A person that uses certain genres of music in a tokenism sorta way and to look cool rather than actually liking the genre of music. typically this sorta thing happens with metal music. Bands that fall under the Genre Tourist label are: Blood Incantation, Nails, Skinless, Cannibal Corpse, Sanguisugabogg, Bloodbath, etc. keep in mind there's nothing particularly wrong with listening to these bands, but some people choose to listen to them to seem cool.
a very notorious genre tourist is Anthony Fantano.
