 Since social media can make cult followings overnight, the fear that you may no longer have access to any of your favorites is very real. So when your favorite skincare goes viral or your go-to ingredient gets exposed or your number one artist starts trending, panic sets in and your inner gatekeeper comes out. But it's not unwarranted. Gatekeeping is actually just human nature. Not only can it provide a sense of community, one study found that the desire to own or be part of something is actually just what humans do. And believing that you have control over it can be essential to a person's well-being. So it's okay to share the music you like, but it's also okay for corn fans to not want it to be classified as girly pop.
