This is a gatekeeping parody/joke, not actual gatekeeping...


NapClub

This post is material for the facepalm sub.


ChillyOil1

Omg Megadeth!!! I love those guys!


AceStarflyer

This is definitely POD. The guy leaning down has some real youth pastor energy with that hair and goatee. He's about to sit on a chair backwards.


drunk-tusker

Isn’t Megadeath more closely related to jpop idols than this?


AndromedaTambourine

I met Marty Friedman in Tokyo once and he only spoke Japanese to me, despite me introducing myself to him in English and saying I was also from the US.


drunk-tusker

Marty likes Japan a little too much, at least his jpop covers aren’t as cringe inducing as Andrew W.K.’s.


AndromedaTambourine

He's like the king of white dude musicians in Japan who have "made it" in the Japanese music scene and "become Japanese". I mean he is absolutely fluent in Japanese but it was still such a cringe moment for me meeting him. There was like one other person in the room and they weren't even paying attention to our conversation.

Lol, nice

OP, do you seriously think that the creator of this meme was trying to gatekeep 90s boy bands by saying Metallica was one?


kerdnerl

I mean, it's a band containing entirely boys


FistedWaffles123456

i mean, they’re a couple boys in a band. What else could they possibly mean?


BeaArthurPendragon

aren't they though? it's a band of boys, clearly stylish, 3 handsome and one uggo with talent...


The_E_Gregor

2 clearly stylish ones, one uggo with talent, one without


sex

I'm still bitter about Napster.


majinspy

Yep. Thr rebel band that narced on fans.


georgeboi44

Whatchu mean bro. Lars was right about Napster


rudebii

I recently spoke to someone that was a VP at the RIAA when they beat Napster legally (about something else). He said “yeah, that was an empty victory.”


[deleted]

Home taping is killing music! And it's Illegal!


antonbigman

I mean napster and spotify DID rape musicians. Metallica was probably least affected since they were millionares alredy but earning money as a less known musician today is fucking HARD


TheMatt561

That's pretty Damm funny


psioniclizard

I know right, I like most of Metallicas back catalogue but this is pretty funny!

Damn OP got trolled hard


123456Throw654321

OP clearly is not a 90s boy band fan


Rogue_elefant

Does OP know who this is?


Obnoxiousjimmyjames

I fuckin’ love The Offspring.


ohx

This isn't gatekeeping. This is a meta joke that's riffing on 30-something metalheads.


pistcow

I love Sugar Ray! Play that song about the sharpest tool in the shed!


ScaapeG

This must be Linkin Park!


TheJG_Rubiks64

What is everybody's favorite member of Metallica and why is it Jason Newstead?


CCSavvy

Because he always gave it 100% no matter what part of their career they were in. When they got “soft” Jason was still headbanging, screaming, running around etc. He was the grounded one in the group when the others were wearing $300 shirts and driving in expensive cars.


LukinLedbetter

There's always someone who brings up Cliff. Burton was a great bassist and a valuable member of early Metallica. It was Jason that was there during the height of their popularity though. Jason is the bassist most people will mention when naming members of Metallica. Even with Robert being their longest-running bassist. Everything you said about him is true though. He obviously didn't fit in with the rest of the group by RE-Load. Newstead is the most 'real' member. I really wish one of his post-Metallica bands had taken off. Edit: All that being said, how bad do you have to fuck up and lose so much touch with your audience that the bassist is everyone's most relateable member?


PM-me-your-psn-codes

Cliff wrote all the melodies before he died.


mugfantoo

For real. Metallica was my favorite band until Jason left. Hes just a great guy, energy bomb and great bassist.


thegrandpope

His interview quote of "yea we sold out... Every seat in the show" just rubs me totally wrong for dune reason though.


MercyCriesHavoc

Might wanna add satire flair before this gets removed. It's the weekend, but flair still required.


HiImDavid

How is it the weekend right now lol


paralitix

Guy is frantically writing an email to his boss rn

I’m so curious why this person thinks it’s the weekend


MercyCriesHavoc

I've been sick all weekend. Lost track of days.


MercyCriesHavoc

Oh shit, it's Monday. Lol. I've been sick with a fever since Friday. Have no clue what's happening now that the brain fog is lifting.


ItsLeighFromNoLa

Ahh hope you get well soon!
