In the pre-Internet early 90s, CDs were $15-25 (with inflation, about $40 now)…. And for a lot of music, you had no way of hearing it first. Shoplifting was popular.
With a new band you never know. It could be a low, murky graaar like Immolation or Bolt Thrower… or a higher pitch like most Entombed (I prefer Clandestine where some bassist from another band sang, but most people don’t, for some reason). Or it could be like Deicide where the singer is mainly good then they cheapen it with this cheesy high pitched thing…. Carcass where the singer is h medium pitched and sounds good, then they also have a low guttural voice thrown in here and there, which was alright. Or maybe all is well and it’s the perfect Morbid Angel vocals.
There were so many shitty albums I bought for $16 in the early 90s (even worse, that's like $30 now) and had the exact experience in the meme. Things like we loved the first Suicidal Tendencies album, bought the second and were 'wtf is this?' The only way we had to pick out death metal was based on the cover art and record label... put it in the CD player, okay, good guitar sound... just have to wait until the guy sings.... that pretty much decided it.
Racism means being negatively prejudiced or bigoted against people of various races and ethnicities.
It can be an individual thing, but is also used often to mean institutional racism, as in a society that is constructed or functions in a way to disadvantage people of particular races compared to others.
Coming from the US, I had no idea until I became friends with an Australian, but some people in AU and the UK really hate people with red hair and call them 'gingers'. I suppose it's some anti-Irish thing.
It can be light hearted, or not. As you note some people do take it a bit seriously. The wiki article addressing the history and present nature of anti-ginger discrimination has some interesting examples.
