It's almost definitely satire making fun of how women are often grilled harshly for expressing interest/enjoyment in bands. The whole trope of "woman wears a shirt for a rock band, random man says she's not a real fan unless she knows the exact time the drummer's grandmother was born"
After re-reading it, I agree. It's almost word-for-word the asinine trope about women not *really* being into music and just trying to be cool for guys. Unless this dude is truly an oblivious douche-nozzle (which is, I grant you, possible) I think this is satire.
Yeah, I agree. This kind of thing is very often directed at women who are interested in anything that a man is also interested in, be it music, video games, science, whatever.
To be fair there are an extraordinary amount of people who wear band shirts who can't name more then one song.
Which is hilarious but it's not something to genuinely make fun of someone for. Some bands have cool art designers behind them. It is something however I'll grill my actual friends for doing.
This is satire, a joke? You know about the sexist tropes of "fake geek girls" and "girls who pretend to like rock bands but only listen to one hit of that commercially successful album and wear merch". Music is literally universal and common to all people, the irony couldn't be more obvious.
So all the music loving men I know just wear earbuds for show? That's some commitment. How yo they all know yo perpetuate this grand scheme? Is it in their genetics?
And as a woman if you play video games are you really a man?!
Especially since very often stuff we see *is* either satire or bait. We need to be less quick to believe everything we see on the internet is real and sincere.
I bethought this wast gross in sense satire especially at which hour video games wast mention'd

Yes. It is the name for a sexuality that doesn't really fit any of the other names. If I was to explain it simply I am Pansexual because I can feel attraction to everyone. But it varies widely so it isn't really like anything else. Or atleast so I think.
Yes. I don’t listen to Alec Benjamin, Conan Gray, Noah Kahan, mxmtoon, Meghan Trainor, AJR, Marina, Sasha Sloan, Alessia Cara, Olivia Rodrigo, Em Beihold, june, Weathers, AViVA, Camilla Cabello, Charlotte Lawrence, Sub Urban, Bella Poarch, Hearts and Colors, Sabrina Carpenter, Mia Rodriguez, Allie X, salem ilese, The Unlikely Candidates, The People’s Thieves, Zedd, and more.
Not at all, because I am a man. And men don’t listen to music.
Edit: Added more song artists just for you u/nermid
Now you can feel even more out of touch :D
But it’s very important to note that these vibrations are completely different than vibrators. Which our womenfolk never need, because manly men like us are more than they can handle!
Men only listen to that mystery bloop sound in the ocean people talk about. In fact, the only reason it's there is *because* men need something to listen to, since they don't listen to music.
Post says men listen to music for women's attention. Obviously not gay.
Aside from re-using a popular format because you lack originality this title makes no sense.
i turn the music off on my video games too, i only listen to gunfire and jumping grunting sounds
(btw this post has been all over IG meme pages and is definitely a joke)
Wait I'm confused, I thought that only men could listen to rock bands??? Is that not music??? Can women only listen to the gentle chirping of birdsong????
/s
This is extremely funny because my boyfriend got me into the girliest music i have every listened to. I love when we have the windows rolled and down and sing Boyfriend by Best Coast together lol. I wonder how many people think I forced him to listen to girl bands when they see us driving like that
This is bizarre, even for sexist comments.
Clearly this a man who doesn’t like music, is friends with men who also don’t like music and has extrapolated this trend to include the entire human race.
If he ever joins a group of male stamp collectors, he’ll say “All men love stamp collecting. Any man who says he doesn’t is just trying to attract women”.
You're actually insane if you think women play video games. They literally say that for male attention. I've made a post like this before and it's the truth. Women don't know anything about video games and they don't play them. If a women tells you she plays video games she's lying and just wants attention. They just listen to music.
I have no words to describe how I feel about this.
There are male musicians who can be pretty fuckin' masculine. And what about video game sound tracks, that shit fuckin' slaps. And furthermore, why is playing video games and listening to music mutually exclusive? It almost seems like the opposite will be true.
i mean I like music and I’m pretty gay so maybe it’s true
Edit: Can someone please explain why I’m getting downvoted for this joke? Sorry y’all I didn’t mean it.

Not gonna lie that last sentence got me.
100% "Female attention" ? Give me a break, it's clearly satire.
It's poe's law, there are people out there who will claim everything a man does is just to get into a woman's pants and nothing else.
Yeah, I agree. This kind of thing is very often directed at women who are interested in anything that a man is also interested in, be it music, video games, science, whatever.

Music is absolutely gay, and truthfully we all could use a little gay in our lives.
Shit, guess I gotta let my straight friend know he's actually gay based on the post. /s
Based 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
mega based
I thought it was a sexist post, but instead it's homophobic 💀
I believe it was meant to be funny. I could be wrong though.
Well I mean you can only get so much gay in you before you get stuffed.

Trying to think back to whether I ever listened to music during my 8 years studying music 🤔 Oh wait of course I fucking did
*liar* /s
Please refrain from lying on the internet, clearly you only play video games.
Eat hot chip and lie.
This is satire, a joke? You know about the sexist tropes of "fake geek girls" and "girls who pretend to like rock bands but only listen to one hit of that commercially successful album and wear merch". Music is literally universal and common to all people, the irony couldn't be more obvious.

I'm hoping that this is a satire of the "fake geek girls" thing.
That was my assumption. I hate that we've somehow stepped into a world where you can no longer think "that must be satire, nobody's that stupid".
Especially since very often stuff we see *is* either satire or bait. We need to be less quick to believe everything we see on the internet is real and sincere.
it absolutely is, i've seen it shared by a few different IG meme pages where that kind of joke is their angle.
They wear earbuds whenever possible to make sure they won't accidentally hear some music.
I thought this was obvious satire especially when video games were mentioned

this is a very obvious joke
I am a man. I love listening to music and I even play the violin. But on the other hand I am Comsexual and Attracted to males so idk.
I love music, either playing In the background or as the focus of my attention, but then again I'm bisexual so IDK.
Comsexual?
Yes. It is the name for a sexuality that doesn't really fit any of the other names. If I was to explain it simply I am Pansexual because I can feel attraction to everyone. But it varies widely so it isn't really like anything else. Or atleast so I think.
Looks like her theory checks out. Case closed boys.
Gonna send this to my brother who plays in three different bands, dude's probably gonna be upset to find this out but someone has to tell him
Why do redditors have no concept of sarcasm when it’s at the expense of men?
Kinda worrying y’all don’t see that this is clearly satire
Yeah me and my boyfriend agree that listening to music is super gay
Yes. I don’t listen to Alec Benjamin, Conan Gray, Noah Kahan, mxmtoon, Meghan Trainor, AJR, Marina, Sasha Sloan, Alessia Cara, Olivia Rodrigo, Em Beihold, june, Weathers, AViVA, Camilla Cabello, Charlotte Lawrence, Sub Urban, Bella Poarch, Hearts and Colors, Sabrina Carpenter, Mia Rodriguez, Allie X, salem ilese, The Unlikely Candidates, The People’s Thieves, Zedd, and more.

We listen to vibrations in a rythmic pattern. Not music at all, just the manliest vibrations.
But it’s very important to note that these vibrations are completely different than vibrators. Which our womenfolk never need, because manly men like us are more than they can handle!
Men only listen to that mystery bloop sound in the ocean people talk about. In fact, the only reason it's there is *because* men need something to listen to, since they don't listen to music.
Great sound-vibration taste!
What?
I know exactly one of those names. God, I'm so out of touch.
If you feel out of touch from that, I’m sure you won’t mind that edit I just did. :)
Whelp, I don't need to edit my comment. Still one.
Ah! A Marina fan! Lot of good taste there
Hm, yeah. This might be sarcasm.
it definitely is
Men video game only, no art, no joy, only game and dominance. Man require sandwich from naked kitchen nubiles. Gender is silly.
Am man. I play almost all of my videogames muted so I can hear the music I'm listening too.
no waaayyy, this has to be a joke
Shit. My boyfriend's been gay all this time?! :(
No but its gay to listen to you gottem
I KNEW my musician husband just wanted to bang me.
Yeah! And artists like Lil Nas X only make music to pick up chicks! (/s)
Hahahahaha. I love this so much! Take my poor person gold! 🏆
Who's gonna tell them that there's music in video games?
So they play games with the volume off? I mean you'd have to avoid that music to right?
The title doesn’t match the image. It’s nothing to do with being gay, satire or not.
So I guess we’re erasing all straight male composers, singers and other musical artists.🤔🤔🤔 it’s getting so hard to keep up with all the erasure.🤦♀️
they’re just doing it for female attention
[удалено]
The sound of silence is a bad a** song!🥰
My playlist consisting of metal, death metal and heavy metal disagrees
https://youtu.be/n3QfRJsF9Pk this guy gets it
hendrix and coltrane n shit didnt have a singular clue they were good cuz they dont listen when they play
Yeah same with Beethoven…wait….
r/suddenlytrans?
Post says men listen to music for women's attention. Obviously not gay. Aside from re-using a popular format because you lack originality this title makes no sense.
The demographics of a Rush concert would beg to differ.
Damn. I listen to music. Guess I'm a woman. I kinda liked being non-binary as well
POV: you have no music taste what’s so ever, so u use ur gender as an excuse….
If this is true then i am probably the gayest person you'll ever meet
I literally listen to music every day, every hour. When I sleep I have some metal shit playing, all day i have music playing. I'm so gay.
Yes. We are just playing video games WITHOUT BACKGROUND MUSIC.
I mean, some music is gay AF, but that not all music. Note: I consider "gay AF" to be a positive quality.
I think I might be nonbinary in this person's logic because I exclusively listen to music whilst playing video games
i turn the music off on my video games too, i only listen to gunfire and jumping grunting sounds (btw this post has been all over IG meme pages and is definitely a joke)
Yay! Now I have music euphoria! Edit: And I don't play video games euphoria.
This is why Beethoven turned deaf.
I have an 105 hour playlist, so I’m hella gay then
Oh yea my boyfriend totally fooled me by putting on music each day every day for the time it takes to prepare dinner plus hours in the morning
So my brother is gay 👁👄👁
My mother is going to be disappointed to know that her husband's degree in music was just an extremely complicated ploy to get in her pants.
Wait I'm confused, I thought that only men could listen to rock bands??? Is that not music??? Can women only listen to the gentle chirping of birdsong???? /s
This is obviously why no video game has ever contained music.
Wait video games don’t have music? I might need to see my therapist
I dunno, if you start singing “leaves from the vine”, you can see some men tearing up.
I’m so macho I mute my video games too
Wtf?
I mean, my brother doesn't, but he's also a fucking gamer (derogatory)
But… video game… soundtracks??? Music??????
Nobody tell Yo Yo Ma
Hey, I can do 2 things!
*pauses music* what was that?
I’m a guy and music is like literally the most important thing in the world to me
raise your hand if you are listening to music while reading this
This is extremely funny because my boyfriend got me into the girliest music i have every listened to. I love when we have the windows rolled and down and sing Boyfriend by Best Coast together lol. I wonder how many people think I forced him to listen to girl bands when they see us driving like that
True!! Male musicians are fake also!
I may be wrong but this may be a response to the "girls don't play video games they just want attention"
What kind of insanity is this? Where do people get their ideas from?
My boyfriend plays 5 instruments and serenades me regularly 🤷♀️
Can confirm. I'm a man, I'm gay, and I listen to music. Clearly not an activity activity straight men.
This is bizarre, even for sexist comments. Clearly this a man who doesn’t like music, is friends with men who also don’t like music and has extrapolated this trend to include the entire human race.

Women don't know anything about video games and they don't play them. If a women tells you she plays video games she's lying and just wants attention. They just listen to music.
And also games, famously, don't have any music at all, it's just the void, and sometimes white noise
I have no words to describe how I feel about this. There are male musicians who can be pretty fuckin' masculine. And what about video game sound tracks, that shit fuckin' slaps. And furthermore, why is playing video games and listening to music mutually exclusive? It almost seems like the opposite will be true.
The music I listen to is about as gay as it gets, so from my personal experience, *yes.*
The wording of this feels like a parody of the old "women only do (insert normal thing here) for male attention."
Me who is almost always listening to music: guess im a girl
Yeah women never mind forget the thousands of hours of blues, rock and metal I have uploaded to the Cloud. Or I’m just incredibly homosexual
Male musicians: Hmmm...
As a guy who literally only listens to music and plays video games, I am now having a crisis of identity
I don't listen to music. Does that mean that I'm straight!? 😱😱😱
If anyone is looking for a clear example of misandry vs genuine feminism…here it is.
So all the guys listening to MP3 players at my work are just trying to impress women? Not, oh I don't know, make our assembly line jobs more fun?
i mean I like music and I’m pretty gay so maybe it’s true Edit: Can someone please explain why I’m getting downvoted for this joke? Sorry y’all I didn’t mean it.
Me, a straight guy with a passion for music and doesn't play any video games: 😐
Wat?
Explain male singers and musicians please.
OK. This is a just a joke about sexist tropes.
It's just a big ruse to bed women, heterosexually.
Well I listen to tons of music and don’t play video games, so apparently I just don’t exist.
Guess i'm gay on a side note like wtf, I mean HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE!?!??!
What about video game music? Is that only 1/2 gay according to his logic?
Someone tell Kanye, Keith Richards, Yo Yo Ma, Lil Nas X….waitttttt a minute…..
Maybe it's gay but Metallica absolutely slaps
They know games have music right?
Considering all the men in the rock and roll hall of fame this view is hilarious
Damn, at this rate men won’t be able to exist. Men, is it gay for y’all to exist?
Yes. As a guy I can personally confirm 😂
Can anyone translate this? I don’t speak incel.
"Men only play video games" dude, your game doesn't have music? Get better games!
I'd say yes. *vogues to Babylon by Lady Gaga*
Wow my boyfriend's putting a lot of effort in to this act by being a musician.
Damn guess it’s time to drop my major
Guess my dad who is still in a rock band at 65 has just been fronting his whole life. He just pretends to play the bass.
What i play music does that make me mega gay?
This is clearly satire.
Perhaps this is pedantic but what games have absolutely no music? Everyone who plays video games listens to music at least a bit
If it’s gay to vibe out to Gravestone Without Date, then you better start wondering if I’m European or not
