Yeah, this wasn't just born out of fans, scenes themselves had it. Look at Norway and the Black Metal scene, and the competition (sometimes violent) between the Black Metal crowd and the Death Metal crowd. Was pretty much considered poseur to like Death Metal in that scene. Even bands like Darkthrone would be treated as poseurs cause they started out as a Death Metal band.
It is silly, but it has been a factor in metal for a very long time.
