In this episode of Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom delve into the controversy surrounding their previous discussion about the band Sleep Token. The hosts recount their initial confusion about Sleep Token's meteoric rise in popularity, particularly on platforms like TikTok. They clarify that their past comments weren’t critical of the band’s music—since they hadn’t listened to it yet—but were simply expressions of curiosity about the sudden hype.

The discussion takes a humorous turn as they share an encounter with a particularly aggressive fan who accused them of gatekeeping. The fan’s hostile reactions, including demanding they listen to Sleep Token "properly," left both hosts amused and slightly frustrated. Tom highlights how such behavior ironically exemplifies gatekeeping by making newcomers feel unwelcome.
