A Metal Elitist is a fan of metal music who denigrates the tastes of other metal heads and considers their own to be intellectually superior. Metal Elitists regard any band with a degree of commercial success as being “not real metal,” and consider any fans of such bands “posers.” There is a crossover between the Metal Elitist and Neckbeard personas, as both such persons regard themselves as far smarter than their peers, disparage the tastes of “normies,” and do not regard women as “real” fans of their respective subcultures. The stereotypical Metal Elitist is a single, mid-30’s male who only listens to bands with illegible, scratchy logos and, like the stereotypical Neckbeard, lives in his mother’s basement eating junk food and posting on message boards. As stated previously, Metal Elitists have strong opinions about what “real metal” is, usually considering subgenres like deathcore and metalcore to be particularly offensive, in no small part due to their commercial success, younger and female fan bases, and emphasis on looks and fashion. Their own favorite bands are almost always underground, not necessarily because of the quality of the music, but because their obscure status, which to the Metal Elitist, makes them more “trve” than bands with name recognition. At their most extreme, Metal Elitists will try to one up each other by claiming to like less and less of a band’s catalog, to the point that some claim to “only like the first album” or even “only like the demo.”
