i do not know either of those acts atsonicpark.

Kurt Cobain fans, especially those who want to look like Kurt. So ridiculous...
Unfortunatly, they come at every SY show, those dickhead.

i downloaded a dir en grey album once, i couldn't go thru it listening to once.

msi, i really only know one fan of them, this really cute girl that started smoking crack, needless to say i lost touch with her.

the locust, i know everybody in the u.s. say their fans are shitheads but here, if someone knows the locust, they are probably into good music...one of the first persons i met here who was into the locust is friends with the biggest current 93 fan in the country and he himself is into that kind of stuff.

wow, that blows my mind. i live in a town of 50,000 people and EVERYONE knows who msi and the locust are and a few weird vis kei loving cosplay girls know dir en grey.

fans of korn piss me off.

haha i'm a fan of the song "predictable" by korn. that song is AMAZING.

for some reason fans of metal, esopecially harsh death metal, tend to be the most narrowminded fucks ever, at least in ireland!

Trust me I;ve noticed it too. Refer to the post about Dream Theater fans with the 'If it doesnn't have a solo it sucks'. Currently playing Liars and thinking what the metal fans reaction to it would be.

me likey the liars

...not really... post-hardcore was a term made up for, basically, the kind of shit Dischord was putting out in the mid/late-80s and 90s... More use of dynamics and complexity than hardcore, but still rooted in hardcore punk.

A more academic term for emo would probably be emotive hardcore...

And, I hate to even say it, but "scene" kids (they're not "emo," they're just fucking lame and pretend to have problems) are the most retarded bunch around. Stop listening to boring, repetitive, uninspired and unoriginal music, stop dressing like everyone else, stop spending more time on yr retarded looking hair and make-up and do something that means something.

"Nirvana"/"Kurdt* Cobain" fans. Meaning: Kids that have Cobain posters plastered on their walls and have heard Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are... MAYBE About A Girl, and would probably rather die than listen to any of their more experimental and fucked up stuff.

Tsk, obviously

Fans who dig the pitchfork hype and only go to the show to prove they know the most about whatever band it is.

Yeah i know what you mean but generally the whole Manics thing seems like a bit of good fun to me. Obviously the ones you see who slash themselves up COS RICHEEEE FEELZ MY PAIN and take any criticism levelled at the music to heart are fools one and all, but i never knew anyone who was into the Manics AT ALL when i was into them.

These people are just sad. Theyre the kind of people who wear glasses but dont need to.

Radiohead.

I never really noticed how annoying and leech-like their fans were until I started visiting the AtEase forum. There's a thread in there that's 8349050349 pages about Thom Yorke's pubes.

In that earlier post on this thread, I talked about how annoying Velvet Underground fans were in the '80s and early '90s, wearing the band on their arrogant sleeves like some status symbol, in order to look intellectually and culturally superior to the jocks, metalheads, preppies, etc. Well, starting in the early '90s, around the time of Goo or Dirty, many of the slightly younger ('Gen-Y') crowd (at the high school level) started doing the same thing with Sonic Youth. Dan Clowes makes a note of this in his Ghost World graphic novel (collected from his Eightball comic), with Enid (Thora Birch in the 2002 film version, alongside Scarlett Johannson) making some snide comment about the snotty girls at school who think they're superior just because they've heard of Sonic Youth (or something like that). I think that was a very accurate observation on Mr. Clowes' part...

Many of mine have been said before.

Tool fans
Radiohead fans
Sonic Youth fans
REAL emo fans. They often bicker continuously with the 'scene' crowd about how they're right about emo
Iron Maiden/ ACDC/ Metallica/ Guns n' Roses/ Zed Leppelin / etc fans. They all like all of the above listed and thinks there is no better music out there

while the particular examples you gave might not be entirely accurate, why is it so crazy to believe that music could have things encoded in it?

Anyone who has ever felt they have had an unconditional link to whatever music gets in the charts.

haha.

okay, well, the example i gave was slightly different than what tool fans actually say, but it's actually LESSER than what tool fans think about lateralus.. that EVERY FACET OF THE MUSIC AND SOUND AND LYRICS are composed as some sort of bible or something.. you just have to look it up yourself, it's fucking ridiculous. It's not beyond me to believe that SOME aspect of the music was composed to convey some "hidden meaning", but the riffs/time signatures/lyrics/song titles/song lengths/tracklisting numbers/etc ALL coming together to relate a million little truths? ... Holy shit, Tool MUST be geniuses. That's why it takes 'em so long to work on albums: they ain't working on songs, they're working on the hidden meanings!

See what I mean?
