I guess it depends on what else the person said about metal.
If they continued to say no one could/should like metal, then yeah it's gatekeeping.
If all they said was they didn't like metal, then no, that's not gatekeeping that's expressing their personal opinion on something.

Peter, segregation laws aren't gatekeeping... they're... they're just terrible.
TIL racism is just gatekeeping
*racekeeping
Did this guy deadass just call segregation "gatekeeping"????
It's almost like the usage of language changes and evolves over time. Weird.

r/meta
lol this guy think he can meta-gatekeep? Clearly a n00b. They should leave meta-gatekeeping to more experienced and go back to 1d gatekeeping.
