Someone Creates 14 Memes That Sum Up Musicians’ Audiences, Face Backlash

ADVERTISEMENT

Some a**holes in my school once cut the strings of a guy’s guitar because his music was “gay.” Their behavior was toxic on many levels, one of which is called music gatekeeping. Basically, it’s projecting your own taste as superior to others.

Recently, someone made a batch of memes, mocking both musicians and their audiences.In this narrow-minded series, Billie Eilish became a leader of “girls who think their drug addiction makes them a beautiful disaster” and Post Malone was presented as an artist who makes music “for people too uncultured to know who Ozzy Osborne is.” People across the Internet, however, weren’t feeling these generalizations. Refusing to laugh at them, they reminded us that everyone is entitled to listen to whatever they like. Preach it, folks!

A lot of people have very little sense of humor these days. They'd rather hear applause lines than laugh lines.

Oh my god, lighten up, people. It's just a joke. Absolutely harmless, inoffensive joke. You may find it amusing or not, but don't act like it was some sort of malicious slander against you.

Oh, god forbid you make a joke about something these days. Guess they are personally offended because they adhere to the stereotype? Just smile at these and turn on your spotify playlist with whatever music you like. This is not 'gatekeeping'. Pfff.

Yes, someone was triggered, obviously, and you are now indifferent to their pain. Shame on you.
