What are you a fan of? :-*
-
_
-
All of them, especially the Ice Cream People. That's what I called ICP fans back in high school, and they got all butt-hurt about it, I was all "Why?!, member sticks and stones." I always make fun like that about things, but know what my limits are.

You're fucking hardcore.
-
The stupid ones.
-
Tool fans, even though I am one. :p
-
dream theater fans :lol
-
This is actually an insanely difficult question lol.
It's between the Nuge and Juggalos. I like Ted Nugent, but his fans are.... yeah. And juggalos are just stupid
-
Tool fans, even though I am one. :p
Oh man, I forgot this one, hang on, editting it in.
-
The only fans that have annoyed me are Slipknot fans. Had never even heard of ICP before the miracles meme and the other two fans have never annoyed me (although I have no idea who Ted Nugent is :mehlin).
-
Mine's the pseudo-eclectic music fan. Y'know, the one who has hundreds of albums and has heard of every band on the planet... but has no idea what he's talking about (or what you're talking about) when you mention a certain song on one of his CDs.
Tool fans are bad too, but in my experience most of the grow out of it.
-
I dont know any fans of any of the bands, so my vote is witheld.
-
I have to deal with an ICP fan every second period and I can safely say he is the stupidest dude I have ever had to interct with on a daily basis.
-
Why the hell are Tool fans up there? They're pretty harmless. Juggalos are by far the most annoying/baffling human beings in terms of music.
-
It doesn't matter what band really. It's more about the person and how they are about the band.

(although I have no idea who Ted Nugent is :mehlin).

I wanted to close the window as soon as I saw a guy with a cowboy hat standing in front of american flags.
-
None on the list have really ever troubled me. There's a different type of fan I totally hate with passion - pretentious, elitist snobs who only listen to jazz and classic progressive rock, and unable to tolerate ANYTHING else, but love to point out how everything else is crap (for some reason metal is usually #1 priority to flame, and whenever I've seen them do so, my brain was near exploding due to extreme overdose of ignorance), with absolute confidence that they're above everything else.
Unfortunately, Porcupine Tree has a fair share of those, the "burn everything released after Signify" group is made in like 95% of them.
-
The Tool fans you described, though they seem to grow out of it and become normal people.
-
No doubt, the Juggalos.
-
Tie between Juggalos/Maggots. My friend is a Maggot and my cousin is a Juggalo ::)
-
I said Maggots, but Juggalos are definitely up there. Linkin Park fans IMO are up there also.
-
Linkin Park fans only bother me when they also like anime, because that's how AMVs are born, and there is nothing - I repeat, nothing - more terrible on this planet Earth than AMVs.
-
I really don't like the Tool fans that think Adam Jones is a phenomenal guitarist and that Maynard is a genius. IMO they're both good-pretty good at what they do and it works damn well for their style but melodically they are about as samey as the White Stripes(not as in sounding like them but as far as being painfully stuck in one style/mood of composing melodies)

I can think of one example, what did you have in mind?
Also to the OP: Rush fans.

Also to the OP: Rush fans.
Basically that almost every song seems to be thoroughly dominated by that whole D-F-G thing since most-if not all-of their discography is in drop-D and they use the fuck out of the 3rd and 5th frets to the point of near exclusivity when it comes to rhythm guitar.

I'm not sure you have the right band. The White Stripes do not have a single song in drop D, all the songs are either in standard or open tunings (A and G) for slide playing.
-
I voted for myself (Tool fan). But I wouldn't say that Adam Jones was even a particularly good guitarist, I accept their music is limited. I still think Maynard is one of, if not the, best in the genre though.

Let's try reading my quote again...

Oh, in my first reply I was asking you what White Stripes songs sounded the same, not Tool. I could care less about Tool.
Anyway...
-

Anyway...
Don't know 'em by name but my singer has all but ruined them for me cuz most songs are always just riffs made of 2 or 3 major chords with little variation whatsoever. I can't recall them ever using a minor chord. I'd have to imagine they have at least once though.
-

Anyway...
I can't and the White Stripes but I do love the Racontuers. Go figure.
-
The ICP fans, because they are obviously from inferior stock and shouldn't be allowed to breed.
-
I voted Tool fans but I have a more intense hatred for the people who hate anything new regardless of what it is.

Cuz the Raconteurs are infinitely better. I still ain't running red lights to get to the record store over their shit but at least they try which is something I can't say at all for the Stripes. Jack White's White Stripes writing sessions must consist of a 4:1 ratio of smoking bowls-to-actually writing material and if that's true than that bums me out since I usually write better stuff when I'm stoned.

This.
-
While I FUCKING HATE maggots and Slipknot all together, Juggalos are by far the most annoying and impossible to communicate with.
-
My vote goes to Pseudo-intellectual Misanthropic Teenagers.
-
Why are Tool fans beating out JUGGALOS? Juggalos combine the worst aspects of every counter-culture in existence.
-
Why are Tool fans beating out JUGGALOS? Juggalos combine the worst aspects of every counter-culture in existence.
Because I don't encounter Juggalos on a daily basis.

If you did you'd be on one of those E! THS Mass Killers episodes.
-
I have yet to meet any of these but Maggots, and they were pretty fucking annoying,

Mine's the pseudo-eclectic music fan. Y'know, the one who has hundreds of albums and has heard of every band on the planet... but has no idea what he's talking about (or what you're talking about) when you mention a certain song on one of his CDs.
This, 1000x this. While some of those groups may be annoying - I really only encounter Republicans in my every day life so I can't speak about the others - at least they are passionate about what they like. The type of people Perpetual Change are just looking for acceptance and don't really care about music. Bandwagon jumpers are the worst because they have soul or personality - they are just a dry erase board being written on and erased constantly until all they are is just a bunch of faded jibberish that leaves a stain and won't come clean - permanently soiled due to their ignorance.

I think Jack does pretty well in the face of the limitations they put on themselves. If you gave them a fair listen you'd find that he's is more than capable of writing good material, and there is a ton of variation for a band that consists of 2 members/1 and a half musicians.
And of course they play minor chords, that's a silly thing to say. You silly sausage, you.

I used to hear them at least 20 minutes EVERY DAY. And as much as an hour-plus on others.
-
Yeah, I am shocked Tool fans are winning over juggalos.
dream theater fans :lol
Seriously, why isn't this an option? :lol
Not all of them, of course, but the kind that blindly love anything the band puts out and attack anyone who disagrees :\
-
Pseudo-intellectual Misanthropic Teenagers (Tool fans)
Once I read that one, it was a no-brainer.
-
Mine's the pseudo-eclectic music fan. Y'know, the one who has hundreds of albums and has heard of every band on the planet... but has no idea what he's talking about (or what you're talking about) when you mention a certain song on one of his CDs.

I might be pretty lucky since I don't know fans of any of the choices. But I agree with PC here in a way.
I hate those music 'fans' who say they listen to everything, but really mean they listen to anything that's on. The kind of people whose favorite artists include Nickelback, Lady Gaga, and Lil Wayne.
And then there's Lil Wayne fans.....
::)

Can't believe I overlooked PC's post. I have had this exact same pet peeve for years since I remember this dude who liked All Saints(Spice Girls knock-off c. 1998 that made the Spice Girls seem as good as DT), Tool, Third Eye Blind, every other band in existence but despite his "all-encompassing music savvy" couldn't tell which song was being sampled verfuckinbatim in the intro to an All Saints song even though it was from the ultra-popular Red Hot Chili Peppers' song "Under the Bridge"...the intro at that.
-
Tool fans. They're the only ones that have ever told me their taste in music is better than mine.
-
How about hipsters who believe that the only good music is the indie/underground bands no one has heard of, and if you have, the band has sold out? Fuck those people.
-
While I FUCKING HATE maggots
You hate me? :sadpanda:
-
Why are Tool fans beating out JUGGALOS? Juggalos combine the worst aspects of every counter-culture in existence.
Joggalos tend to keep to themselves. They are less intrusive than Tool... tools.
-
Nugent fans are not necessarily Republicans. I am as far from Republican as I can get, and I think Ted is due a certain amount of respect for being awesome. At least he was before he started listening to Limbaugh.
*Sweaty Teddy*
Damn! Pretty sure that's the exact same Byrdland he was playing 30 years ago. Nice.
-
The I know everything about music snobs (rate your music). Easily.

Since when? It's always been the other way around pretty much, well, everywhere.
-
And they fucking smell like Faygo all the time.

Probably. Have you ever worn a mask out in public while trying to look "hardcore"? This would constitute a kick to the teeth, good sir.
-

Have you ever tried the grape variety?
-
I'm going to count myself lucky that I've never encountered any of these fans...
-
And they fucking smell like Faygo all the time.
Have you ever tried the grape variety?
Nope :P
-
Maggots. Juggalos aren't nearly as widespread, and some seem like ok people besides their shitty taste and fashion. And the only Tool fans that are annoying are the ones who think they're on some entire other plane of existence because they 'get' the lyrics to parabola or whatever.
-
dream theater fans :lol

Every Slipknot fan does that.

Every Slipknot fan does that.
I'm pretty sure there is a fine line between maggots and Slipknot fans. I have a few friends who enjoy Slipknot and would call themselves fans, but would never dare be classified as a maggot.
-
Slipknot fans are called maggots.
-
I've always thought of maggots as the die-hard fans. But maybe that's just me.
-
I usually call them "Retards".
-
Add "Attack! Attack!" fans to that list. Or maybe the Owl City crowd.
-
Prog snobs and indie snobs are both awful. I haven't had any experience with the ones in the poll.
-
Why isn't "briang" an option?
-
I thought he was mentioned already. When I get home I'll find the quote.
EDIT: Here it is:

This isn't Briang? :neverusethis:
-
Add "Attack! Attack!" fans to that list.
So basically the entire scene/emo/hot topic crowd.
-
Or in the case of Owl City/Alex Goot/etc. fans, the teeny bopper scene.
-
Hardcore Nirvana fans are horrible as well.
-
My older brother's a hardcore Nirvana fan, and I can't say he's that annoying. He just hates on prog occasionally.
-
Hardcore Nirvana fans still exist?

Also, to be fair, my brother wouldn't really count as a Nirvana hardcore anymore, he doesn't still listen to them constantly or anything, cos what he's listening to is always changing. 3 or 4 years ago though, they were all he listened to. He has a buttload of bootlegs and every album on vinyl, etc.
-
Can we send them Lady Gaga and let them keep both?
-
I'll let them have Gaga, but I wouldn't mind Cobain.

I don't have enough zeros to add to the % on how right you are Count!

lol i joined
-
Yeah, so who's Briang?
He's a current user who's been around for a long time. Before the crash, there was a "Post your controversial opinions about music" thread, where someone said that (basically) Nirvana was overrrated and that Smells Like Teen Spirit sucked. It culminated with this epic rant by briang who posted the following:
It looks like my "second-hand knowledge" is better than your first-hand. I've already stated the facts, so there's nothing left to say except YOU ARE WRONG. I AM RIGHT. The song is objectively a classic, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
Much :lol ensued in that thread.
-
Oh Brian... I mean, it IS kind of a classic but that doesn't mean people have to like it.
-
The Daniel Goldenloaf fanboys are pretty annoying on this forum :P so are the KrotchRaut fans. Sheesh what a bunch of assholes.

Fans of your favourite band.

Opeth fans.
lolno

I voted for Juggalos: haven't had experiences with them personally, only on the internet. Out of the list, Black Metal fans. God they are annoying. If you listen to any band that has at least one musical video, you're a pussy. If you listen to prog, you're a pussy. If you listen to anything that is available on YouTube or can be found in a store or any band that 10 people or more know about, you're a pussy.

I'd detail it as "kvlt black metal fans" and put it as my #2, in fact. Tied with kvltists of other metal genres.

There are worse:
- true metal must have NO INNOVATION. If it doesn't sound like the '80s metal, it's gay and commercial.
- true metal can't sound modern. If it sounds modern, it's gay and commercial.
- true metal can't have songs above 4 minutes. If it does, it's gay, commercial, or Opeth.
- true metal can't have concept albums. If it's a concept album, it's pretentious. Pretentious things are gay and commercial.
- true metal must never have emo lyrics - that is, not about death, Vikings, death, battles, death, Satan, or death. Emo lyrics are gay and commercial.
- true metal can't have musicians capable of playing in something else than 4/4 and of above-average technicality. If it does, it's wankery, which is, quite obviously, gay and commercial. If it's Meshuggah or Dream Theater, BUUUUURRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN.
- true metal can NEVER SOUND ANYTHING CLOSE TO NU-METAL. If it's anything nu-metal, it's... yeah, you guessed it. (In case you don't know, according to one kvltist on Metal Archives, OSI "Blood" is nu-metal)
- true metal must be always metal from start to finish. If it has any calmer parts, it's... is it that predictable?
- true metal is only true if it doesn't progress. If a band's 20th album sounds just like the first one, they're really fvcking methul!!!!11
That'll do for starters. :D
-
Ugh
-
I think the worst one, the most indicative of our decaying social society, is our Ga Ga generation (for those who've seen We Will Rock You).
-
These fans:
"If you don't like death growls you need to grow some balls."
Yes, but even worse: "If you don't like death and black metal, you haven't 'matured' as a fan of metal".
All this comment shows is that the speaker is horrendously condescending, uptight and insecure about so greatly liking a genre that most people hate on, and which is, pretty much whatever way you look at it, wide open to ridicule.
But no, if you don't like death and black metal, you're an immature, inferior breed of metal fan.
- true metal can NEVER SOUND ANYTHING CLOSE TO NU-METAL. If it's anything nu-metal, it's... yeah, you guessed it. (In case you don't know, according to one kvltist on Metal Archives, OSI "Blood" is nu-metal)
I hate this as well. Not that I'm a big lover of nu-metal, but I think there are things the sub-genre did that metal overall could have benefited from, but since it's been put in a box and labelled shit by almost the entire metal fanbase, that's probably not gonna happen.
-
These fans:
"If you don't like death growls you need to grow some balls."
Most annoying, Fans that force what they like on others who don't like it. :P
-
The most annoying would be "singles" listeners.
-
Same here. That's what I meant when I mentioned the Ga Ga generation.
-

My school did a production of that with a live band.
I played guitar.
It was awesome

Yeah, this exactly. There are some things that are labeled as "nu-metal" (from what I've noticed, tuning is the most common reason for nu-metal accusations), which can sound really great if combined with the rest properly, but the retarded pseudo-purists can't understand it. There are plenty of bands who have a seriously non-traditional metal sound (like Katatonia, to which I've been addicted for over a month), and it sounds great if done right.

- If someone likes a nü-metal band or mainstream Hard Rock/Metal band you don't like, e.g. Avenged Sevenfold or Slipknot, you must not try to convince him politely that there are better bands and teach him what you know. Instead, you must be a dick with him and humiliate him, because your underground metal knowledge can't be shared with anyone. Why? Because if you share it, it becomes mainstream. And commercial. And gay.
- Prog sucks because it only consists of whiny gay men who sound like girls and songs that last forever and shred guitarists who only like to play musical wankery. That's sooo non-methul!
-
Tie between Tool fans and ICP fans, but to be honest, at least the Tool fans like a good band.
-
Tool, they are so damn annoying. They couldn't stop talking about how Maynard is the Jesus of music.
Also older DT fans (over 30) and younger fans (under 20). The older group is still stuck in the 80's and the younger group only listens to DT, thus DT being the best and only band in the world.
-
I've heard about the Maynard = Jesus thing but to be perfectly honest I have never met or heard anyone mention that before and I know quite a few Tool fans.

Hey! I'm a 16 year old DT fan, and I think they're a good/great band but I've lost the spark for them now.
You're free to insult us Tool fanboys though, that is all true.
-
Nugent fans.
-
Any fans that dress up like clowns or exaggerated Goths or any other clones. My brothers are Tool fans, and my older one does think that nothing is better than them, but other than that, I've never come in contact with any annoying fans.
Although I do remember in high school there was a kid that was a huge ICP fan, and I think the only thing he didn't do was paint his face. I remember those Powerpuff girls socks though. I guess his appearance was pretty annoying.
-
These fans:
"If you don't like death growls you need to grow some balls."
...but they do.
Exactly.
I went with maggots. I'm embarrassed that I used to be one. But, I've been saved for about 5 years now, and I've been living a happier life ever since. :)

I voted for Juggalos, but the most annoying are people who think that their musical tastes are better than all others, and always explain why in great detail while also trashing the taste of whoever they are talking to.

This, especially when the people are metal fans, because then they're not just elitists, they're idiots.
-
And potheads who listen to nothing but Bob Marley.
-
People that call everything "pointless technicality with no emotion or feeling" unless it has 3 chords, simple song structures, slightly shitty playing and a guy that cant sing very well

I didn't believe it either but I went to my first Tool show a few years back and I was surrounded by idiots "OMG MAyNARD HAS NO SHIRT ONHE IS THE ULTIMATE MUSICIAN!!!!"
I just put it away, well the next show I catch the next day, same fucking thing with different people.

There are worse:
- true metal must have NO INNOVATION. If it doesn't sound like the '80s metal, it's gay and commercial.
Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this? I just can't put my finger on it...

Ah. Yes. That.

- true metal can't sound modern. If it sounds modern, it's gay and commercial.
- true metal can't have songs above 4 minutes. If it does, it's gay, commercial, or Opeth.
- true metal can't have concept albums. If it's a concept album, it's pretentious. Pretentious things are gay and commercial.
- true metal must never have emo lyrics - that is, not about death, Vikings, death, battles, death, Satan, or death. Emo lyrics are gay and commercial.
- true metal can't have musicians capable of playing in something else than 4/4 and of above-average technicality. If it does, it's wankery, which is, quite obviously, gay and commercial. If it's Meshuggah or Dream Theater, BUUUUURRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN.
- true metal can NEVER SOUND ANYTHING CLOSE TO NU-METAL. If it's anything nu-metal, it's... yeah, you guessed it. (In case you don't know, according to one kvltist on Metal Archives, OSI "Blood" is nu-metal)
- true metal must be always metal from start to finish. If it has any calmer parts, it's... is it that predictable?
- true metal is only true if it doesn't progress. If a band's 20th album sounds just like the first one, they're really fvcking methul!!!!11

Yes, this is a good extension. :lol

Not sure about the "older" part, I've indeed seen some who prove this, and some who don't. As for "younger" - no way. I've seen such a huge variety of different <20 DT fans that any kind of generalisation here is really pointless.
