You’ll know a poser when they like bands you don’t like
😂
Or if they have a life
You'll know YOU are a poser when you don't like bands you actually like.

How to spot a poser
Step 1: look yourself in the mirror
Step 2: ☹️
The same method I use on a daily basis for myself. 😂
This works, he was right behind me!
The real poser was in us all along
oh damn i thought my post was original :(
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌
I still think that gatekeeping is a good thing, but way too often people don't understand the difference between posers and newbies.
Barely. The closest thing to a poser outrage in the last decade was when h&m made fake battle vests for $300 a piece
Same. There's nothing wrong when people are new or just ignorant of genre differences that can take a bit at first, but it's a problem when people go into it just because they want to look edgy/hard/kvlt, posturing for clout for their Instagram haha. They should be there for the music, u can tell when someone's not in it for the music.
Meh even gatekeeping a genre is kinda stupid tbh. There's certain bands and songs that I will never grow tired of but the unfortunate reality is that if a music genre is to improve over time it needs to change and if the genre sticks to the same old thing forever and the fans are pushing everything and everyone away that tries anything different the music and the attitudes of the fans overall will begin to get kind of pretentious and annoying.
@@lotsapasta0858no, I don’t want to let people who don’t even like the music and want to change the things I enjoy about something into the community.
@@lotsapasta0858 this generally applies to genres other than Black Metal. If gatekeeping is removed from Black Metal entirely then it would lose the very spirit that makes it Black Metal in the first place and would be reduced to the exact opposite of what it set out to be.
A good tip is to buy t-shirts of new bands. That way whenever someone asks you to list all their albums, you just say the name of the only one they released so far and they will never find out you're a poser.
make up the most random shit because 9/10 it's a band alreadu
Based profile picture
Random people actually ask you to list albums or songs?
a better tip is to just start saying random Weezer songs
Will u also be wearing the shirt once? Cos eventually they'll release more songs
I always sound like an idiot when someone questions me so directly like that I just instantly forget every band and song that I have ever heard 😂
Yo same😹
Rachel!
Just gotta take deep breaths 😂
Damn that sucks, I remember every band I've ever liked including their songs due to my Eidetic memory so if anybody asked me that question then I'll just have to specify cause I have top 10 lists for everything.
I don’t even know what my name is if someone puts me in these situations 😂
as a poser I can confirm this is 100% accurate
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
now go listen to Testament
That tongue caught me offgaurd haha
As a metalhead it is way better to be a poser than a metalhead
if you think youre not a poser then youre a poser, if you dont think about stupid shit like this then youre not a poser I guess
No it's not.
what the fuck are you talking about ?
I don't know but I think I get what you mean 😅👌
More flexible choices are you thinking or not ?
Actually being a poser can have its restrictions to 😂
To be fair, what else do you call someone who pretends to like Black Metal but literally knows nothing about it at all, but still pretends to for some fucking reason?
It used to be a lot easier to tell a poser from a newbie. Name a list of bands, wait about 2 weeks then ask politely what they thought of the bands. Even if most of the bands on the list aren't named there will be other bands discovered by the true newbie that you will be told about during that conversation. The poser will probably not look into even the original list of bands never mind branch out.
MAN! I love Black Metal too!
My favorite artists are Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran and Ghost!
Poser spotted: ghost isn't metal
@@slebonafidekappa9422 Right. I loved that track "chainsaw gutsfuck" by Ariana Grande.
@@Mp57navyposer spotted. Reason: Mayhem
@@the-postal-dude ok, but will you sign this petition? 👉📋
@@rotta4667 yeah, i guess that sounds pretty good
It’s always fun to give newbies recommendations, but I definitely think that people who clearly don’t even like metal and whine 24/7 about “elitists” or whatever should be gatekept
People like that usually don't win against natural selection
Black metal has the most pretentious fan base. You don’t hear much of that with other genres.
@@humantacos9800 I like that about black metal. No pandering to losers who don’t even like the music
@@giwrgospetrou1159 Comment sections are loaded with something along the lines of "not kvlt enough." Unless it's recorded on a boombox in a metal trashcan in mono too many BM fans will shit on it.
@@giwrgospetrou1159 lol. Maybe. I got recommended a band called Satanic Warmaster it had that same recording style. I mean, I record/engineer bands, and in the age of digital recording you have to try to get that bad of a sound (outside of dusting off analog equipment and keeping mics 2 feet away), the comment section was filled with "dude, so kvlt" andd " I love this recording, this is real black metal" lol.
Hearing the word poser gave me highschool flashbacks, and that was 20 years ago. Do people still care about this stuff? Seemed like a really stupid critique even at the time.
It's way more popular now and gatekeeping is super annoying.
@@CerealExperimentsMizukiain't no wya you think gatekeeping is MORE common. But u right it's annoying
Dude, I don't even like any Black Metal outside of Early Bathory, which is just chromatic Hardcore Punk, really. First wave stuff doesn't sound close to what's established today post-2nd wave (Mayhem onward). Anyway, if you read Ekeroth's 'Swedish Death Metal' you'll find that the Black Metal community is very elitist, socially awkward, mentally unstable and from privileged lives. Their gatekeeping came from a psycho kid who judged bands' 'trve kvltness' based on their contradiction to established norms of more popular extreme music. Now, Black Metal is the most popular and largest draw for high-privileged white kids to feel cool about. It's really wack to me and hope y'all weirdos just stay with it and leave Death Metal and all of Punk alone. Cheers.@@kastenbrustarmory6907
normally i like atleast a couple songs from every band. i just like my metal music and dont really research the bands unless they are special
Most people don't care, only those that have nothing going on in life are gatekeeping.
I travel to gigs with unknown (to me) bands just because I am curious and sometimes, I buy their T-shirts or music just to support them. I like most of them, but I rarely listen to them at home. In the end, someone's tastes are irellevant - it's the support which matters the most.
Great attitude!
This! I don't buy albums anymore like in the good old days when CDs still were a big thing. So nowadays if I see a gig I really like, I like to support the band by bying their shirt - and it also helps me remember good bands if I want to listen something else than silence at my home :D Also, I don't give a fuck if someone sees my shirt and is offended that I'm not able to list names of the songs and band members and the names of their childhood favorite pets and... :D
All knowledge of bands immediately leaves my head when someone at a show asks me about my favorite black metal bands. I always feel like an idiot because I can only ever remember bands like Mayhem, Darkthrone, and Immortal on the spot. The only times I can remember other band are when I'm literally wearing their shirt; I get quite a few comments about my Felvum, Lamp of Murmuur, and Swamp Witch shirts.
Can't relate, that's terrible. If anybody asked me what my favourite band is then I'll inatsntly list my top 10 favourite bands starting with Peteychor.
Dude, if you're that sensitive and susceptible, and still listen to metal... SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. SATAN NEEDS TO PUT THINGS BACK IN (DIS)ORDER.
@@HeathenDance bro that was edgy asf not everyone spends 10 hours a day mastrubating on the thought of satan yk
@@HeathenDancesatan is for posers if you wanna be a rebel follow Christ
For me it goes like this:
Guy: What's your favorite song of band X?
Me: "Err, you know the one that goes: *switches between imitating high speed double base and black metal melody* I think it's like the fourth song on the album"
he had us in the first half ngl
In my experience, it’s the posers who push these conversations. They want to talk about the genre they don’t understand and challenge me when I casually respond to their inaccuracies. I tell them something they’re not yet aware of, and then they try to gatekeepe me when they only know like 2 bands from the genre and then they get an attitude when you don’t just agree with their uninformed opinions.
When someone asks me wikipedia questions about the band shirt that i am wearing, I will also ask them to give me the names of the employees working for calvin klein or tommy hilfiger or whatever shirt they are wearing.
Right? So annoying.
Like bro I'm wearing the shirt because it looks nice and want to support the band.
Not the same, wearing a t shirt with the band logo means passion for it, thus you should know it. Wearing a random tshirt with whatever the logo and origins is from, means that you don't care much about the cloth more than being comfy enough.
As a newbie rocker exploring the metal genre this had me cackling. Love this and much love to you!
I suspect he meant to say "Durbatuluk" :P
When you came for the jokes but stayed for the FX. That was one of your better sketches, not only humorwise, but also for the effort that went into it. Especially that scene with the tongue. I didn´t know you could do that with Davinci. I really need to spend more time with that software. That mirror scene at the end was also pretty awesome👍
Some of the big Hollywood blockbusters are edited with DaVinci. You can basically do ANYTHING with it.
@@FarvannFarvann man I swear the tongue scene was fucking genius, shit was so funny and stupid I love it 😭
what does FX mean?

My reflection on the mirror: Always has been..
I literally can't even fuckin remember what I ate yesterday and my birthday date, no way I would remember informations about bands I don't even care about lol
Apparently you can't remember the meaning of literal. I imagine you never knew it, though.

Yes.
That’s a different thing!
same :3
Being a newcomer is OK. Still, I encourage research. Know what you are talking about.
Its not required to enjoy music, but fans do invest themselves into music. When you have a conversation
just tell em you are new to it, I am more than positive that another fan would be more than happy to tell you all he/she
knows and take you to school. Nothing wrong with it. You would be surprised on how much respect you can gain by saying,
"I really dont know " and be open to learning more. Dont lie about it.
yea i’m new into metal. haven’t had any conversations irl about it but online i usually say “oh, by the way i just got into this band so i don’t know a lot about them yet but i like what songs i’ve heard so far.” usually people are pretty respectful so as long as you aren’t doing any weird shit most people are cool with the fact that you’re new
There's people who thought he'd say dark throne and others dark funeral
Back after a while! I loved how he guessed a band name by watching the guy's approval 😂😂😂
You’ll know a poser when they have trouble telling the difference between different subgenres of metal, or they can’t recall that many of the song and album names of their favorite bands.
Oh wait that’s me sorry
Don’t totally agree with that I think being nick picke is just the other end of fake 😝😂
How can't you tell the difference between metal genres? I mean, some people might split hairs but if you can't tell the difference between raw black metal and brutal death metal, or speed metal and doom metal, you're just mentally handicapped.
@@icankillbugs yeah probably but you seem a bit mentally ignorant 😂
@@icankillbugs True, but I was exaggerating, because I meant more like subgenres of subgenres. Like for instance, blackened death metal and traditional black metal kind of splits hairs, though I do understand the difference it gets blurred, especially when some bands incorporate several different styles. I also don’t like it when a band that goes outside of the boundaries of their subgenre and get excluded by Orthodox gatekeepers. it may be verging on a different genre at some point, but it seems pointless to get too much into semantics when it means that expanding ones artistic scope is discouraged. For instance, I respect and cherish the unique character of traditional black metal, but don’t think it’s fair to exclude certain bands like Dimmu Borgir, Rotting Christ, or Behemoth that originated in or still identify with black metal.
As for my bad recollection of album and song names, I chalk that up to my overfondness of the halflings leaf.
@@icankillbugs didn’t say I couldn’t entirely wow you really have a hard life is this really the only thing in your life you have to worry about 😂
0:54 Ofncourse I'm going! Nokturnal Mortum, Inquisition, Gorgoroth. Top top lineup.
I enjoy being called a poser by people I barely even know. I like the more polished sound; so sue me. 🤷♂️
I love the black metal music you put in the background!!
1:51 😆🤣!!! I’m from America, and I WENT to school in elementary and middle (high school as well!) school with posers! We had what’s called Spirit Weeks when we got to wear whatever we wanted to wear and there was no need to wear school uniforms, and one day my classmate showed up wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt. I ran up to them and said “Wow, dude! I TOTALLY FREAKING LOVE ur shirt! You have an AMAZING taste in music, man!” And they were like standing there, looking at me confused, and then, I pointed at their tee, and they were like: “What’s Pink Floyd?”
this entire skit reminds me of how me and an old friend were on our way back from an anime con, we were duo cosplaying and stopped at a store for some food near the con, and this group of friends asked us to take cool group-like selfies with them, we did, and then they immediately casually ran off when i asked them what their fave game--from the series we were cosplaying as (i dont feel comfortable specifying bc ik how ppl can be in this scene lol)--was. it still confuses me. i hope we werent being cruelly made fun of either.
Ahahahah Great video man!!!!
The mirror part is so fluid, congrats!!
dude your videos are so spot on.
Ok: Han - Breathing the Void is a relatively new band from Switzerland, that focusses on the classic BM sound but with more elaborate production value. They tend to put catchy melodics into their songs every now and then. Especially the title song Breathing the void sticks nastily in the head. \m/
Man its just straight criminal that you havent pased 100k subs yet man can wait tell you reach it 🤘
Next year maybe 😄
im a new to the black metal genre, and I must say this channel is helping me a lot
That sounds like a newbie or poser comment to make 😂

Ah, Korgonthurus. I saw them last friday at Steelchaos and they slayed the hell out! I’m thrilled about their upcoming LP, can’t wait to hear it!
😂🤘 great video 😂 greetings from Black metal fan from Finland 🇫🇮
A poser is someone who pretends to know a genre, while a noob is someone who is open to knowing everything and genuinely wants to but doesnt yet
Also, understand that people, mostly younger ones, make friends before acquiring a taste for a music genre and its scene. And since visual is the first thing you are exposed to and the easiest to understand, people will have the look way before the knowledge. People want to fit in, I have never met a real poser in my life (not saying they don't exist), just various degrees of beginners and casuals.
Personally I bought two band shirts just a few weeks/months after listening my first metal songs, I was 12 so yeah, normal impulsive behavior, but I'm sure some lighter headed and impulsive grown-up could do the same, lashing on them could very well be considered okay gatekeeping to some, be careful.
Plus if UA-cam taught me something, it's that being questioned by strangers on the street can make your mind go numb and you can forget well known informations.
"fun fact" + small rant, I didn't bought another band merch in like 18 years, but now all of my shirts are from a different band, I take them at gigs if possible, but it's usually only tour merch which I dislike... Please, bands, bring also simpler stylized merch for people that don't want 50 shirts of the same band, I'd rather give you the full money, but store ones are often nicer. The rest of my clothes are extremely normal brandless shit. (except my Gojira hoodie, because Gojira is life, more people should know about Gojira)
Maybe the posers are the friends we made along the way...
I really enjoy quite a large amount of genres in metal including black metal. I have gained quite a lot of knowledge over the years. However am i the only one that puts an entire bands discography on shuffle and lets it play throughout a workshift, driving, autopilot duties, etc? I know i like the songs i can tell different albums based on record quality, sound, style and so on.. but more often then not i cant name songs or albums from an artist unless i delibrately study and read off every song and album as they play. Its so much information.. most of the time when asked which songs or albums i like i usually describe the album art bc im a visual learner and i remember artworks far easier than the sometimes painfully long or complicated titles of albums and songs. I know im not a poser since i genuinely enjoy the music, however i will most likely always fail these "tests" unless i basically make flash cards or a song stands out so much that i revisit it multiple times.
Somebody asked me once to name some Iron Maiden albums. I told him I could name all of 'em 😅. He didn't ask further questions 😂
I must look like a poser when I stammer when trying to recall or pronounce a band name that was written in the most ancient, obscure language known to man.
I love the message in the end. 😂🤙
In Conclusion: name me 3 songs

Some one tried to gatekeeper me
I was wearing a Conflict Tee. ‘Name three songs’ was the question. After detailing some of their back catalogue I asked them back what was their favourite album and had they seen them live too….. I’ll let you guess the response ….
It’s not cool to gatekeep
much better to engage and talk about what you like about whatever band and suggest some albums to listen to….
Nah, it's good to hold posers accountable. Why would anyone like fake fan?! But in ur case apparently the person was the poser himself 🙉 I've never heard a poser trying to act as poser exposer thou! 😱 #NextLevelMindgames
@@venus-band Huh? You think it's cool to wear shirts of bands u don't even listen to?! What is the value of being a fake fan? It's a disgrace!
I was going to comment something about gatekeeping, but you stole my point at the end there XD
Gøy video!
Gatekeeping is in the eyes of the poser....
In the 80's posers were people who claimed to be Metal heads but only were into the huge trendy commercial arena bands and were ignorant to more extreme and underground bands. To them, Iron Maiden was the heaviest it got. They got their info from MTV and trendy 7-11 magazines like Hit Parader & Circus.
Iron maiden ❤🔥
Fashion models are posers by default
Good point at the end. I've been a MetalHead for over 30 years. I really don't bother questioning people like this. To me, for the sake of the band and their sales, better poser exposure than none at all. There were a a few times that i got into a band because of seeing someone wearing their shirt. Don't know if any of them were posers. Doesn't matter cuz the band still got revenue from us.
this is how i am in any conversation
3 Farvann und der Meddl 😹
Aber es sind doch nur zwei 😄
The names of songs, lol? If that’s the test, I’m in trouble! Prolly my favorite band right now is Revenge, and I can promise you I couldn’t name a single song title off the top of my head if ya paid me.
that ending was too reall.. 😭
I like Swedish metal band like Roxette and ABBA. 🤘
Love the Korgonthurus shirt
Gatekeeping can be based on reason sometimes, and I find absolutely nothing wrong with that!
It's not that We are these pure Metal Elitistic A-holes, it's just We can tell the difference right away, because We aren't dumb!
Sometimes, I can be the Elitist type, but then, I got to remind Myself that... "Shit... I'm being that guy, ain't I?"... You know?
But just try and be careful though, because You don't want to come off as an ignorant A-hole, when basically, YOU KNOW good music personally, and simply just wish to please the listener for entertainment and try to make them see where You are coming from on a personal level by the interests of Your favourite influences!
that twist though!
Nice plot twist!

I love giving recommendations to newbies just to see them go on the same discovery you know.
But yes there are people that need to be gatekept out.

I once thought I had a poser cornered, and I asked him what his favorite black metal band is. He hit me with Weakling and I just said gd on your way sir.
What a poser. Weakling? The name of the band tells you what they're gonna sound like. Weakling! Hahaha what a bunch of poser shite. For fans of The Shining and Sunbather and Ghost Bath and Lamp of Murmur lol
I was once introduced to a dude by someone at work who knew we both liked metal. So obviously being curious to find out more about him, I asked the guy what bands he liked, but weirdly never actually got an actual answer. I just got ‘complicated ones’ which was the closest thing to an answer he gave me. Am still pissed about it to this day... fuckin’ poser 😠
Actually I saw Dark Funeral in Steelfest lol they played The Secrets Of The Black Arts if I remember right hahaha
My favorite band is Darkbatuluk

Slowly getting into black metal myself. Started listening to deathcore last year through Shadow of Intent, then to death metal, then down the rabbit hole of death. Tried black, wasn't a fan, but I'm beginning to like it now. Any suggestions?
