Seemed mostly like "What's your favorite song by them?" getting exaggerated, for the most part. I'm not saying gatekeeping never happens, I just wouldn't expect it to be anywhere near as common as sincere attempts to strike up conversation with a fellow fan.

I think how common it is depends on your gender. It's less common now that the gatekeeping assholes are shamed for it, but still.
