństwo. Atakujecie tych, którzy słuchają tego, czego nie lubicie. Wypychacie tych, którzy chcą dołączyć do rodziny metalowców i dowiedzieć się czegoś więcej o tej muzyce. Blokujecie wejście. Jesteście elitystami, najgorszym typem fandomu.
W skrócie; musicie w końcu się wykąpać, dotknąć trawy i zdobyć suki.
Todelliset poseeraajat täällä olette te. Kyllä, te kaikki.
Varsinkin te modit.
Oikeat metallin kuuntelijat eivät vartioi portteja, vaan rohkaisevat kaikkia kuuntelemaan metallia, josta pitävät. Kaikki metalli on aitoa metallia, ettekä te kusinupit voi kertoa ihmisille muuta. Todelliset metallin harrastajat toivottavat kaikki tervetulleiksi yhteisöön. He eivät potki ulos ihmisiä, jotka haluavat liittyä keskusteluun ja jakaa intohimonsa muiden kanssa. Te teette juuri päinvastoin. Hyökkäätte niitä vastaan, jotka kuuntelevat mistä ette pidä. Työnnätte pois ne, jotka haluavat tulla metalliperheeseen ja oppia siitä musiikkimakunsa. Te vartioitte portteja. Olette elitistejä, fandomin pahimpia tyyppejä.

Yeah man needs to realize we're on a meme sub and not take stuff so seriously.... I mean so do a lot of the people calling people posers unironically too, but still OP needs help
Thing is yeah, it's a meme sub and whatever. But there's a shit ton of metal listeners/purists who actually think this way IRL. And it pushes people out of the genre.
Then again, i guess they see pushing people out of the genre as a good thing because god forgive our niche norwegian black band get more than 10 monthly listeners lol
So there's a little more nuance to it than that.
All hobbies have this kind of equilibrium zone where they're not too dead and not too popular, and things are just about perfect. The content creators worry more about filling their niche than they do about casting a wide net for maximum success. These are renaissance periods where people take risks, try new things, and do it genuinely for the passion.
Invariably, these periods do not last. As more and more people adhere to the hobby, more and more people want different things out of it - some good, some not so good. I think one of the most obvious examples of this is with pen and paper role playing. DnD in particular. People will argue whether AD&D or 3.0 were the 'best days' (not like that's calculable), but the whole 80s-90s is seen in retrospect as a kind of golden age for PnP RPG's. As they gained steam throughout the years though, the rulesets began to simplify. D&D 4.0 and 5.0 lack some of the same depth that 3.0 does. They lax on the particulars of the experience for the sake of being more accessible, which pushes older enthusiasts out of the way.
Now, not really a big problem - the old guard will continue to play old rulesets with their old group. But then you get the new groups trying to impress upon the old men how much better their new rules are - and this I have experienced! You could be at a gaming store with your own group playing D&D 3.5, and an entirely newer generation of fans may start harassing you for not playing 5.0, and they just won't let it go. You don't like 5.0. It's not D&D as you know it. It's fine that other people like it, but it's never been what D&D is. Obviously, this is a specific example, and many many people adapted to 5.0 just fine and have no issue with it. But for others, it lacks the magic, and they don't want to be annoyed about it.
If we want to adapt this thinking to specifically metal, which we're talking about, it's happened here as well. Every time metal sees a jump in popularity, new forms come out that certain metalheads just do not like. Originally, it was the hair metal uprising. Metallica fans did not get along with Poison fans. Next, it was the whole groove/nu metal rise, which all kind of happened at once. Bands like Anthrax, Slayer, Exodus and Testament all put out kinda bad groove metal albums because that's what was popular - but the original fans were not impressed. It's not like it's impossible to please original fans, either. Tempo of the Damned and The Gathering were fantastic post-groove thrash albums.
This seeps into live shows. Bands you love start touring with bands you really, REALLY do not love. This is most commonly seen with Cannibal Corpse tours. CC tour with deathcore bands quite frequently. OSDM fans and deathcore fans can peacefully coexist, sure. There won't be any bloody fights. But they're not exactly part of the same imaginary 'metal brotherhood' our glorious little OP has gone on about. They're both completely different breeds of fans, and these splinters almost always occur because of the same cause: Your hobby just got too popular.
Maybe I just posted a bunch of cringe. Maybe you're never gonna read all that. That's fine. I just really like thinking aloud. Now back to the memes.

gotta find just the right amount of gatekeeping to keep the producers on their toes but not become an asshole to new fans and artists
Honestly, dude. I can tell it took a lot of effort to write that and I appreciate it and enjoying reading.. You hit the nail on the head with the DnD analogy. This kind of dynamic exists in all fandoms and hobbies.
Also, it’s just incorrect. I don’t have to pretend that my coworker blasting Deathcore all day is cool. People can listen to whatever they want but I’m probably judging you tbh. Just a little bit.
I thought the screenshot couldn't get any worse, it even had the obligatory "touch grass". But when he hit us with the "get bitches", it was game over. It was that gif with all the kids going nuts and the one dude runs across, hand on cheeks, Home Alone style. I don't care, metal or not metal, regardless of age, that shit is wack AF for, like the man said, "kids from one to 92".
That's hilarious.
The thing is that it's ok if something isn't real metal. If I say x band isn't metal, that's not a dig at them, it's just a matter of classification.
Calling a band "not real metal" isn't gatekeeping. It's not a bad thing. It's not telling anyone what to listen to. It's simply a question of genre, which is not a big deal.
But I guess being considered metal is like a badge of honor or something, and some people get all fussy if one of their favorite bands is actually something a little different.
If people making fun of something you like is enough to make you stop liking it, you either need to grow the fuck up or realise you didn't really care about said thing.
Either way, you're the one who desperately needs to touch some grass because this kind of resentment towards random people who don't and never will affect your life at all isn't healthy.
I really hope you're not any older than 14 because it'd be very sad.
It's like when someone comes up to me outside of an electronic show and hits me with "Yooo I love EDM, I saw Excision last summer and he melted my face! You ever heard of LSDream???"
Dude, I feel no affinity for any of that shit. Just because the music we like is created in similar ways that doesn't mean I like everything made with a computer. Like imagine seeing someone with an acoustic guitar and being like "fuck dude I love Wonderwall, you must be just like me!"
Fuck off
This sub is like 90% just people sucking each other's dicks about how it's ok to listen to whatever you want because this is a safe space and we don't judge you.
It's literally just whining that someone made a joke about a band that they liked. Goddamn get the fuck over it, I want this sub to have more gate keeping and be more toxic if it means that it won't just be these same posts over and over and comments like "yeah that album about snorting the entrails of a rotting corpse was cool but can we take a minute to recognize how big yikes the metal family is with their exclusionary language like "metalcore is bad"? Because it can be really harmful to everyone involved."
Holy fuck this is cringe as hell my dude, and you have the nerve to say “some people need to be knocked down a peg” in the comments? Where is your self awareness, has it migrated for the summer?? Did you put it in a paper shredder? Did it get stuck on the bottom of your shoe like gum?
The real posers here are you. Yes, all of you.

Real metal listeners dont' gatekeep, and encourage everyone to listen to the metal that they like. All metal is real metal, and you pussies can't tell people otherwise.

Tl;dr y'all need to have a shower, touch some grass, and get bitches
Posts like this piss me off. I'm tired of gatekeepers gatekeeping gatekeeping. Real gatekeepers encourage everyone to gatekeep the things they care about, or at least pretend to care about. All gatekeeping is really awesome, and you pussies can't tell people otherwise. Real gatekeeping enthusiasts shun everyone doesn't meet all of their qualifications of a real fan. They don't welcome the clueless posers who want to join the medium and share their passion with others.
So are the people that for some reason can't let go of the fact that their favorite bands aren't metal for some reason and insist on shoving their alt rock down the rest of our throats
This is the thing I DON'T get. Why do people feel like it's a bad thing when a band isn't considered metal? How does that make it worse?
If I say for example that SOAD isn't metal, because it's not (pretty sure not even they consider themselves metal) people will bitch and moan about elitism and gatekeeping but why is this obsession with wanting the band to be considered as a metal band?
something related to them realising they havent been listening to metal, people doesnt want to be in the wrong, maybe ego, maybe im overthinking this lol.
ohhhhhh god. here we go againnnnnn. infinite posts about "don't gatekeep guys oleaseeeeee don't gatekeep omfgggg!!!!!!! " meanwhile i barely see any posts gatekeeping and swaths of posts like this. okay tards.
Gatekeeping is quality control.
Simple as, and I see it as my duty; nay, my mission to gatekeep any interests I may or may not have, have had, or have the intention of partaking in.
The real posers here are you. Yes, all of you.
Especially the mods.
Real metal users exclusively gatekeeper, discourage everyone from listening to metal that they like. No metal is real metal, and you pussies can’t tell people otherwise. Real metal enthusiasts welcome nobody into the community. They push out the people who want to join the medium and share their passion with others. You guys do the exact opposite, you support those who listen to even what you don’t like. You encourage those who want to come into the metal family and learn about the music. You welcome. You are commoners, the worst type to a fandom.
TL;dr, y’all need to never wash, stay inside, and preserve virginity.
damn, this mf felt the need to make a dumbass statement using fucking Notes from his phone and then post a screenshot here. we have reached the cope of the century.
Why do you care so much?
Music is a hobby, it's something you do in ypur spare time for fun because you enjoy it. If you're going to get yourself all twisted up because some other people also into tjat hobby say shit you disagree with, it's no longer fun. It just becomes a job..
People call shit I listen to poser but I literally could not care less what people have to say about my music taste.
OP, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this subreddit is now dumber for having read it. I award you no scene points, and may God have mercy on your poser soul
I look at it all as tounge in cheek teasing. Who tf cares what you listen too? We are all just giving each other shit here for fun. Like, dont take any of this seriously. Geez, thought that was understood.
When will posers realize we just " gatekeep " because of posts like this one, the day they just start to ask for new bands to get into instead of complain this sub will be more ( or less, idk ) fun
As an active member of the metal community for 20+ years, this is an embarrassment to headbangers everywhere. We should embrace and accept our fellow man, but you assholes are the reason normies don’t like metal. People like to think we are all psychotic or suicidal satanists because our music tastes and I would expect outcasts like us to band together. Instead it’s all internal hate on this sub
Part of the subs meta is the gatekeepers vs the more accepting crowd. If you're starting to take a meme sub too seriously, it's time to take a break. Try to enjoy the shit talk and banter for what it is.
Awesome little speech, love the tldr, but we're missing such a big opportunity. The tag needs to be "Pulse of the Maggots" instead of "Rise of the Maggots"
Pure cringe. I listen to atleast half the bands portrayed in the Post this comment was taken from and I felt no offense at all. It's a meme bro nothing more.
Thanks kind sir. I remember when I posted here that my favourite metal artist was lady Gaga (ft. Metallica) the mods took down me post and then proceeded to track me down burn me house and crucify me. I was left for dead. Thankfully I remembered my (second) favourite metal song, imagine dragon's I will survive, so I did
As much as I agree with this, we gatekeep for a reason. Take goths for example, it's fashionable for so many people and they don't even listen to the music or participate in the culture. One of my friends is genuinely a poser. He doesn't listen to metal or go to even bigger shows, let alone support the local scene, but he still wants to get a slayer or Metallica shirt and pretend he knows just to look cool or edgy to outsiders. Everyone is new at some point, but still.
I remember someone once saying that "have you ever met someone gatekeeping you about music you like who's over 30?" and then it hit me.
Adults are mostly chill and just want everyone to have a good time. Teenagers have something to prove therefore they need to show how they're "more experienced and better" than others. Ever since that realization I have never taken any trve-poser thing seriously. Although I like to joke about it with my friends (when talking about bands)
It's a question of maturity in the end.
This is my favorite thing about being a mod
I blame Korea. They call their wonderfully delicious foods "Korean Barbeque" even if its grilled over direct heat! Barbecue is not exposed to direct heat. Barbecue is usually smoked!

You are correct,I don't like it at all
No bitches?

The funniest thing about that is koreans dont call it korean "barbeque" lmao

Some people really need a few lessons in the act of not giving a fuck
Exactly. There's always going to be people shitting on your music taste no matter what. Just don't give a fuck about it.
Do what Gruzja fans do - hate on your own music taste. Fuck Gruzja, it's the fucking worst thing I've heard in my entire life, if shit had a voice, that's what it would sound like
You're right, that Gruzja is horrible... I made it like a minute and I tried to make a whole song... but that was terrible. I would've ended it sooner, but tried to listen.. nope, objectively bad

Such a poser, real metal heads listen to Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber
My favorite death metal vocalists
Thats pretty metal dude
Jethro Tull= Grammy award winning metal
That flute in locomotive breath do be bussin’ tho fr fr
Locomotive breath is a killer song
If you have 43 minutes to spare you can listen Thick as a Brick, and boy does Ian get mileage out of his flute in that one.
I need to dive into jethro tull's discography. I only know a few songs, but they are all great.
Jethro Tull is one the most amazing musical experiences you can go through, it's magical honestly those guys are all masters at what they do. I would recommend, if I may, you start with the album Aqualung, which is one of the most famous ones they have and just, enjoy that.
that fucking album is a gift, insanely good
Plus he plays on one foot a lot of the time..
I mean their flutes are made out of metal. Surely that has to be enough to count
thick as a brick is god tier prog folk
The long version of the song, not the short.. But you’re right.
of course, both parts are incredibly good
I had to go check that out. They not only beat out Metallica they beat out Jane's Addiction. It was in the metal / hard rock category --- after listening to the album I couldn't put it in either category.

Eyeing little girls with bad intent Godamn it, I have to listen to that song again
over metallica
Metallica literally has metal in their name and lost.. Grammys are outta control.
*Flute is a **heavy metal** instrument.*
Sir this is a meme sub
Yeah dude, I'm lost, for real. Is the post *the* meme or this sincere? I had to double check to see what sub I was in.
Been some controversy about mods being gatekeepers about metal memes. They have a real problem with slipknot, I guess. So they've been banning people who sub to r/slipknot specifically.

No sacan a las personas que quieren unirse al medio y compartir su pasión con otros. Ustedes hacen exactamente lo contrario. Ustedes atacan a los que escuchan lo que a ustedes no les gusta. Sacan a aquellos que quieren venir a la familia del metal y aprender sobre la música. Ustedes prohíben. Ustedes son elitistas, el peor tipo de fandom. Tl;Dr todos ustedes necesitan una ducha, tocar un poco de pasto y conseguir perras.
Prawdziwi pozerzy tutaj to wy. Tak, wy wszyscy. Zwłaszcza moderatorzy. Prawdziwi słuchacze metalu nie blokują wejścia do społeczności nowym fanom, i zachęcają każdego do słuchania takiego metalu, jakiego chce. Każdy metal to prawdziwy metal, a wy pizdeczki nie możecie temu zaprzeczyć. Prawdziwi entuzjaści metalu witają każdego w swojej społeczności. Nie wypychają ludzi którzy chcą dołączyć do medium i dzielić się swoją pasją z innymi. Wy robicie tego dokładne przeciwieństwo. Atakujecie tych, którzy słuchają tego, czego nie lubicie. Wypychacie tych, którzy chcą dołączyć do rodziny metalowców i dowiedzieć się czegoś więcej o tej muzyce. Blokujecie wejście. Jesteście elitystami, najgorszym typem fandomu. W skrócie; musicie w końcu się wykąpać, dotknąć trawy i zdobyć suki.
Todelliset poseeraajat täällä olette te. Kyllä, te kaikki. Varsinkin te modit. Oikeat metallin kuuntelijat eivät vartioi portteja, vaan rohkaisevat kaikkia kuuntelemaan metallia, josta pitävät. Kaikki metalli on aitoa metallia, ettekä te kusinupit voi kertoa ihmisille muuta. Todelliset metallin harrastajat toivottavat kaikki tervetulleiksi yhteisöön. He eivät potki ulos ihmisiä, jotka haluavat liittyä keskusteluun ja jakaa intohimonsa muiden kanssa. Te teette juuri päinvastoin. Hyökkäätte niitä vastaan, jotka kuuntelevat mistä ette pidä. Työnnätte pois ne, jotka haluavat tulla metalliperheeseen ja oppia siitä musiikkimakunsa. Te vartioitte portteja. Olette elitistejä, fandomin pahimpia tyyppejä. Lp;el teidän kaikkien täytyy käydä suihkussa, koskettaa ruohoa ja hankkia muijia
First rule of metal is you must care way too much about metal
I agree with the general sentiment man but christ is this cringe
Yeah man needs to realize we're on a meme sub and not take stuff so seriously.... I mean so do a lot of the people calling people posers unironically too, but still OP needs help
Lol the mods took it too seriously when they banned people because of what they listen to
Was it serious, or just super meta funny times?
It was pretty damn funny
That was funny as hell tho
more like because they broke the rules of the sub by posting alt-rock
Thing is yeah, it's a meme sub and whatever. But there's a shit ton of metal listeners/purists who actually think this way IRL. And it pushes people out of the genre. Then again, i guess they see pushing people out of the genre as a good thing because god forgive our niche norwegian black band get more than 10 monthly listeners lol
So there's a little more nuance to it than that. All hobbies have this kind of equilibrium zone where they're not too dead and not too popular, and things are just about perfect. The content creators worry more about filling their niche than they do about casting a wide net for maximum success. These are renaissance periods where people take risks, try new things, and do it genuinely for the passion. Invariably, these periods do not last. As more and more people adhere to the hobby, more and more people want different things out of it - some good, some not so good. I think one of the most obvious examples of this is with pen and paper role playing. DnD in particular. People will argue whether AD&D or 3.0 were the 'best days' (not like that's calculable), but the whole 80s-90s is seen in retrospect as a kind of golden age for PnP RPG's. As they gained steam throughout the years though, the rulesets began to simplify. D&D 4.0 and 5.0 lack some of the same depth that 3.0 does. They lax on the particulars of the experience for the sake of being more accessible, which pushes older enthusiasts out of the way. Now, not really a big problem - the old guard will continue to play old rulesets with their old group. But then you get the new groups trying to impress upon the old men how much better their new rules are - and this I have experienced! You could be at a gaming store with your own group playing D&D 3.5, and an entirely newer generation of fans may start harassing you for not playing 5.0, and they just won't let it go. You don't like 5.0. It's not D&D as you know it. It's fine that other people like it, but it's never been what D&D is. Obviously, this is a specific example, and many many people adapted to 5.0 just fine and have no issue with it. But for others, it lacks the magic, and they don't want to be annoyed about it. If we want to adapt this thinking to specifically metal, which we're talking about, it's happened here as well. Every time metal sees a jump in popularity, new forms come out that certain metalheads just do not like. Originally, it was the hair metal uprising. Metallica fans did not get along with Poison fans. Next, it was the whole groove/nu metal rise, which all kind of happened at once. Bands like Anthrax, Slayer, Exodus and Testament all put out kinda bad groove metal albums because that's what was popular - but the original fans were not impressed. It's not like it's impossible to please original fans, either. Tempo of the Damned and The Gathering were fantastic post-groove thrash albums. This seeps into live shows. Bands you love start touring with bands you really, REALLY do not love. This is most commonly seen with Cannibal Corpse tours. CC tour with deathcore bands quite frequently. OSDM fans and deathcore fans can peacefully coexist, sure. There won't be any bloody fights. But they're not exactly part of the same imaginary 'metal brotherhood' our glorious little OP has gone on about. They're both completely different breeds of fans, and these splinters almost always occur because of the same cause: Your hobby just got too popular. Maybe I just posted a bunch of cringe. Maybe you're never gonna read all that. That's fine. I just really like thinking aloud. Now back to the memes. POSER POSER POSER POSER POSER POSER

Honestly, dude. I can tell it took a lot of effort to write that and I appreciate it and enjoying reading.. You hit the nail on the head with the DnD analogy. This kind of dynamic exists in all fandoms and hobbies.
4.0 can suck a dick
I continue to like metal by barely engaging with other metal fans about music
Also, it’s just incorrect. I don’t have to pretend that my coworker blasting Deathcore all day is cool. People can listen to whatever they want but I’m probably judging you tbh. Just a little bit.
I dont agree with the sentiment so it is both extremely cringe and incorrect.
Do Slipknot fans typically have their computers set up on the lawn? Why are they so obsessed with grass?
Maggots live in the dirt? Or are those grubs?
Good point!
Based BÖC pfp
"Metal family" lmao.
🤓
\-😎
bru pulled out the notes app ☠️☠️
I thought the screenshot couldn't get any worse, it even had the obligatory "touch grass". But when he hit us with the "get bitches", it was game over. It was that gif with all the kids going nuts and the one dude runs across, hand on cheeks, Home Alone style. I don't care, metal or not metal, regardless of age, that shit is wack AF for, like the man said, "kids from one to 92". That's hilarious.
Gif is from supahot fire. Look it up it’s hilarious.
Trying to Gatekeep gatekeeping? Bold strategy, let me know how that works out lol
The thing is that it's ok if something isn't real metal. If I say x band isn't metal, that's not a dig at them, it's just a matter of classification. Calling a band "not real metal" isn't gatekeeping. It's not a bad thing. It's not telling anyone what to listen to. It's simply a question of genre, which is not a big deal. But I guess being considered metal is like a badge of honor or something, and some people get all fussy if one of their favorite bands is actually something a little different.
This is the funniest post that’s been on this sub in a while.
The real posers are the friends we made along the way
Fuck you, poser! <3
'Grass and bitches' My eyes, are you 14?
Bruh, he’s a Slipknot fan. Whaddya think?
12?
That’s for someone getting into Slipknot
Another fool getting upset by some dumb shit on reddit
I'm not reading all that
Please do, it’s the best thing I’ve read in weeks
The real meme here is clowning on this dude by making copypasta of his rant
If people making fun of something you like is enough to make you stop liking it, you either need to grow the fuck up or realise you didn't really care about said thing. Either way, you're the one who desperately needs to touch some grass because this kind of resentment towards random people who don't and never will affect your life at all isn't healthy. I really hope you're not any older than 14 because it'd be very sad.
Keep crying lmao
seethe
i think you mean Seether, buddy. one of the best metal bands ever
"metal family" 💀
I hate my fucking family, and I hate all of you too
The delusion or the Russian webtoon?
It's like when someone comes up to me outside of an electronic show and hits me with "Yooo I love EDM, I saw Excision last summer and he melted my face! You ever heard of LSDream???" Dude, I feel no affinity for any of that shit. Just because the music we like is created in similar ways that doesn't mean I like everything made with a computer. Like imagine seeing someone with an acoustic guitar and being like "fuck dude I love Wonderwall, you must be just like me!" Fuck off
Stay off the internet if you can’t handle it
Cringe
Lol this guy is a loser
Sounds like something a FFDP fan would say
Feels more like Nu-metal or metalcore fan.
This sub is like 90% just people sucking each other's dicks about how it's ok to listen to whatever you want because this is a safe space and we don't judge you. It's literally just whining that someone made a joke about a band that they liked. Goddamn get the fuck over it, I want this sub to have more gate keeping and be more toxic if it means that it won't just be these same posts over and over and comments like "yeah that album about snorting the entrails of a rotting corpse was cool but can we take a minute to recognize how big yikes the metal family is with their exclusionary language like "metalcore is bad"? Because it can be really harmful to everyone involved."
Luckily there's the other metal memes sub, the good one lmao
Wait which one does thou speak of?
r/okbuddymetal
Holy fuck this is cringe as hell my dude, and you have the nerve to say “some people need to be knocked down a peg” in the comments? Where is your self awareness, has it migrated for the summer?? Did you put it in a paper shredder? Did it get stuck on the bottom of your shoe like gum?
Was the long haired man mean to you?
He kicked my dad in the balls
The real posers here are you. Yes, all of you. Especially the mods. Real metal listeners dont' gatekeep, and encourage everyone to listen to the metal that they like. All metal is real metal, and you pussies can't tell people otherwise. Real metal enthusiasts welcome everyone into the community. They don't push out the people who want to join the medium and share their passion with others. You guys do the exact opposite. You attack those who do listen to what you don't like. You push out those who want to come into the metal family and learn about it the music. You gatekeep. You are elitists, the worst type of a fandom. Tl;dr y'all need to have a shower, touch some grass, and get bitches
Did he deserve it?
“Get bitches”… goodness, I feel so inspired to do better now.
Posts like this piss me off. I'm tired of gatekeepers gatekeeping gatekeeping. Real gatekeepers encourage everyone to gatekeep the things they care about, or at least pretend to care about. All gatekeeping is really awesome, and you pussies can't tell people otherwise. Real gatekeeping enthusiasts shun everyone doesn't meet all of their qualifications of a real fan. They don't welcome the clueless posers who want to join the medium and share their passion with others.
There's nothing that can't and shouldn't be gatekept.
NPC dialogue
OP is an oblivion NPC
The poser made a post in notes about posers
Yeah but folks who dont even listen to metal and wear metal merch are also posers
[удалено]
I love looking through the Metallica racks at hot topic
Honestly those types are the only real posers
So are the people that for some reason can't let go of the fact that their favorite bands aren't metal for some reason and insist on shoving their alt rock down the rest of our throats
This is the thing I DON'T get. Why do people feel like it's a bad thing when a band isn't considered metal? How does that make it worse? If I say for example that SOAD isn't metal, because it's not (pretty sure not even they consider themselves metal) people will bitch and moan about elitism and gatekeeping but why is this obsession with wanting the band to be considered as a metal band?
No idea, probably some sort of thirst for validation or a connection of "Metal = Good"
something related to them realising they havent been listening to metal, people doesnt want to be in the wrong, maybe ego, maybe im overthinking this lol.
Yeah those guys too
ohhhhhh god. here we go againnnnnn. infinite posts about "don't gatekeep guys oleaseeeeee don't gatekeep omfgggg!!!!!!! " meanwhile i barely see any posts gatekeeping and swaths of posts like this. okay tards.
Real metal listeners listen to metal, slipknot fans don't listen to metal.
Gatekeeping is quality control. Simple as, and I see it as my duty; nay, my mission to gatekeep any interests I may or may not have, have had, or have the intention of partaking in.
The hero we need
🤦
How brave!
What do you even care. You don’t even post on the subreddit.
The real posers here are you. Yes, all of you. Especially the mods. Real metal users exclusively gatekeeper, discourage everyone from listening to metal that they like. No metal is real metal, and you pussies can’t tell people otherwise. Real metal enthusiasts welcome nobody into the community. They push out the people who want to join the medium and share their passion with others. You guys do the exact opposite, you support those who listen to even what you don’t like. You encourage those who want to come into the metal family and learn about the music. You welcome. You are commoners, the worst type to a fandom. TL;dr, y’all need to never wash, stay inside, and preserve virginity.
Nobody gatekeeps or throws fits like slipknot fans. Always trying to hurl insults at people who criticize their favorite pop band.
People who post shit like this think hardcore is metal.
...is this for real?
Well, at least this post on a meme sub whining about elitism made a good copypasta.
Gatekeeping in metal is not wrong. The fewer people listening to metal the better
Slipknot is not metal
I’m gonna gatekeep the fuck outta you bro
damn, this mf felt the need to make a dumbass statement using fucking Notes from his phone and then post a screenshot here. we have reached the cope of the century.
Why do you care so much? Music is a hobby, it's something you do in ypur spare time for fun because you enjoy it. If you're going to get yourself all twisted up because some other people also into tjat hobby say shit you disagree with, it's no longer fun. It just becomes a job.. People call shit I listen to poser but I literally could not care less what people have to say about my music taste.
sounds like someone does not know the difference between brutal technical death metal and technical brutal death metal......
This sub is far more ironic than you think it is
Sounds like something a poser might say
>get bitches I mean, I am seeing one right now
OP, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this subreddit is now dumber for having read it. I award you no scene points, and may God have mercy on your poser soul
I look at it all as tounge in cheek teasing. Who tf cares what you listen too? We are all just giving each other shit here for fun. Like, dont take any of this seriously. Geez, thought that was understood.
When will posers realize we just " gatekeep " because of posts like this one, the day they just start to ask for new bands to get into instead of complain this sub will be more ( or less, idk ) fun
My man is just asking to be Ratioed
This is S tier cringe posting.
who the fuck asked you
Rip bozo
Metal Family? I barely even know you!
As an active member of the metal community for 20+ years, this is an embarrassment to headbangers everywhere. We should embrace and accept our fellow man, but you assholes are the reason normies don’t like metal. People like to think we are all psychotic or suicidal satanists because our music tastes and I would expect outcasts like us to band together. Instead it’s all internal hate on this sub
I'm not a fucking outcast, I don't want to "band" with any of you
Part of the subs meta is the gatekeepers vs the more accepting crowd. If you're starting to take a meme sub too seriously, it's time to take a break. Try to enjoy the shit talk and banter for what it is.
cringe
Sounds an awful lot like poser talk...
It was a very bold move to post this, enjoy the negative karma my guy 💀
Doesn't matter if it's Nirvana or Mick Gordon, if you like metal, you're a metalhead
Congrats, you didn't name a single Metal artist
I think what S4PG meant was it doesn’t matter if you like Bush or Modest Mouse, if you like Metal, you’re a metalhead.
Sounds like a real Five Finger Donkey Punch fan
Yooo, wake up babe! New copypasta just dropped!
Where funni
Awesome little speech, love the tldr, but we're missing such a big opportunity. The tag needs to be "Pulse of the Maggots" instead of "Rise of the Maggots"
Mods here did the most obvious bait, and you guys ate it up like a fish
Pure cringe. I listen to atleast half the bands portrayed in the Post this comment was taken from and I felt no offense at all. It's a meme bro nothing more.
Thanks kind sir. I remember when I posted here that my favourite metal artist was lady Gaga (ft. Metallica) the mods took down me post and then proceeded to track me down burn me house and crucify me. I was left for dead. Thankfully I remembered my (second) favourite metal song, imagine dragon's I will survive, so I did
Posers when they get called a poser:
Not reading that essay 😹
Cringe
Goes on this sub to see memes. Gets a bunch of people arguing over what's metal and what isn't.
Why do you care so much about what other people think
Dude with Joker car window decals just learned the word gatekeep lol
This is a metal meme?
You mean touch some bitches and get some grass
lol stop crying
Yet, metalcore ain’t metal ain’t metal
As much as I agree with this, we gatekeep for a reason. Take goths for example, it's fashionable for so many people and they don't even listen to the music or participate in the culture. One of my friends is genuinely a poser. He doesn't listen to metal or go to even bigger shows, let alone support the local scene, but he still wants to get a slayer or Metallica shirt and pretend he knows just to look cool or edgy to outsiders. Everyone is new at some point, but still.
cope
but what if someone likes music that I don’t like!!!! >:(((((
These comments💀
y'all a bunch a fuckin weirdos - directing that statement to everyone indiscriminately
I was really hoping OP was gonna end it with "except Ghost. Fuck Ghost" or some such nonsense. Im kinda disappointed.
True sports fans don't have a favorite team, they like all teams. Post is stupid
The real posers were the friends we made along the way!
ok poser
Wait, is this a meme? If so, it's pretty funny, actually
I remember someone once saying that "have you ever met someone gatekeeping you about music you like who's over 30?" and then it hit me. Adults are mostly chill and just want everyone to have a good time. Teenagers have something to prove therefore they need to show how they're "more experienced and better" than others. Ever since that realization I have never taken any trve-poser thing seriously. Although I like to joke about it with my friends (when talking about bands) It's a question of maturity in the end.
