a metal elitist is a person, typically an older metalhead guy or an incel teenage boy, who only listens to metal, likes to gatekeep metal, and will call you a poser if you like nu metal or popular metal bands. they are usually misogynistic and will call anything that doesnt fall under an extreme metal genre mid.
Me: “I like the bands Korn and Slipknot. I am also a fan of Metallica.”

Metal Elitist: “Theres no way you like that mallcore bullshit! All they do is sing about angst and dress like rappers! How could you possibly want to listen to a song where a man expresses his emotions? Poser!” *recommends you a black metal band that makes songs about killing minorities*

Someone whose brain has left them for listening to Burzum. Usually the result of bad parenting and/or asshole p.e. teacher. They believe there should not be any other bands besides the one they like and that noone can have a different opinion.
Jake is such a metal elitist, yet he is a poser.
