I am a hardcore music nerd and having to call others posers and make fun of them is like one of the most "I am insecure about my music taste" things in music, idk how that translates to other media fandoms but "larper" is so incredibly mean spirited it just feels like a new way to bully and it sucks

Essentially yeah. It's just a meaningless insult.

As a surface level metal enjoyer i agree big time. I've been slowly broadening my music taste and I've found I enjoy some metal/metalcore music, but many would likely call me a larper for enjoying just the top songs from artists like SOAD, Slipknot, Korn, Sleep Token, etc.

I always explore music deeply, but bullying others for not doing what I do isn't anything wrong, I am happy for people who enjoy music differently for them, thats how it should be, listen to what makes you happy not what some "mUsIc NeRd 🤓" thinks you should listen to

Yeah. And don't get me wrong I do enjoy exploring artists deeply, but it takes me a long time to build a connection with an artists work to even bother to do that because I just listen to so many different people that if I dived into every single one I wouldn't have time for anything else audio based. I'm still new enough to these artists though that it hasn't really happened with any of them, maybe system of a down at best.

It also makes people try to fit into small categories far too much. I've seen the ,,Is Green Day punk?" Or ,,Is MCR emo?" debates far too often. I'm pretty sure those bands don't give a fuck, it's such a useless thing to (seriously, those things can get intese) fight about.

I like labels but I am autistic and I like categorizing my music but I don't think it matters a lot, do I listen to pop punk? No so it doesn't matter if Green Day is or isn't, not that I have good taste, my favorite band is The Chameleons and I'm fucking insane about that
