Someone who doesn't consider the nuances of emo music as a genre, and always try to shut down the conversation about what bands are considered part of the genre or not. They always refer bands like American Football, The Promise Ring, The Get Up Kids, and other midwest emo bands as "true emo", and anything mainstream like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Paramore as "fake emo".
They also like using the excuse "Gerard Way hates MCR being called emo" and completely ignoring that Rites of Spring and Jawbreaker also hated being called emo, but they proceed to insist their emo title anyways. It's the same thing that happened with Grunge and Nu Metal before where people used the excuse that bands hated labels, thus they aren't part of it.
Their primary source for this information comes from isthisbandemo.com which 1. Is an extremely contradictory website (stating bands like Senses Fail and Pierce the Veil aren't emo, but bands similar to them like Silverstein and Coheed and Cambria are) 2. They change emo rulings all the time (they used to consider The Used emo, but not anymore, or when they used to not consider Paramore emo, but now they do, etc.) and 3. The website owner came out and said that it shouldn't even be taken seriously back in 2019.
Obviously, there are some bands that aren't emo that people can clear the waters about like Panic! at the Disco or Twenty One Pilots, but to gatekeep what is "real and fake emo" is ridiculous.

Get the gatekeeper mug.When your fucking your girlfriend in the ass you pull out before you come and spit on her back then your friend jumps out of your closet and hits her in the head with a shovel. You then come in her eye and your friend starts to do her in the ass. At this point you hit her with the shovel until she becomes unconscious, not too hard because you don't want to kill her, and put the shovel in her hands like a gravekeeper.
Joe: You called Becky after we gave her that Houdini gravekeeper last night.
Sam: I think she forgot after we knocked her out but I'm too scared to call and find out.

Get the Houdini gravekeeper mug.When your doing your girlfriend in the ass and you grab a shovel and hit her in the head with it. Then you pull out and come in her eye. After that you take the shovel and snap it in half so half the shaft and the head of the shovel is in one hand and the other half of the shaft and the handle of the shovel is in the other hand. You then thrust the part of the shovel with the handle on it into her pussy, making sure the shaft goes in first not the handle. Finally you hit her in the head with the head of the shovel until she's dead and prop her up on a chair. You then put the part of the shovel with the head on it into her hands and she should look like a dead angry gravekeeper.
Jack: I gave Meg the dead angry gravekeeper last night.
Gus: Shit you killed her. Dude I think your gonna have to leave the country.

Get the Dead angry gravekeeper mug.A queer person, often but not necessarily a gay cis man, who attempts to exclude other groups from the general umbrella of queerness.
"I don't see why the miscellaneous queers get to march with us now"
"Because this is a celebration of solidarity with fellow queers, not your private gatekeeper's party"
"They reckon if you don't publicly transition, you're not one of us. They're a total gatekeeper."
"and then she called herself some kind of queer identity thing I have never heard of. I don't mean to be a gatekeeper but I honestly wasn't believing it was a real thing until she explained it."
