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.
Oh I can think of so many reasons to downvote this!
The whole “name 3 songs” thing is sexist, it’s usually said to women in band shirts. It’s boring and old.
It’s had a shit filter applied to her face. I see the exact same face everywhere. She looks like a Barbie doll.
Why metal guys? Are they more shallow than the general population? I didn’t know that was a stereotype and I’ve been to my share of metal festivals.
But that’s nothing compared to the fact it’s not very funny. It’s Facebook tier humour. Haha men are blind when boobies are involved.

Hah sorry bud, I didn’t actually downvote it and I’m sure I couldn’t do better. Just offering an explanation to the lost soul above
Much love
