    Might be metal. Most modern metal has a kind of kayfabe attached to it where the over the top nature of it is kind of… ironic? I dunno, feels like there’s something there.

      I agree, it’s metal because of the kayfabe. And it gets even funnier when you think about all the metal purists who take it super seriously and try to gatekeep it

        I enjoy the kayefabe part of metal so the gatekeepers always amuse the hell out of me. Like, some dude goes on stage dressed in studded leather and corpsepaint singing about Satan fucking Jesus with a crucifix and then he goes home and tucks his kids into bed and posts pictures of taking his dog on walkies.
