Memes. For metal music.
Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.

There was a brief era in the 2000's where bands from pop-punk to metal-core released super bright coloured shirts (like fluro-bright) with over the top cartoon artwork, it was a nice change.
Also you can get pink metal shorts/jumpers that go pretty hard (i have only seen these worn by men though)
That must’ve been quite a shock for the average metalhead, fluorescent shirts :D
As a guy who loves bright rainbow shit, I certainly would be the weirdo opting for pink over black.
Funny enough the colleague I mentioned supposedly has a fully pastel pink decorated house. Metal on the outside, Barbie on the inside! I sure do love the dichotomy.
For reference, they looked like this:
(Although these pictures dont do the colours justice, some looked straight up radioactive neon like they woukd glow in the dark)
Mid 2000s mallcore. Hated it then, am nostalgic for it now. Definitely guilty pleasure music haha
Nice, dinosaur comics reference
Those are awesome! Definitely would’ve worn a few of those back in the day.
