    Personally, I get where they’re coming from. I too was a metalhead and grunge fanatic who considered people who preferred pop and techno music a different species and a hostile one at that.

    I’d since grown up, though, and found that, while it’s good to belong to a community, “the others” wearing its trappings doesn’t detract from it or the good memories and gatekeeping is just a petty thing to do IMO 🤷

    Edit: fixed my spell check apparently thinking that gatekeeping is behavior typical of Tom Petty, since it capitalized the word 😄

      Well, here’s a spoiler: their songs are basically satire. They also have songs on BMW drivers, indian/pakistani nightshop owners, vegans, …

      It is true, everybody should be allowed to wear what they like.

          That, and me assuming people would understand it’s satire 🙃
