I see that interpretation now. But to be honest I have spoken to lots of girls that wear band shirts, especially 70s to 90s bands that are just fashion choices. They don’t know the band.

And that’s totally fine.

From that lens, when I see a meme like this i interpret it more charitably like ‘metal guy is excited hot lady shares his interest, asks about it’, ‘turns out it’s just a fashion choice, metal guy shrugs and accepts that it’s still a hot lady in a metal shirt’
