Band Fanbases

Bands /artists that I hate more because their fanbases are complete tools:

Muse
Avenged Sevenfold
Slipknot
Trivium
Dragonforce
Zakk Wylde
Cradle of Filth
Dream Theater

I could continue, but I think this translates the point well enough. I don't even necessarily hate the bands in every instance outright. The fans make some of these bands intolerable. "OH MAN HERMAN LI IS THE BEST DID YOU SEE HOW FAST HE PLAYS?" Dragonforce is fucking awful and so is your face. Slipknot calls their fans "maggots", even they know how stupid you have to be to like Slipknot. Slipknot knew they were so bad that they killed off their own bassist. That's the story I heard anyway.

Muse is more over-appreciated garbage. They had okay early stuff, and then gained popularity. Ever since then, any semblance they had of any song writing talent apparently went down the toilet. Matt Bellamy is unbearable and so are his kiss-ass fans. They're so far in his junk that you can taste Bellamy-taint on their breath. It's sickening.

Ever insult Dream Theater to a Dream Theater fan? Good luck with your 9 paragraph rant and link assault for the next hour. They will shove Dream Theater's technical prowess down your throat until they die. You know a Dream Theater fan starts getting desperate when they're defending the lyrics to "The Count of Tuscany."

  1. While I do like a couple of those, I know where you're coming from.
    I hate a lot of music for a lot of reasons, douchebag fans being one of them.

  2. I know exactly what you mean, I loved Muse's older stuff, but when the newer albums came out and guys in my school started bumming them so hard I could visibly see the erections each time a Muse song came on...it's pathetic
    and dragonforce is basically a guitarist on speed accompanied by the song writing talent of a 3 year old deaf kid.

  3. I love your description of Dream Theater fans. I personally love them, but I don't think I've ever been that bad about defending them.

  7. I agree, there are some fanbases that are just SO obnoxious, even if I love the band's music.

  8. I personally don't ever associate for fans of bands for that reason. So I never really gain the hatred for the band itself via its fanbase.
    Though it is kind of hard to look past the douchebaggery and appreciate the music..
