Ardent ‘Stranger Things’ fans, especially the young bracket, have recently been trying to cancel the iconic rock metal band ‘Metallica’ on TikTok over alleged racist behavior. For the unversed, Metallica has gained a new global bunch of fans in recent months, thanks to the resurgence of their 1986 hit track titled ‘Master Of Puppets’ after its inclusion in Season 4 of ‘Stranger Things.’ Things were looking great, but as of last week, some of their newly-gained fanbase has begun changing their tune.

While the show has become the Netflix’s most loved and commercially successful series this year, currently a bunch of young fans are on a mission to cancel the iconic '80s musical icons. Well-known TikToker Serena Trueblood's video post from last weekend on Tiktok which has got almost 39.5K likes showed her talking about Metallica’s previous bassist, Jason Newsted, who was seen performing a Nazi salute and march on stage. There are glimpses of other band members as well, in which they appear to share jokes with a crowd about the then-recent passing of Kurt Cobain.
