Gatekeeping is a way of protecting cool things (like certain music, style, hobby...) used by the OGs.We protect these things from posers/trend followers/normies so they dont become mainstream.If you get mad at people who gatekeep you are one of those 3 things(poser/trend follower/normie).If you support it and use it you are probably an OG/real fan.
Mia:hey i was bullying you for being emo in middle school but now i like that style and im a goth.
Lela:no you are not a real goth you are just following trends and you will hop on the next trend when this ends so might as well stop embarrassing yourself and embarrassing all the real goths.
Mia:noo but i found myself this is what i like
Lela: no you didnt you was an egirl a month ago and a vsco girl 5 months ago that is not how this works
Mia:its the gatekeeping for me🧚 ♀️
Lela:shut the f up
