I’m a metal guy. I’ve met lots of people in the scene over the years who are very gatekeepy, though I’ll admit it’s gotten better as that attitude is less socially acceptable now. It’s not just metal though, same in goth and alt scenes. So it does happen.

I do get the ‘name one song’, criticism. It’s gatekeepy. Memes are written for brevity, so for some reason I really charitably read this as “hey what’s your favourite megadeth song?”. And the metal guy response being “oh, well at least this hot girl is wearing a metal shirt this is still a win”.

Thanks for the response I see I was maybe being too generous to the meme.
