Daily Mail's worst fear. Also the band that saved my life.
{in a strip club}
Guy 1: Is that...My Chemical Romance?
Guy 2: Gah! The emo band! Cover your ears!
Guy 1: Dude...they're just a band...it's not gonna-
Guy 2: COVER YOUR EARS, JARROD!!
Guy 1: You do realize that not only does Gerard Way deny the emo label, but that also MCR has saved tons of kids from killing themselves, right? Iâ
Guy 2, furious: COVER YOUR GODDAMN EARS, JARROD!
Guy 1: I guess all that Daily Mail got in your head.

A label commonly given by elitists to bands that define themselves as a metal subgenre they believe is the catalyst of the downfall of heavy metal.
Elitists, or bullies who diss a band they don't like by using the term, can label metalcore (ex: Attack Attack!, Bring Me the Horizon), glam metal (Kiss, Mötley Crüe), nu metal (Korn, the early works of Deftones), alternative metal (the current works of Deftones, Egypt Central), and some hard rock bandsâeven though they tend to get mislabeled as thatâas fake metal.
It's gotten to a point where people have even tried to say that the only true genre is the one that came from psychedelic, acid, and blues rock, common example for that being Black Sabbath, who also paved the way for doom metal by merging metal with classical and more blues (props to them), and that all these subgenres (thrash for example) are just profit-driven fucks. I think.
Regardless, it's a commonly used term, and there may be a holy war ongoing.
I'm trying to be as neutral as I can for defining this label, so I do apologize if any bias appears.
Elitist: Nu metal is not real metal, you've been brainwashed by the fucking fake metal! Go listen to Carcass, Death, or even Nile!
"Fake" Metalhead: All that stuff is way too amazingly talented for me. I think I'm gonna go listen to Slipknot now.
Me: Who the hell are these people?!
My friend: Welcome to today's societyâ¦also known as the fifth circle of Hell.
Me: I'm just gonnaâ¦walk awayâ¦and listen to whatever the hell I have in my libraryâ¦
So I did. And the elitist and the metalhead continued arguing. Christ.
Jesus Christ himself.
To put it short, Cash was a country musician (he also did blues, folk, rock & roll, and gospel) who was born in Kingsland, Arkansas, on February 26, 1932, and sadly passed away from diabetes on September 12, 2003, at the age of 71.
Johnny Cash forever!
Someone who follows the crowd and does what others do. Another word for this may also be "poser."
Don't go willy-nilly with this. People who legitimately do like a band but only know so little songs don't deserve to be called a bandwagger. Gatekeepers...
Elitist: You bandwagger! Metalcore is NOT allowed on this field! Put on Fuckingcthulhuuntiltimestops and get out!
Me: You do realize we're roommates, right? Besides, I specifically told you that I don't fully identify a metalhead. I just like the music.
God.
We don't need an example for Toby Fox when everyone knows who he is.
A term used by Chernorizets Hrabr to describe Puddle of Mudd. Because Wes Scantlin can't remember he's not Kurt Cobain...or something.
Do you remember when I said Wes Scantlin was accused of lip-syncing? Well, I guess I should stay in the center, and just let the chaos happen.
They're a Puddle of SHIT.
