I guess I'm a gatekeeper, but only because some guy used "hey babe, I can play Smoke on the Water by Metallica, want to come over and listen?" as a pickup line, and I laughed at him.
Listening to Tool right now, love 'Maiden but enjoy pre Bruce as much as the rest... NIN, Anthrax, Sick of it All, Type O Negative, Paradise Lost, Sepultura...must be some kinda metal chameleon circa 90s-00s!

I'm absolutely "the gatekeeper", but these days I like to keep the gate open and welcome newcomers who are interested in hearing an old man's ramblings.
This is where I fit - really obscure tastes, but instead of gate keeping, I'm like a Jehovah's witness showing up at your door, pushing bands on you if you show even the slightest interest
I am very interested.
But usually I like one or two songs from one interpreter, there are very few albums I like whole (Wintersun by Wintersun is the main exception, that is amazing from start to end).
So it's hard for me to find new music that I like.
I've got a bunch of recommendations scattered throughout the post. Give them a whirl

Check out "Rare and Obscure Metal Archives" sometime, very nice
The "It's all metal" guy is an astro physicist.
This meme makes me want to try more metal, and I think that makes me as bad as "the weeb"
I also drew direct comparisons to the electronic music subgenres.
Where do Powerwolf fans land on this list? Because I am one but I have genuinely no idea if that gives me cred or if that makes me the FNG.
Probably The Weeb archetype. It's the only one that mentions power metal. Guess I'm one too.

i dont recognize half the words
I've been called out as the gatekeeper :( . Though I do occasionally delve into darker electronic genres like dark ambient or some DnB.
Join the rest of us gatekeepers, you know, unless you are a poser, or something: !thrashmetal@lemmy.world !heavymetal@lemmy.world
As a Prog Purist myself, this is 100% accurate
Y'all sound like everyone did about rock 20 years ago. In Flames is my favorite btw.
I feel like I'm "Its all metal" cause I don't judge and will listen to a lot of it as long as I can understand the vocals. But I'll lean more towards the classic stuff like early Sabbath and Dio (both rainbow, sabbath and solo) and if its more modern it just ends up being Iron Maiden (I still love The Final Frontier or Book Of Souls... which are 15 and 10 years old now.. fuck me) or Megadeth. No idea of any new artists after like 2000 lol. I don't see myself here. Maybe "The Casual" is missing.
Im either "The Dad" or "Its all metal". I really dont give a shit. If I'm headbanging, its a bop
