This is a rant. Very stupid but it pissed me off SO SO much when it happened to me..
So. After trying and failing to find mutuals who like bands I enjoy, I went to the place of doom and despair: Discord </3. I joined a server that looked 'authentic' enough, specifically for anyone who likes metal. They didn't specify what genre so I joined and immediately made an introduction. I introduced myself, my hobbies and ofc what metal bands I like. After a while I got a DM request: a person saying they also like metal (ye no shit, we share one common server and it's THAT one) but trying to be nice, I asked for their top bands.. and I was met with the holy combo of mainstream: Korn, Slipknot and whatever other bullshit they texted me. No offense to anyone who likes them, I have very close friends who also enjoy these bands, but at least they don't PRETEND to like them. "WELL!! How do you know they were pretending?" - dodging questions about their favorite song of each, and taking a long time to respond was already suspicious enough lol BUT ofc they had to beat me to it. After being asked what bands I like, I mentioned a BUNCH of bands. Mainly those already on my profile here.. and of course I was met with a 'oh yes!! I love them too.' No tf u don't. Get out of my town. I don't get why people pretend to enjoy metal to find friends, when metalheads aren't the nicest to befriend lol (speaking of myself) but oh well. Pls stick to your own stuff. Listen to Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande all you want BUT PLEASEEE don't pretend to like stuff you have 0 knowledge about.

My least favorite is when they like one extreme band they found from TikTok but the rest of what they listen to is Nu-Metal.
Will never stop bringing up my classmates or just people from my school in generel. They consider slipknot, korn and acid bath as heavy shit but oh lord

You are literally speaking my mind right now. Like I have truly realized how common poser are after getting on Roblox for example. People literally spend money on shirts of bands they don't even know are bands in the first place all because they want to look "edgy" or whatever. It is so superficial and annoying. When I call them out on it, they get defensive and say I'm an elitist. I am literally just letting them know its a band like are we fr
It pisses me off so bad, especially when they don't even know if the logo is a band or 'cool print'. Have so many people at my school wearing random shein 'band tees'
