People constantly gatekeep metal music and it has become the norm for when I talk about metal with a stranger.

That's why I want to know what the weirdest thing people gatekeep?

Does anyone else feel like they used to have the perspective that others were gate keeping them when they were much younger?

I feel like I used to think like this, but I had the realization that I just wasn't asking the right questions or around the right influences/environment. Like with music, I'm a metal head, but it isn't a definitive part of me like it was when I was younger. I'm unlikely to engage with anyone on the topic and would likely have trouble remembering a bunch of info if I was put on the spot.
