Gatekeepers of Time 

The same basic definition of a gatekeeper, except these control the time speech is made and not the speech itself. Time and space in a newspaper are similar. Therefor, gatekeepers of time can also be gatekeepers of space.

The television station not only gate keeps the information, but they are also the "gatekeepers of time." Or, the sales department at the radio station sells drive time at a rate I can not afford for my speech. Therefor, I must speak at a time not of my choosing.

In the case of the print medium, gatekeepers of space control "where" and "what size" my speech may take up, if any. Cost is also a factor in the space time equation of time/space gatekeeping.

gatekeeper 

Someone who has the mindset that 'if you're not a fan/part of this (famous figure, a trend), you absolutely cannot join. Someone who always make things more complicated, always adds a controversy or an issue to a certain trend.

These gatekeepers are often found in the Philippines, making memes out of trends.

"Hey, avatar is now available on Facebook! Should we try it?"

"Yes, we should. But we need to take care— gatekeepers are on their way to make a meme out of this trend."

Emo Gatekeeper 

To a normal person, emo music consists of bands such as My Chemical Romance, The Used, Jimmy Eat World and Paramore. However, an Emo Gatekeeper would claim that it’s “too melodramatic and staged!!!!!” They say emo is not supposed to be mainstream (which is a dumb thought in itself, because these bands are helping out your emo concept, but whatever).

They always go on rants that usually consists of something similar to this:
“Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. “ They never stop to realize that literally no one gives a shit.

Their examples of “Real Emo” always consists of like the same five bands: Rites of Spring, Embrace, Cap n Jazz, Embrace, and Loma Prieta.

The first Rites of Spring album (who they usually call the first emo band) was released in 1985. This fits in with their age (usually around 50) because it’s proves they probably have an emotional attachment to their childhood emo bands and are scared of change. You kinda gotta feel bad for them.

People who listen to normal emo (shit like mcr) don’t really at all about what music is or isn’t, they just like the music. Emo Gatekeepers seem to be the only ones who push their beliefs so hard.

Dude 1: Hey, dude 2! Wanna listen to some emo?

Dude 2: Sure! I love MCR and Paramore

Emo Gatekeeper; *busts through wall* “LISTEN HERE KID YOU CLEARLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT EMO MEANS! EMO DERIVES FROM THE DC EMOTIONAL HARDC-“

Dudes 1 & 2: Bro, no one gives a shit

Biff fought a gatekeeper in his latest bout and put on a good performance.
