Decades of wearing band t-shirts and not even once that happened to me (even at a concert). Men don't ask that kind of questions to each other, which means it's only used to antagonise women.

It's the adult version of hitting a girl in the shoulder at the playground and then running away.

The real irony is that if you change the question just a bit, it can be used for flirting:

Oh, you like that band? Cool, which songs do you like? You don't know any? Girl, let me tell you, they're awesome! What's your name?

Honestly, it being a way for this type of man to condescend and control is more likely, IMO.

I've had a similar exchange happen twice. The first, I was asked to name songs from the band's earlier albums (i.e. songs that hadn't been played at the gig). The other time, it wasn't asked as a question, but like "I bet you couldn't even name [arbitrary number] of their songs".

It definitely happens, and besides those specific instances, I've had countless gatekeepy comments that allude to me only [wearing band t-shirt/having video game pins/patches on my bag/being at a gig] to pick up guys because obviously I'm a massively slutty succubus who only haa hobbies to help me find prey.

Unfortunately I've watched my guy friend do this to his gf and then followed it up by shutting her down when she didn't answer immediately.
