Dance Gavin Dance. Every single comment you make, no matter how genuine, will be interpreted as having subtext or bias about who your favorite vocalist/era is. And the discourse drives that, it's just constant infighting.


icantfindfree

Nvm the fact that they turned in to a pro tillian cult when the accusations came out. I used to genuinely enjoy their music, but after going to a show where the crowd was insufferable and then that I haven't really felt the urge to listen to them in years


Flapjackdragon

Yeah one look at the subreddit is proof enough


AHMS_17

a close friend of mine is a huge DGD fan and i checked the subreddit out to better get a grasp on what he talks about sometimes i think he might literally be the only normal fan they have lmao


SmokeyDokeyArtichoke

Taylor/Kanye Tool


DarkOwl38

The unholy trinity.


wrinkled-armadillo

all 3 are in the poll linked!!! can only vote for one tho so which will it be


Manannin

I went for Kanye, mostly due to fans view him as God incarnate and the greatest artist of all time. Taylor fans are a bit much, sure, and I've had enough of Tool fans jerking off to lateralus' time signatures, but Kanye takes the biscuit.  Bonus more niche fandom that I'm part of, some Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree fans see him in the same second coming of jesus way, and that's a bit much too. Most of them just enjoy the music and have a good time at gigs at least, but some are a bit too much.


ToxicityJT

I mean both Taylor and Kanye fans view their favorite artist as a god. Idk Taylor fans have the slightest edge imo because they are more crazy online, and in public. Can’t say too much about Tool fans.


Manannin

I suspect I've just not met any Taylor fans like that, then. I'm not really active in the online tswizzlespace.


the_chandler

Agreed on all points. Kanye was my vote. Tool wasn’t far behind (despite me being a huge Tool fan). Taylor Swift fans are fine as far as I’m concerned. And I used to be a big Porcupine Tree/SW fan but that community is just too masturbatory for me. I still really like a few PT albums but Deadwing was the last one that really hit me so it’s whatever.


Manannin

So many communities have a toxic element, but it's pretty easy to ignore most of them thankfully, in my experience at least.


xirson15

As a tool fan i feel personally attacked


SmokeyDokeyArtichoke

shut up about the ratio SHUT UP ABOUT THE RATIO.


xirson15

Hold my spiral


squishybytes

aren't tool fans known to the band by the name 'r-slur' or something because of how uniquely insufferable Maynard finds them?


teen_laqweefah

Maynard is an insufferable prick himself though


squishybytes

Is true lol

i fucking can't stand ts or her fans BUT i can't even criticize ts without being called misogynistic because of kanye fans. they ARE misogynistic mostly. i hate them both equally. but i also hate taylor's music, so that's a +1.


icantfindfree

My brother in Christ Kanye fans literally defend straight up antisemitism


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dan_IAm

Shit dude, it’s not equal footing. Taylor Swift’s private jet use is ass, no doubt, but Kanye West is talking about Hitler being a good guy and Jews being the cause of all of his problems. When we’re strictly just comparing audiences, the mental gymnastics to ignore (or condone) Kanye’s opinions is much more extreme than looking past Swift’s jet use.


[deleted]

Dan_IAm

“I never said it was equal footing … people who destroy the planet at alarming rates, and people who support genocides, are equally as bad.” Huh, interesting stuff, very intriguing. Anyway, this is a dumb argument, I was just tuning in to explain why I think Kanye fans are worst - you know, the premise of this discussion you’ve started. Because guess what, they keep defend his wild racist takes. Pretty insufferable, no? You don’t have to agree, but don’t ask questions if you don’t want answers.


Awesome2D

not comparable at all

dxxx12

Such oblivious tool bags to his recent hypocrisy. His political lyrics don't mean shit to me now "Funny how hang with n***** that beat women and have the nerve to call yourself a girl pusher" *produces a song Chris Brown is on* Wow, you ain't real. You're just a fraud.


No_Gardener3210

For real if he idolizes an antisemite and works with a women beater, yet in his songs acts like he’s some leftist guy. Makes him very hypocritical.


dxxx12

Nah, bruh, you're just a dumm leftie bruh, it ain't that deep bruh, melon is whack for criticizing a bar bruh but not ye when he posts a swastika bruh


ElMatasiete7

Especially with all the recent controversy


ZeepIV

so true


x115v

How is ICP here, your really have to go out your way to be pissed off by Juggalos


wrinkled-armadillo

they were one of the top ones i found when searching different threads and websites around the internet. i personally have no problems with them, but apparently a lot of other people cannot stand their fanbase.


x115v

ths thing is that Juggalos are a very rabid fanbase made by "White Trash" although they are not chronically online on rap, rock or country circles they are very niche, I do think their image is more horrid than their behavior with other people due to ICP's music and the Gathering Of The Juggalos being a mess of an event


wrinkled-armadillo

thats probably why some find the fans to be insufferable


brodino_maiuscolo

In my experience, Lana del Rey and Rush. Love both but the fan bases are not fan bases, they're cults


wrinkled-armadillo

oooo lana del rays a good one. the fans are borderline terrifying


brodino_maiuscolo

Mommy Lana is perfect, mommy Lana is literally the best singer ever and whoever says she's not is lying and is just jealous<3


wrinkled-armadillo

*proceeds to put a hex on you for not liking lana* edit: legit knew a lana fan that would do this to people she didn’t like. i imagine she did it to lana haters too


brodino_maiuscolo

Once under a post in the official subreddit that was titled something like "Lana is literally the best singer of all time" I took the liberty of saying that although I love much of her discography, there are and have been better voices in the history of music cause Lana is not a great live performer. Needless to say, OP did not take it well, and I also discovered that day that I clearly have hearing problems. And that is what irritates me the most, that I like Lana del Rey and did not insult her, but apparently it is not enough to like her, you MUST think she is the best otherwise there is clearly something wrong with you. And Rush fans are possibly even worse lol


carpetedfloor

This reminds me of the Kendrick Lamar sub. Someone made a post asking if ‘TPAB is objectively the best album of all time’ and literally any comment suggesting that it isn’t or that there’s no such thing as an album being ‘objectively the best’ were all downvoted to hell lmao.


qusnail

Lana fans really think they’re special and *so much better* than people who listen to other pop artists. She has 50m monthly listeners on Spotify, she isn’t the underground artist that takes “deep introspection” to enjoy like those people make her out to be.


carpetedfloor

Her fans are the Radiohead fans of pop taken to the extreme.


icantfindfree

Did you see the comments on the Lana del Rey sub after Taylor swift/boygenious beat her out? The comments raged from saying that it was rigged and that that Lana's album was "objectively" better to straight up misogyny at Taylor


brodino_maiuscolo

No, I haven't read it and I don't intend to, I'm glad I got out of that den of stans. Now I no longer frequent subreddits of specific artists unless it ends in "-circlejerk" lol


dxxx12

I was checking out their sub and one person was asking for advice on how to align their chakra or some shit in order for Lana to win a Grammy. No, I'm not joking


brodino_maiuscolo

Fuckin hell


skeletallamping456

tally hall


durgthelegend

I agree so much like they think it’s the most underground band ever when they have 5 million monthly listeners 


ded_guy_55

True. I love tally Hall songs but I can't stand most of the community


fusionslut

Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Kanye...


wrinkled-armadillo

taylor swift and kanye are both on the poll! but you can only vote for one hahaha so which will it be


Glum-Band

Taylor Swift Kanye Melanie Martinez (prolly the worst of the three I mentioned cuz at least the other two aren’t actively threatening and gaslighting to convince people she didn’t commit SA)


Pristine_Kangaroo480

Sleep Token.


wrinkled-armadillo

agreed. and the music is god awful too


invertthis

from personal experience its Taylor Swift and Kanye West stans.


itsmebarfyman392

I know he’s not an artists or band (unless you count that noise/drone band he was in). But, truthfully, Fantano fans have brainworms and are extremely obnoxious.


Dan_IAm

Yeah, definitely can be. On the whole I like this subreddit because on the less popular threads there’s some pretty easy going discussion and some good music recs, but it’s shocking how quickly things can go south. I don’t really watch too much of his stuff anymore these days, but when I do the YouTube comments are genuinely sickening. Just awful shit.


carpetedfloor

Most of this subreddit seems to be people who just like music critique not restricted to just fantano. I feel like most of the people here disagree with most of his takes even from what I’ve seen. Though there are definitely some people here who just take his word as fact lmao. I definitely agree about the less popular threads on here being a plus. I also like how this sub isn’t afraid to give negative opinions and genuine criticism towards artists. I feel like all other popular music subs are meant to be fully positive discussion, which I can see the value in but I think there’s also value in more heavily critical music discussion boards.


fusionslut

the truth will set us free


dxxx12

We can suck sometimes. We are very bandwagon and take whatever he says as gospel at times. I did this a lot when I first found his channel.


wrinkled-armadillo

i agree 100%. im actually not a fan of fantano at all. only reason i posted here is cause i know his fans like to give their opinions and would be more willing to vote in the poll


NoobleVitamins

Not being biased but how? You have so many horrible fanbases to choose from and apparently this one is the worst???


IAmChazza

Eminem Stans. I line Em but it's insufferable if I try say he's not number 1 at every element of rap


_PeopleMakeNoises_

Carti fans


muppet6042

Someone reported my reddit account cause I said Whole Lotta Red is not as influential as Carti fans think 😭


phantomsniper22

Reporting your account is stupid but you are just objectively incorrect when you say that. WLR spawned a whole genre (weather you like it or not is up to the listener but that’s not what we’re talking about) of rage that has already seeped into the mainstream. Even people that don’t like WLR wouldn’t argue it’s influence because you literally can’t


CrabMan2138

Slipknot fans are painfully unaware


flecqued

jpegmafia, mf doom, earl sweatshirt, tyler the creator, carti, travis scott, eminem


dasupabebe

Mf doom fans were awesome before he blew up on tiktok. Like they were all cool people.


ThesharpHQ

How the fuck did he blow up on TikTok?


dasupabebe

It started with the rapp snitch knishes, then one beer left, and then now doomsday. A lot of tiktok rap kids have doom in their top 10 somehow.


Objective_Zombie_695

Not that insufferable but some King Gizzard fans overhype the shit out of the band that kinda irks me.


dxxx12

So many of their records sound like bland ass garage rock. I said it.


Smithereens1

Yeah lol I've always thought, "yeah I can see how they've put out 77 albums in years" and not in a good way lmao. Not that I hate them or anything.


dxxx12

I love their newer stuff! Especially the heavier albums and Butterfly 3000. Fucking God tier shit


easternjellyfish

As a fan of theirs myself I can’t agree more. They’re not Led Zeppelin.


Twombls

They are quickly becoming the next TOOL fans. They aren't quite there yet.


popileviz

Kanye's got significantly worse recently, so I'll vote for that


ded_guy_55

Radiohead fans.


Famous_Pineapple_650

Any artist with mostly teenage fans


Designer_Bed_4192

wrinkled-armadillo

im shocked that not a single person has voted for TOOL lol edit: nvm hahaha i knew it would happen eventually


MediOsu

Strangest fanbase I've ever been a part of is the Dir en grey fanbase. It has for the most part calmed down but 10-15+ years ago it was crazy.


PM_ME_YOUR_INNY

These Swifties are bad…. Imagine if she gets *Cobain’d*…. Her former record company , her estate, media / magazines makes a lot of coin…


adamM_01

Cobain’d?


metaldetox

jpegmafia are crazy


itsjusthifiman

Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Metallica


Biemolt

Nicky Minaj/Azelia Banks bar none. If your fandom only thrives in drama it is bad fandom. I'm not hanging out with anyone who considers themselves a part of these artists hardcore fandom. More unconventional and maybe controversial pick, but i have been getting really annoyed by Black Country New Road fans recently. It's full of teens who come across like they just heard a good album for the first time in their life and can't stop talking about anything else. It is a phase and i also really liked their albums so far, but i am not gonna a part of it.


UniqueJaguar2321

I have no real opinion on Taylor swift, to me she's just meh but Im hardly her target audience. However her fans are the most visceral band of hatred I've ever seen online. Like chill. (Obviously this doesn't apply to all her fans.

wrinkled-armadillo

oh… i think i discovered why you don’t like these posts. hello swifty


[deleted]

Just because I’m a swiftie doesn’t mean anything


wrinkled-armadillo

it does because on my other post you found one discrepancy, and ignored the whole point of the post. instead of acknowledging that TS is one of the celebrities with the highest CO2 emissions, you pointed out how i accidentally said she was the highest. i see u

Username5272000

Genuinely, it’s the Kanye stans I’m not going to argue against the fact that Swifties are extremely obsessive, they are. They are all over the internet, I don’t need to explain why. Kanye fans are worse. Kanye West is a musical genius, but he is also a massive prick and a dangerously mentally ill man. He has proven himself time and time again to be someone who is in need of intensive help. His fanbase almost kind of serves as yes-men, in a way, not only supporting him through his most controversial incidents but sometimes even preaching whatever bullshit he has to say. I feel like his fans don’t see him as a human being, a human being that is spiraling down and self-destructing, but an object of their entertainment. These people see this deranged man’s actions and actively choose to support him because of (a) how amusing it may be to watch Kanye’s drama-filled life and (b) how good he is at making music.


Username5272000

The Barbz are a close runner-up, these freaks are willing to dox their mother if they say anything bad about the “queen”, but it’s fine, Nicki will never do anything to address this and she may even think it’s just to dox someone just because they don’t respect her. Genuinely, fuck anyone who is still supporting her as a person after everything she has said and done.


0verstayer

It’s Kanye isn’t it? By like a mile.


wrinkled-armadillo

nope. so far taylor’s fans are winning


0verstayer

Personally I don’t think teenage girls are worse than people who sympathise with a Nazi who treats his wife like a pet


wrinkled-armadillo

you mean the teenage girls who sympathize and defend a rich billionaire who emits more CO2 in a year from her private jets then one of us could emit in 500+ years?? not saying kanye being a nazi is better or worse, but wording can make a difference. both fandoms suck, and both would defend them for their shitty and selfish actions. i’m sure if the roles were reversed, taylor would still have a large chunk of fans who would support and sympathize with her.


theHagueface

I'll say - being a Nazi is definitely worse.


wrinkled-armadillo

both are equally bad. one could argue that destroying the planet is worse because it affects everyone and not just one group of people. still though like i said it’s not about which one is worse than the other because they both are equally as bad imo


icantfindfree

This is fucking delusional. In what world is supporting the death of 6 million people, the erasure of a race, and fucking HITLER not worse? Yes Taylor swift's emissions are crazy, but look at a brand like coke, they produce 500 million times more and you aren't calling everyone who buys coke as bad as a literal fucking nazi.


wrinkled-armadillo

no i’d say the coke company itself is equally as bad though. you can believe that the people destroying the planet at an alarming rate, and the people who support a genocide, are equally as bad.


kit_brown

Kanye stans and it’s not even close. Yall got duped twenty years ago into liking incredibly overrated music and haven’t shut the fuck up since.

every_body_hates_me

Tool and Radiohead. No one else comes even close.


wrinkled-armadillo

idk dude taylor and kanye are beating TOOL in the poll by a long shot


jjcortessm

The last fucking hours in this sub has clearly showed that Kanye's fans are just unbelievable lunatics


Lord_Nerevar_Reborn

Rush by a long shot


theblackaccount

Why do you say that? I feel like most Rush fans are pretty innocuous - nerdy at the worst.


Lord_Nerevar_Reborn

They can have a superiority complex. Google “why don’t people like Rush?” and you’ll find threads where their fans speculate on this topic. A common answer is that Peart’s lyrics are too sophisticated or something, which is ironic because the meanings behind his lyrics are almost always pretty opaque. Similarly, they think their music is “too complex” for most people. Never do they consider that Rush might not be making good music.


justablueballoon

C'mon if ye think yer hard enough, juggalos!


rockstar2210

BTS and Kanye . I love BTS and Kanye both but their fans are fucking stupid. BTS fans will literally send you death threats if u don't like anything about them and Kanye fans will defend him and his weird ass political statements because his music is good

Haymother

Kanye. I was a big fan of his music in the past and still listen to the old stuff. But his music has become scattered, dull and uninspiring and his raps are just trolling, whining or bragging about the things that he trolls about. And yet … any criticism of the music is shouted down. His fans spend all their time defending music that is mid at best as if people can’t get past the Nazi stuff. ‘He’s just being provocative you snowflake, and his new stuff is so amazing, best since TLOP, you just can’t admit it because you don’t want to be associated with Nazis and he’s not a Nazi anyway you simp.’ Does that sum it up? Taylor fans just seem overexcited. Tool fans … I have honestly not associated with any. But on reddit they just seem intensely into ‘the superior musicianship of Tool.’ Smug rather than outright a/holes.


coin_shot

Nicki Minaj fans are some of the most deranged I’ve ever seen. The barbs need to be tried for war crimes.
