Then oasis fans and present day razorlight fans, I dont know why

Cantankerous 09.17.2007 04:04 PM

oh this needs to be said

NIRVANA

Toilet & Bowels 09.17.2007 04:16 PM

the only gig i've ever been to where the crowd really pissed me off and it's stuck in my mind was a sunn o))) gig. and then there was one really annoying prick in the crowd when i saw kool keith, and then that prick from the wire who turned up to heckle haino, but he wasn't a fan. also the first time i saw low and i couldn't actually hear the music, despite being near the front, because of all the chatter, but again, i'd hardly call those people fans.

where do ravers fit?...people who live to go to raves, drop a ton of acid, then spend the weekdays trying to tell you how enlightning and out of this world it is.

basically, just like burnt out hippies.

Kreator themeselves are cool dudes.

new wave flaming lips and mercury rev fans who diss the early work as stupid noise!

singer songwriter fans who attempt to put value on the works of james blunt and jack johnson!

man united fans are annoying, sorry couldnt resist!

fans of that almost forgotten goth era, sisters of mercy, the cure, fileds of the nephlim, christian death (to a lesser extent)

oi! punks who wont listen to anything that isnt spikey or crap! exploited, nofx, etc etc

i dont mind emo kids because they seem to just want to be mothered and educated and fed!

sonic youth fans, be honest, are an anal bunch as well!!!!


the sisters of mercy rule you.

gmku 09.17.2007 10:29 PM

Come on, you guys, it is so wrong to generalize like this.

Nirvana rules, by the way.

Well, exactly. A fan of a band or someone who is really into music would most certainly not behave like such prats. Those idiots aren't fans, they are individuals who should be removed from gigs altogether.

AtEaseweb is well known for harvesting Radiohead fanboys/girls.

Everyneurotic 09.18.2007 10:29 AM

paul: yeah i get it, it's like people from abroad who love mexican bands (and cinema) that i hate, maybe they can appreciate it more since they are not bombarded with it and morons who are into it mostly everyday everywhere.

i'm seeing kreator at the end of the month!!!!

LittlePuppetBoy 09.18.2007 10:32 AM

classic rock fans. Chances are the only band they listen to NOT from the 60's or 70's is Nirvana

I kind of agree with this, in part. Especially for certain bands. Quiet bands. But then I like a natter with my pint. Not all live shows are a social thing, some of them are an art [coughs] thing. But I like music for the social thing, which is why I go to more jazz shows than anything else, because you can have a pint, a natter, dip in and out of the music and don't get anyone frowning.

Edit: Obviously, by jazz shows I mean people playing jazz in the corner of a pub rather than Ronnie 'I have no atmosphere' Scotts.

atsonicpark 09.18.2007 02:24 PM

i took 3 vicadin last night and made music.

and since i mentioned mindless self indulgence, i found out that their hot bass player married that my chemical romance fag last week. fitting.

there were a couple of groups of drunk teenagers just being annoying running around and shouting their conversations at each other, constantly pushing back and forth through the crowd so they could talk to each other. behaving like children basically. also there were these two guys at the bar who were really high and being annoying, and eventually they were made to leave.
anyway, that was the third time i saw sunn o))) and the other two times the crowd was fine.

king_buzzo 02.01.2008 01:22 PM

the cure.

and then those metalhead fans, you know the type, the ones that only know like 10 heavy metal bands and label themselves as metal; like you know, ac/dc, led zeppelin, black sabbath, pantera.....

those guys annoy the fuck out of me.

gmku 02.01.2008 01:32 PM

Hardcore Beatles fans are pretty annoying. The ones I've met don't understand why anybody would not love everything the Beatles ever did.

uhler 02.01.2008 01:35 PM

korn fans and other nu metal fans. all they do is wear baggy jncos (yes in my city they still wear jncos), huge xl korn shirts, horrible acne and they smoke tons of weed and meth. they also have bad teeth from all their meth smoking.

YES fucking hell. we've got like 2 in our school; they make me want to take a glue gun and glue their eyelids shut

batreleaser 02.01.2008 02:05 PM

the hardcore black metal fans, like the people who listen to noregian black metal and nothing else, and take everything those bands take 100 percent literally (viking lifestyles, burning churches), it takes away from the music and makes the music seem more like a novelty joke than than anything else, especially when many of those bands are groundbreaking.

3 vicodin? what kind, the 10 mg ones thats a decent amount, but the regular 5 mg ones woud give nothing more than a mild buzz and a loss of headache.

fucking hell yes, my neighbour is like that.

atsonicpark 02.01.2008 05:54 PM

10mg.

Damn, that was a while back.

Anyway, again: msi fans.

Death & the Maiden 02.01.2008 06:45 PM

People that listen to metal, and say that everything else is crap and not worth listening to.
People that say they are fans of "punk", but have never heard of the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, The Clash, or anyone that is punk.

ive never heard of anyone who said they 'liked' punk and has never heard sex pistols, the ramones, and the clash. ive never met anyone period who has not at least heard of one of those 3. but i have heard people who really do like punk rock, and fucking hate the sex pistols and their one boring alblum (like me).

There's plenty of people at my school who claim to like "punk" music, like Green Day, Blink 182, AFI, or any current band that has guitars, spiky hair and swearing in songs. I'll ask them about those 3 bands, but they won't have heard of them.

agreed. even though i do know people who like punk that don't like the ramones or clash. a lot of crust or crass punks don't like those two bands.

Cantankerous 02.01.2008 11:24 PM

fans of these new-fangled "indie" bands are extremely irritating. klaxons, yeah yeah yeahs, people who are only just now listening to radiohead because of in rainbows, etc.

gmku 02.01.2008 11:36 PM

Yes! College indie fans. What's their game? God, seriously, irritating. I'm generalizing when I say this, but it's the impression I get--they don't have any sense of background to any of this. They don't know the roots or appreciate anything that's come before.

I just started listening to Radiohead this past fall, by the way, but it was long before I'd become aware of In Rainbows. They were just a band I'd put off getting into. They're good.

uhler 02.01.2008 11:48 PM

99.2 percent of indie rock fans get on my nerves also.

Cantankerous 02.02.2008 12:04 AM

yeah whatsitcalled, the hipster children. i'm not partial to them.

From the sound of it, you know nothing of black metal, it's intentions, or history.

If anything, wouldn't burning a stave church to the ground make black metal dead serious about it's aims and give life to it's purpose? I'm guessing you've never met anybody who's burned a church or claims to be a viking... so why write a screed against them?

If you are listening to black metal for escapism or entertainment purposes, you're missing the point. Go back to your copy of EVOL and rub one out to "Tom Violence" next time you're about to spout off on a topic on which you're incredibly misinformed.

Everyone will benefit.

jakeonguitar 02.02.2008 01:52 AM

I think Insane Clown Posse fans are irritating.

Torn Curtain 02.02.2008 09:03 AM

Sonic Youth as their fans seem to believe they know better than anyone else :D

uhler 02.02.2008 11:42 AM

93.7 percent of black flag fans because they kick so much ass that it's hard to watch without being jealous.

DemonBox 02.03.2008 04:04 PM

Turbonegro fans(or Turbojugend as they call themself), just look at Bam Margera.
