When someone is an asshole enough to tell you that you don't have enough qualities to like what you want to like or be what you want to be, solely based on their opinions and experiences, even if they don't know as much about what said person aspires to like / be.
Person 1: I really like (insert band/artist here)
Person 2: Ok name every song, even the unreleased ones, how many words are in each song, and recite them word for word.
Person 1: um..
Person Two: FAKE FAN. You don't like them.
If you didn't pick up on this, Person 2 is a Gatekeeper

Get the gatekeeper mug.
The fat,ugly, or fat and ugly girl that attaches herself to a good looking girl. The soul existance of a gatekeeper is to keep the pretty girl from ever meeting someone. If the gatekeeper is beaten by a man know as the chosen one or a man with a wingman the gatekeeper will no longer have any reason to exist and becomes a fallen gatekeeper.
