In perhaps the lulziest moment of 'pop artists trying to be edgy', Chris Brown has been spotted wearing a leather jacket bearing patches from bands as heavy as Municipal Waste and Suicidal Tendencies at a show earlier this week.
As metalheads are wont to do, the community went into a state of uproar at this 'blasphemy' and a barrage of hate was levied at the R&B artist. Today marks the climax of this silliness as Brown's...estranged...ex Rihanna is featured on the back of her album wearing a similar coat. Municipal Waste have remained surprisingly cool with the situation, tweeting "For the record. Chris Brown can sport our shit all he wants. We still think he is a fucking moron."
It's times like these that the elitism of the metalhead community shines through - when fans have the inability to laugh at the overproduced idiots trying to look cool and instead turn this into a perceived 'war on metal' or a mockery when, really, it's obvious it was just an aesthetic move on the artists' part.
