A Metal Boy From Hell post.
He tells you at the party that he's really into old-school metal. You ask what he's listening to at the moment. He gets his phone out, scrolls past 400 photos of his dog, and plays the one song from the car advert. Her dating profile says "only listens to metal, don't message if you like pop". Her year in music, posted proudly on the same profile, is four songs from one Evanescence album and a sea shanty. A man at the gym wears a band shirt for a tour that ended before he was born. You mention the band. He says "yeah, love them" with the eyes of someone who bought the shirt in a supermarket for £8. It was on offer. Your uncle explains at Christmas that real metal died in 1986. Then he explains which album killed it. Then he explains why his son's band doesn't count, while his son sits right there, eating a sprout. **Why it caught on:** a teenager in an Ozzy Osbourne shirt throwing the devil horns became the face of the poser metal fan, with plenty of the posts in Spanish from Latin American fans settling scores. Every genre has someone who loves it slightly wrong, and metal fans have made spotting him a sport.
