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”.
