You would have been forgiven for thinking that modern music has moved beyond genres and tribes, but Justin Bieber’s recent appearance on Ellen has left a certain group of fans absolutely livid.
What was his crime you ask? Well during his appearance on the show he wore a Metallica tshirt and this did NOT go down well with the notoriously loyal fans of the band. Apparently you can’t be a pop star and like heavy metal music at the same time. Who knew?
It looks like some Metallica fans are very particular about the kind of person they want repping the band.
Why is Justin Bieber wearing a Metallica shirt? He probably hasn’t even heard like 1 song. lmao pic.twitter.com/xEDjBMHqW2

Luckily for Justin, Metallica’s legendary singer Lars Ulrich has described the singer as “really talented”, so at least there’s that comfort.
