Dee Snider knows a thing or two about metal fashion.

But it seems the overabundance of celebrities wearing metal t-shirts has gotten to the Twisted Sister frontman. Kanye West, are notorious for wearing metal shirts out in public. We’ve seen Metallica shirts worn by Gigi Hadad, Michael Jackson’s daughter, Justin Bieber, and Kim Kardashian.

But celebrity stylists getting their clients to wear vintage metal shirts is one thing. Big time fashion brands have begun taking notice and blatantly ripping off metal logos in some cases. It feels like H&M released a line of metal logo t-shirts, Diesel sold this overpriced leather jacket with fake metal patches on it, Urban Outfitters sold overpriced band t-shirts too, and I have no idea what Gucci was thinking with this AC/DC design. Now, you have big brands like Supreme teaming up with Black Sabbath and Slayer for limited lines. Dee Snider is not having it any more. Take a look at what he tweeted today:

Gotta say, this new trend of non-metal fans wearing vintage metal T’s if pretty sickening. Metal is not ironic! D*cks.

It’s not just the wearing of our metal T’s, it’s their cherry picking of our style #skulls #metalhorns These are OUR symbols; OUR image.

While we can understand Dee’s frustration, ultimately, we think any form of gatekeeping is a waste of time. Heavy metal is for everybody. I can’t tell you how many stories I’ve heard about longtime Maiden fans saying the way they got into the band was browsing the record store and finding one of their albums with their amazing cover art and having to buy it. Well, guess what? Record stores are few and far between. But if a kid sees a cool Iron Maiden shirt and decides to actually put on “Number of the Beast,” then it’s a victory for all of us, as it keeps heavy metal alive.
