Authoritarian cocksuckers who hate all metal outside of Slayer, Pantera, and those shitty generic thrash metal bands from the 80s. Claim to be fighting against "corporate metal" but in reality just attack anything they deem to be shit, regardless of whether it is corporate or not. Gathering places include Metal Archives and YouTube comments on metal videos. They also claim there is such a thing as "real metal" when in reality musical taste is entirely subjective, and there is no right or wrong in terms of liking music or disliking it.

A Metal Elitist is a fan of metal music who denigrates the tastes of other metal heads and considers their own to be intellectually superior. Metal Elitists regard any band with a degree of commercial success as being “not real metal,” and consider any fans of such bands “posers.” There is a crossover between the Metal Elitist and Neckbeard personas, as both such persons regard themselves as far smarter than their peers, disparage the tastes of “normies,” and do not regard women as “real” fans of their respective subcultures. The stereotypical Metal Elitist is a single, mid-30’s male who only listens to bands with illegible, scratchy logos and, like the stereotypical Neckbeard, lives in his mother’s basement eating junk food and posting on message boards. As stated previously, Metal Elitists have strong opinions about what “real metal” is, usually considering subgenres like deathcore and metalcore to be particularly offensive, in no small part due to their commercial success, younger and female fan bases, and emphasis on looks and fashion. Their own favorite bands are almost always underground, not necessarily because of the quality of the music, but because their obscure status, which to the Metal Elitist, makes them more “trve” than bands with name recognition. At their most extreme, Metal Elitists will try to one up each other by claiming to like less and less of a band’s catalog, to the point that some claim to “only like the first album” or even “only like the demo.”
“Lol, is that a Slipknot shirt? You know that’s not even real metal, right? I bet you can’t even name five of their songs.”
“Oh sorry, I didn’t realize you were a Metal Elitist.”

A person who claims thrash metal, outside of the big four(Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax), is the best genre of music. They also claim their music is better than anything you listen to. Also known as a metal snob.

An insult used on a person who knows alot bout Heavy Metal, because he refuses to accept the insulter's favorite Grindcore Punk band as being part of this music genre.
"Metal Elitists" are usually described as being rude. This might be true or not depending on how long they have been listening to Heavy Metal and the character of the person itself. A "Metal Elitist" who has been listening to Heavy Metal for example 7 years are actually the usual ones being bullied.

Dude1: - "DAMN, Avenged Sevenfold is the greatest 'Metal' band THAT EVER LIVED!"
Dude2 (supposed Metal Elitist): - "I don't think they are Heavy Metal, they're more like a combination of Hardcore Punk intrumentals with Emo Punk vocals, and a small but not significant touch of Heavy Metal. I would call them Punk.
Dude1: - "ZOMG, what are you talking about? THEY MAKE NOISE! Therefore, THEY'RE METAL! YOU ELITIST! I bet you think those old fucks Black Sabbath are Metal! LOL, you're weird.

Metal Elitist is a term made up by people that hate die hard Metal fans that are 100% Metalheads. These anti-Metal people want them to go hand in hand with the idea of all being assholes.
A real Metal Elitist is a person that only loves and listens to Metal while not supporting any other type of music in any way. Yet, most people have an extremely negative view of this idea because Metal Elitists can be rude or posers pretending to be Elitists.
The biggest genres that Metal Elitists usually attack is Deathcore, Metalcore, Nu-Metal, and Rapcore. Many believe Deathcore is a rival of Death Metal which makes seniority and skill come to mind. Metalcore is compared to an Emo like style of vocals/musicianship. Nu-Metal is believe to be the biggest sellout genre to mainstream (non-Metal) audiences. Rapcore has rapping as vocal style and Rap has always been the nemesis of Metal.

A person who puts other metalheads down for their taste in metal. These people will generally like and worship heavier, more extreme metal (call it the "trve metal") and any band they don't listen to is "gay" or "faggy". They love to make fun of bands like Slipknot and Metallica. Basically any band that gets popular among the metal community. Usually male, these homophobic scum congregate in the YouTube comment section and almost anywhere where metal is mentioned, these guys will appear. If they say they like a band you like, they will still try to put you down by saying their demo or debut record was the best and everything else was sell-out material. If you want to get into metal, you'll have to deal with these guys. They are the worst part of metal.
Cool Metalfan: I like Metallica, Cannibal Corpse, Slayer, Death, Slipknot, and Dream Theater. I also love classic rock and some pop music when it's good. I have a very eclectic taste in music. What do you listen to?
Metal Elitist: Take absolutely no offense from this, but your musical taste is trash and you should hang yourself. You should listen to trve metal like 69Goreface.
