    gatekeepers are good they protect that scenes culture from dumb ass “normies” who want to repurpose it.

      Doesn’t that imply every cultural collision, including the ones that created metal, are bad and should be reversed?

      See you at lute practice, bro. I don’t what to hear any of that Bach garbage. It’s not even music.

      No, gatekeepers suck. Let people enjoy their things, them enjoying it doesn’t somehow rob your ability to enjoy it. Look at it this way, everyone was a new fan who didn’t know but the band’s 3 most popular songs. Maybe instead of shitting on them, recommend some cool songs based on what they already like? Explain some of the meaning in their music? Do literally anything but “NOT METAL!” or “NOT A REAL FAN!”
