Because it reeks of sexism. The premise is that the person could be a poser (not knowing Megadeth songs), and this is applied mostly to women, especially when it’s based on just wearing a t-shirt : a dude with a metal shirt leads to “cool, a fellow metalhead”, a women with a metal shirt leads to “uh, is she a poser ?”.
The conclusion of being extra-fair about confusing two major bands, just after being overly picky, also implies that you have a good reason to change your mindset, and this stinks of sexist implications too.
Metalhead girls get this question way too often. If it one day crosses your mind to ask it, please at least rephrase it so it’s not accusatory. Just ask about their musical tastes or if they saw them live, like you would do with any one but not this fucking “name one song”.
If the joke is being horny, it implies that they treat the person as a women rather than a metalhead. In a context of metal bands, this is sexism. So it can be both horny and sexist.
I never worry about the votes. Lots of people will see a woman being hot as the main draw and automatically say its sexist I hate it. As if you can’t take a shitty thing and make it silly/funny/stupid.
Looking at votes its funny how controversial this tame meme is.
Why do people dislike it?
Mustaine-Metallica bad blood (still??), or the meme implying metalheads aren’t picky? or that people have girlfriends? I’m outta ideas.

Good
Its the high school level misogyny of ‘women cant be fans’ and its an overused ‘joke’
Racist
Oh I can think of so many reasons to downvote this!
The whole “name 3 songs” thing is sexist, it’s usually said to women in band shirts. It’s boring and old.
It’s had a shit filter applied to her face. I see the exact same face everywhere. She looks like a Barbie doll.
Why metal guys? Are they more shallow than the general population? I didn’t know that was a stereotype and I’ve been to my share of metal festivals.
But that’s nothing compared to the fact it’s not very funny. It’s Facebook tier humour. Haha men are blind when boobies are involved.
Thanks babe 😘 why don’t you contribute some god tier memes
Hah sorry bud, I didn’t actually downvote it and I’m sure I couldn’t do better. Just offering an explanation to the lost soul above
Much love
Im going to guess because boobs.
the meme is implying women can’t be real fans.
Is it though? Or is it more implying that these metal fans are horny?

tell me, looking at the picture, why would the author assume the person pictured wouldn’t know a song from megadeath?
Because she says enter sandman
the meme says that, AFTER they asked. why would they demand she name a song in the first place? what about her made them think she couldn’t?
If she was a real Megadeth fan she’d have hair like this
Better way to setup the joke would be to ask, “What’s your favorite Megadeath song?”
I don’t believe in women as a concept
