Completely off topic, but you've hit the nail on the head.

 

This band! The beady eyes of Texas are upon you.

Sports fans in general are infinitely more annoying than fans of any musical subgenre. And there are also a shit ton more of them.

I apologize for being irritating.

However, you've got it pretty bad up there with the Vikings fans and all. I can understand where the animosity to sports fans comes from.

Savage Clone 09.13.2007 03:37 PM

You have no idea.
Being downtown during a Vikings/Packers game brings out the misanthropic tendencies like few other experiences can.

Пятхъдесят Шест 09.13.2007 03:46 PM

Bears, Packers, and Vikings fans (the drunk fat ones) are probably the closest thing to hooliganism in America.

The University of Colorado football fans are maybe the best example of horrible sports fans. Folsom Field in Boulder is notorious for battery throwing and spitting. I can speak from experience. Funny to think that the most dangerous situation (or so it felt at the time) I've been in was at a Nebraska/Colorado football game in Boulder.

CHOUT 09.13.2007 03:47 PM

Sonic Youth's fans. Fuck you all.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 09.13.2007 03:48 PM

The Misfits, The Subhumans, Minor Threat, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, The Adolescents, Agent Orange, and any of that Job For a Cowboy type stuff.

You could always tell the real Velvet Underground fans, the truly intelligent ones, from these little fakes who used them as a crutch and social emblem because the real ones also liked The Doors, The Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen, The Stooges, MC5, The Who--you know, all the classic acts who were "too butch and hetero" for the snooty, precious Velvet 'fans'. The only major act from the '80s/early '90s that they dug (or at least pretended to dig) was Morrisey--with or without The Smiths. They could emulate his most annoyingly eccentric and whiney ways quite adeptly, as well. The saddest thing about it is the fact that both The Velvet Underground and The Smiths made some great records, but for me--like a lot of people I meet in my age category--the virtues of the music have been substantially eclipsed by memories of those conceited, close-minded little cliques who based their social status on their identification with the bands in question.

Then there are those awfully annoying AC/DC fans, who seem to have never listened to--or even heard of--anything but those rowdy boys from Down Under. Throw in those gen-X Alice Cooper and Kiss fans who never started listening until they were in their mid to late teens in the mid '80s (about 5 to 7 years after the rest of us had stopped paying attention), and you have what's pretty much my pettest of peeves when it comes to rock fans.

"It's not the bands I hate / It's the fans..."

hear hear!

Rob Instigator 09.13.2007 03:51 PM

see, I love sports. sports, art, music, science, are the only human endeavors where you can glimpse something that has never been experienced before.
I love that.

however, I also hate the typical sports idiot, who thinks his cock is meausred by the amount of fervor he worships his personal sports heroes with.

CHOUT 09.13.2007 03:57 PM

I accept my sport-loving fans, I just have to ask to turn their games down sometimes. Just something about being harassed by the jocks when I was young has ruined sports for me forever.

Savage Clone 09.13.2007 03:59 PM

"Some of my best friends are sports fans."

CHOUT 09.13.2007 04:02 PM

But, back to the subject...the most irritating fans IMO have to be Insane Clown Possee's fans...this mofo juggalo stole nearly 100 of my friend's cds.

am i a fan, yeah sure but they and alot of bands of their kind a number of their recordings are not worth getting for sound quality purposes mostly.

i "dislike" those music fans who criticize other music fans because they think the "music" they listen to is shit, all the whiners and complainers of the world need to find a tiolet and shove their head into until they drown.

Savage Clone 09.13.2007 04:07 PM

How about the fans that you see at all the same shows that you go to, who are into all the same weirdo/obscure stuff you like, but never seem to have anything good to say about the show, the venue, the band that they made the effort to come down and see and is playing RIGHT NOW?

That type of music fan is one I could do without, because sometimes they actively bum out my good times.

Rob Instigator 09.13.2007 04:08 PM

cantank that shit's so played like edie sedgwick fascinations! ha ha!

I did not know that Insane Clown Posse was still around.

As a long-time Instant Composers Pool fan, I resent this.

The band does look kinda stupid though, don't they? Can't even manage to hold their heads up straight.

Some of them are die hard nazis some are totally ok......

ZEROpumpkins 09.14.2007 04:03 AM

Die hard Smashing Pumpkins fans. Emo fans. Modern rap fans.

Everyneurotic 09.14.2007 09:59 AM

i agree with dream theater.

and yes, a lot of sonic youth "fans" are awful, the ones who buy their albums and go to their shows because of the nirvana connection (and probably don't know sy are still around) or the hipster kids who just like them because it's cool to like them ("thurston moore is so cool! they play cool rock! they are the coolest rock band ever" "why do you say they are cool?" "because they are KEWL man!!!")

yeah, people who go to shows to bitch ("yahh they were good but, the lightning was all wrong, the bass was mixed three dbs lower than it should be and this beer sucks, besides, i know the promoter and he made me PAY to see the show, i mean, i was going to spend those $300 bucks on booze, now i just could drink $4700 worth of drinks, this sucks!") are awful, people who go to shows just to show off the way they are dressed are also shite.

omar rodriguez got technical, i saw the mars volta on the comatorium tour and in between every song he played scales super fast and shit. technical doesn't mean good anyway.

slayer, pantera fans, a lot of shitheads are into them yeah, but most people i encounter in these kind of shows are really cool and friendly. kreator fans...i was kinda shocked to see them named here, they are like the nicest people i know.

manu chao, molotov and cafe tacuba fans are the worst here.

any condecending asshole who thinks he/her is superior because what he/she listens are shit. i would say anyone who listens to the killer, interpol, etc. but those people don't really like or listen to music, so they are not really fans.

atsonicpark 09.14.2007 01:11 PM

i'm really surprised no one replied to my "dir en grey" or "mindles self indulgence" fans, but then i think maybe some of you haven't been exposed to this scum..."Dir En Grey".. uh... just look them up if you don't know who they are.. and then realize that their fans dress like the people in the band.. they're constantly slashing themselves open and carving the band members' names into their skin (like Manson/Slayer fans but worse)... and.. yeah.. i dunno what to say..As far as MSI goes.. haha.. their fan base is so wretched.. I went to one of their shows.. all these whores going "PISS ON ME JIMMY!" I'd like to think it was a fun time, but the people there were SO fucking stupid. I was embarassed. And MSI weren't even very good. Sump Pumps and Tub Ring were way better. But yeah.Tool fans.. I know plenty of intelligent Tool fans, but SOME of them.. the ones who go "YOU KNOW HOW 'PARABOLA' IS 6 MINUTES AND 35 SECONDS LONG? WELL, JOHN 6:35 SAYS [SUCH AND SUCH] AND THEN IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT THE NEXT SONG 'TICKS AND LEECHES' IS IN THE TIME SIGNATURE 7/8 FOLLOWED BY 5/4 FOLLOWED BY 31/16, AND IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE NUMBERS USING WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT DANTE AND SATAN THEN YOU KNOW THAT..." You know, that bullshit. Look it up on wikipedia. It's ridiculous.. Tool fans think that Tool has hidden messages in their TIME SIGNATURES.

atsonicpark 09.14.2007 01:36 PM

Oh yeah.. I forgot: Hardcore fans of the Locust are some of the worst human beings in the history of existence. Everyone I've ever know who has remained hardcore into that band for years has been the biggest fucking idiots I've ever known. Jesus.

luxinterior 09.14.2007 02:32 PM

I only know one Dir En Grey fan.
