Someone called me a poser because I don't attend shows anymore. My first concert was Throbbing Gristle at Kezar Pavilion in 1981. I'm too old for this shit

calling people posers just tells everyone you're insecure. real metal fans just listen to metal. that's it.

“You’re not alt if you don’t support your local scene”<br><br>I am from FREEPORT, ILLINOIS. Local scene consists of a Beatles cover band in my school, and one metal band that played at a county fair kind of thing. We ain’t got SHIT!!!😭💔

Gatekeeping is a healthy thing when done as intended, elitism and arbitrary terminally online ragebait is killing the ability for anyone to actually gatekeep. True gatekeeping is staying level headed, giving advice/recommendations to newcomers and in very rare instances try to push out the actually horrendous people and corporate shills. There's no good reason to just be rude to people or act better than everyone, it's not productive or helpful.
