Which band has the most irritating fans.
 

Grateful Dead are an obvious example, as are The Doors, but there has to be more...MORE!

Babyshambles. Their fans seem to think that junkie idiot is a poet and a hero, and that's profoundly irritating.

Most fans of Post-Hardcore outfits really bug me, their sheer musical closemindedness and wilful ignorance.

Oh and Oasis fans

Manic Street Preachers fans kind of spring to mind. A big faction of The Smiths's fans I find irritating too.

my housemate works in the bookshop that help the launch for pete doherty's book, he told me some funny/weird stuff about the fans who turned up for that.

such as?

Paul Weller fans - the legion of psuedo-mockney geezers and geezerettes who think their hero makes proper tunes, and he's a proper stand-up bloke.

Does anyone remember the humorous page that they used to have on the Melody Maker where there was a section dedicated to an imaginary girl who was a hardcore Manic Stree Preachers fan writing on her daily diary? That was the funniest thing.

melly is, of course, quite right with that one.

i've always imagined Dr John fans to be entirely dull.

the one that first popped to minds is Steve Albini fans, which is weird but it's due to a fact the more extreme fans of his are some of the biggest pricks i have ever seen and can quote his ethos to the letter, that and the inflated superiority complex involved

Any fans who think that their idol is speaking directly to them about their life. The two mentioned by Porky are good examples.

pardon my ignorance, but can you name me some post-hardcore acts? i wanna know what you speak of!

oasis fans
babyshambles fans
arctic monkeys fans
The Gossip fans

basically general fans of this whole fake "indie" scene in the uk at the moment.


HEY!! my parents are hard core grateful dead fans.

...Belle and Sebastian fans?

Where?

yeah.
b&s's fans
evanescence fans
green day's fans

mars volta's fans.

I was never aware of Mars Volta having such a big and vociferous amount of fans as to turn them into an irritating bunch, and I'm not even being sarcastic.

The majority of young grunge- era bands/Nirvana fans suck too.

tool fans
magik markers fans

Noone mentioned the middle/upper class people lacking any music taste and just desiring to relate themselves to anything band-like, so they chose to be U2 fans, yet?
