Metal fans have actually created their own language
WE BUTTER THE BREAD WITH BUTTER
I love them
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

This, but unironically. When seeing some illegible logo, even if you cannot read the text and/or don't know the band, you can probably tell the genre of metal their playing just by the design.
This is a real poster?!
Not even very surprising. The dark and/or broody scenes tend to be a lot less serious than they look. To give an example I saw: At last year's Wave Gotik Treffen (a huge goth event) there were plenty of posters for broody bands – and in between them there was one for the German Hevisaurus spinoff advertising their new song about bubblegum.
And then someone went around and put googly eyes on all the posters. That's also pretty on-brand for the scene.
You mean OP's picture? Yes, of course. Apparently it took place in Oakland in 2015! https://www.thecirclepit.com/2015/05/bay-area-deathfest-2
Gatekeeping, in a form of "If you know you know"; but also it becomes a fun guessing game in fest when checking people shirts!
