The Worst Gatekeeping EVER!

Ep. 163
•

In 2024 you cant talk about metal without talking about gatekeeping. Sophie and Yasmine look at some of the worst examples of this baffling online pass time from the world of alternative music and beyond. Find out what Rob Zombie did that made his own fans turn on him. We hear a take on why Black Sabbath shouldnt be called metal and why a person should not throw up the rock horns unless they can name every song on every Slayer album. Plus find out why you should not announce your proud achievements on Twitter.
