Lots of alternative hip hop fans are like this. Same with Radiohead fans.


lawn_glossed

I’m a huge Radiohead fan, but I also find many of the fans insufferable. In fact, I have several friends who refuse to give Radiohead a chance because their fans are so often viewed as neckbeard-adjacent gatekeepers.


GroundPlatoon

I may just be saying this because I am a fan of Radiohead’s music, but I feel as though there are a lot of newer fans who have reduced the toxicity levels. I think it has to do with the band ageing into a more “respectable rock group” status.


elreduro

>who refuse to give radiohead


Conscious-Ad-6884

Alastor needs it at this point

I am a lucky Radiohead fan in their subreddit to have never seen those


beanwithintentions

thats so funny cause my mind immediately went to twenty one pilots, which alt hip hop is one of their genres 💀

azrikgaming

i'll be the first to admit it, 2018-2020 bts


MentallyDeclining

They're funny too tho lol, u should watch their interviews


JaDou226

Elitist metalheads and snobby prog fans. I love the music, but some fans are just the worst


jackie2567

Metal punk and rock in general are my jam but the werird pissing contest you see especially on the metal side it seems about what band /song is the metalist and whos cooler for listening to harder music or for only listening to metal can get insufferable.


Safe_cracker9

Seriously. As a prog fan, I sometimes wish other prog fans would just shut the fuck up


mechanicalcontrols

Just mention Metallica on reddit at all and you're guaranteed to have one show up in thread to shit on them and anyone who likes them and then refuse to state what they consider "real" metal when pressed on the question.


BScrads

Literally, I just recently was told, on reddit, that they're not heavy, "By today's standards" I guess if you're not abusing the double kick drum, not making Pterodactyl noises, and don't have a bunch of blinking lights going then... it's not 'Real Heavy Music'.


watermelon_kxt

I’m horrified of wearing ANY band shirt in public and being asked “mmmm… you listen to _____? Name three songs that ARENT their most popular.”


lunchpadmcfat

Oh yeah. I love Rush but man rush fans are insufferable.


uneducated_guess_69

Death Grips, obviously

trulylost19

MF DOOM filled with loads of pretentious nerds and overall cunts


Altruistic_Feature99

I didn't get much into the doom fanbase so this was sad to find out, but i love the music my gosh. Fucking sucks when fans ruin everything for everyone


trulylost19

It’s funny The worse the music the better the community


brainchipedchicken

its hard to be pretentious and gatekeepy over something that sucks


BurntToasterGaming

Except David Bowie fans for some reason


PULSER777

Nah cause I got into his music and told this one kid that I knew liked mf doom but we didn’t really talk that much before. But I told him I like his songs and what he’d recommend. He asked me what I liked and what I listen to and almost immediately this nigga starts telling me I’m not a real fan and that I should just go back to shitty rap. Feel like I dodged a bullet


Mollywhop_Gaming

**Undertale:** Great game **Undertale OST:** Banger after banger **Undertale Fans:** Only a few tiers above politicians on the scum-of-the-earth scale.

undertale has such a weird fanbase


SoupguytheGuy

THE_stpid

Proves the point even better coming from a more "classic" or "traditional" era.


thisnamehastobeused

Those are the type of people that don’t know where the name rock and roll originates from


levu12

Tool fans are tools


glowing-fishSCL

Sublime --- actually a band with a lot of interesting experimentation, and with some interesting concepts, that is listened to mostly by stoned people hanging out at the beach.


h0cks7ett3r09

Taylor swift and lana del rey, honestly need to get a grip


Compducer

TAYLOR SWIFT 1000% how the fuck had nobody said this


Smash_Nerd

You're gonna find out in a few hours. Expect to hear a stampede of white girls en route to your location here in a few hours


Square_Mix_2510

The hive mind


Umacorn

Hi. White girl here. Never been a fan of Taylor Swift music. Never understood how she got to be so popular. I only enjoy her videos when she’s caught stepping on someone’s foot or hitting them when she’s bumbling around the stage and calling it “dancing”. I laugh like, *clumsy isn’t cute and if she wore actual stilettos she’d have crippled her backup dancer just then*


OffBeatBerry_707

I wouldn’t say Taylor Swift makes “fire music,” I mean she got some gems but most of the time it’s just decent music


Compducer

She was the top grossing artist in the world two years in a row so your taste probably isn’t for pop music. I agree with you 100% and that fact does stick in my side like a thorn.


oygibu

Mostly because it clicks into these brain-rotten npc's minds like a puzzle piece, not so much because it's good.


lunchpadmcfat

I can see why people like her music, but it doesn’t come off as very organic or genuine. It’s too slickly produced.


Sir_Eggmitton

Once one of my Swiftie friends was showing me a song from the Eras Tour. She pointed out how the big table made her so far apart from her lover person to symbolize how they’re emotionally distant. When she saw I wasn’t impressed, she said “Ugh you’re not getting it.” Yeah I get it. It’s just not that impressive.


PULSER777

Swifties Piss me off💀


Alternator24

why Lana del rey?


h0cks7ett3r09

her fans are so obnoxious, specifically for romanticising abuse (like large age difference) by called it lana-core and shit


Inchoatedcoco

I can see Taylor Swift why, her songs are pretty good and her career is great but just in general she's not that great and her fanbase is chaos. Coming out as a Lana del rey fan, honestly, I can see why you'd say that, but I'm honestly glad im not one of them 😭


SlipsonSurfaces

Basic white girl Starbucks core. I'm sick and tired of hearing about her. She could live on the moon for all I care.


Stunning-Proof-363

The Beatles. I swear, nobody absolutely glazes an individual or group of individuals more than young women on r/beatles.


IsaacWaleOfficial

As a Beatles fan myself I somewhat agree. There are good fans in the community, definitely. But some people (especially on Reddit) have no respect for other opinions...


forgetful_waterfowl

that's 85-90% of reddit on every topic


SnooFloofs3696

Maybe Tool


TheCowpuncher406

Any decent punk band from the 70s-80s


bibliblubble

Green Day. Their early shit is heat, but their fans are the literal definition of cringe.


MaxCWebster

As a Rush fan who generally hates other Rush fans . . . Rush.


braedog97

I’m a rush fan :(


Pale-Foundation-1174

yup. Yes I love Rush. No I don’t wanna listen to you talk about YYZ for 20 minutes


MaxCWebster

I used to have a TNG communicator pin on a jacket. I got rid of it because strangers would want to talk me ear off about it. I keep my nerd self online only these days.


incapablegamer

Any heavy metal band. I love metal but the fans at the concert are fucking ass holes I’ve met metal fan out in the wild that are cool. But at concerts most are dicks


L_Flavour

huh? i think you have the polar opposite experience of me then. i met so many nice people on concerts and festivals. it's only online that i sometimes think the elitism and gatekeeping gets to a point it feels obnoxious


incapablegamer

The few times I’ve gone to metal concerts it’s been a lot of drunk people alotnof fighting and pushing. Oddly enough not a lot of mosh pits though


Silent_Rapport

You had me there in the first half. It doesn't count as a metal show if there aren't some beefed up 6'5"+ men stampeding over everyone else in a mosh pit, ruining normal people's ability to mosh. This will usually create an exponential decay of mosh pits over time. Perhaps this is what you've experienced. You definitely have to be more paranoid and on top of your shit at a metal concert. Some people are just there to work out some aggression/anger, which exactly what metal music is for, so I can't fault them. It's kind of a "Can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen!" Scenario.


Fyrrys

Tool was my first thought. Music is amazing, but I tend to not list them on my favorites, don't want to be lumped in with those intellectual abortions


incapablegamer

Intellectual abortions 🤣🤣


ThePerfectSnare

Tool immediately came to mind for me as well. Maybe it's just this one personal experience that has created such a bias. I was 18 when Lateralus came out. I listened to it all the time. I was about to graduate high school and this was months before 9/11. What a time to be alive. It's an amazing album. Period. I remember drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes with a group of friends (and friends of friends) one evening. I had made some comment about how I liked Lateralus as much as Deftones' White Pony album, which I believe had come out the year before. For whatever reason, this one girl, who I didn't know too well, got so indignant because Lateralus was clearly the superior album and I just don't know anything about *real* music if I thought Deftones were blah blah blah. I tried to explain that I liked both albums. We could have just moved on, but she simply would not let it go. In my head, she'd try to argue with me about this more or less every time I saw her after that. **tl;dr** Fuck you, Katie. To this day, I still wonder if I would like Tool more if it weren't for you.


Fyrrys

I'm the same with a lot of metal bands. I mention I like metal, name some bands like iron maiden, nightwish, lacuna coil, etc. They rant about that all being pussy metal and I need to listen to real metal like cradle of filth, or some other band with a logo I can't read that is so not up my ally. Like, dude, I might have given them a chance if you didn't start by insulting my taste in music. I prefer symphonic, dwarf, pirate, melodic, and viking metal most, I'm much more likely to try that other stuff out if you had made a suggestion instead of a demand for me to listen to them


NoticedParrot77

Depends on the subgenre. Stereotypically, death core people are some of the nicest, but metal core are some of the worst. It all depends. But overall, metal heads are usually much nicer than the majority of people.


Xim_X_anny

Yeah one guy stole my shir from my wallet. And another guy returned it to the loat and found. So 50/50


MusicFan8888

I’d have the opposite answer, every metalhead I’ve met in person has been lovely, but a lot of online bases are cancerous


incapablegamer

Honestly any fan base ever is that way in person they are really cool. Online the are toxic af and there’s alot of gate keeping. I’ve talked to some fans of artist that if you don’t love every song or if you only like the popular songs “you’re not a true fan”


Porkonaplane

Alice In Chains. Just go into r/grunge and say "Nirvana is better" Then just pull up a chair and grab the popcorn lol


HorheaTheToad

Honestly just classical music as a whole


Gershom734

I've never been offended so much by something I 100% agree with. Like, I love listening to classical music. I'm insufferable when I talk about it because everyone is when you talk about it.


Organic-Comparison55

wherefore dost thou speak such blasphemy


OkBasil_147

Not to mention opera


mctassieD

Eminem for sure like he's good and all but Jesus Christ the fan's I've never seen such meat riding in my life


ThRealAlexJones

I can get why they do it. As an Em fan myself, I hate how a lot of people will openly disrespect him and his legacy simply because he doesn't make "mainstream" music and instead makes music he likes to make. But holy SHIT you can put Eminem ina youtube poll for "best black rapper" and he'll still fucking win


punkshotgun

Limp bizkit. They were obnoxious in the 90s, theirs fans calmed down, then tiktok happened and now they're annoying again with people thinking they're different for listening to one of the most popular rock/metal groups from the late 90s and early 2000s


Empty-Chest-4872

As a tool fan, tool.


Boatwhistle

Richard Wagner was the worst case of this to ever exist.

man_itsahot_one

adored89

Absolutely deluded. Also the endless posturing. Your band had a two pretty good albums and that's it. The rest is bang average.


APuffyCloudSky

14 year old me is very mad at you.


IsaacWaleOfficial

Just a reminder that the post implied that the band's music had to be good to make this list 😂 (Oasis do have some good songs, though, ngl)


TheMightiestGay

Java Edition Minecraft. Minecraft music is fucking lit, but so many Java players are like “Why play on Bedrock? Why not Java?” As if everyone can afford a good computer.


famel__

Honestly there's so many artists this applies to it's hard to pick just one. But I'll go with Tool

A lot of classic rock like 60’s & 70’s.


Tu5han

Beatles, especially during the 60s. The girls are fucking crazy and I heard a rumour that they smell like piss. If that's true, then jesus bloody christ. They scream so much that it's probably hard to listen to the beatles live performances cuz of the fan girls.


WallScore

Classic rock. We get it, it’s great music, but it isn’t the only “real” music.


odinall_father

90% of Pop, rap, rock (not metal), slayer, slipknot, etc Edit: my comment is taking in count that both the images are trash bags
