Poser metalhead has bands you recognize on his battle vest (thehardtimes.net)

Metalhead and total poser Greg Borneck had patches for bands that you recognized on his battle vest when you saw him in the crowd at an Exhumed show, disgusted sources report.

“Yeah man, I had a lot of fun putting this together,” Borneck said. “I grew up a huge Sepultura fan, so of course I had to put a ‘Beneath the Remains’ patch on there. I also figured I couldn’t go wrong with a Kreator ‘Pleasure to Kill’ backpatch, because that album is an absolute thrash masterpiece. I’ve also got a few death metal band patches on here, like Morbid Angel and Deicide. You know, just really classic stuff that any metalhead can get behind. I just love whipping this bad boy out to go to a show. It is usually quite the conversation starter, not to mention a scowl starter for some reason.” [...]

I thought this community was for satire, not real shit.

Look, I don't know what to tell you. Posers are all over the place. They'll pretend to not like metal just so that they can turn their nose up at even more bands. It's ridiculous.

Borneck needs to add an extra Sleep Token patch in there, just to really fuck with the gatekeepers.
