Genre With The Most Annoying Fans

hard one. im not going to say indie kiRAB because i am kind of one. though i dont think ive ever read a pitchfork review in my life. My sisters a metaller but she annoys me by default - and i generally think metallers can be quite cool cats when they want to be. I have nothing against dance kiRAB really.
I'm going for Hip Hop heaRAB because although i detest emo boys and 90% of the girls for their self righteous, melodramatic ways, i have been going out with one for nearly a year.
 
Metal fans bar none.

Also Fusion fans who post on rock forums but bash every artist that isn't a 1000 year old guy that no one has ever heard of, has a funny, unprouncable name, doodles on a accoustic guitar for 9 hours and puts it on record so people can admire his musical virtuosity and brag about how he was a child prodigy who could play Neo Classical music when he was 4, blah blah blah.
 
This is a brilliant post.

I'm a fairly tolerant person, so none of them really bother me. They're just young, testing the waters. I mean, the difference between teens today, and when I was growing up in the late 70's and early 80's is huge, music wise.

I may not care for most of the music these days, but I recognize the fact that young people today have far more choices than my generation ever had. They also have a lot more freedom to cross boundaris and listen to music they want, without any inhibitions. There's all colors and styles on the same radio stations today.

Top 40 today has rap, pop, metal, punk, and that weird country/pop thing, whatever it is. You would have never found such a mix on one radio station 25 years ago. So, in that aspect, music has progressed a lot.

That being said, I'll express my thoughts on a few things that do sort of bother me, but has nothing to do with the music.

The spelling rappers use drives me nuts. They've made it cool to be illiterate, and that's not good. Yes, there are plenty of people out there who listen to rap who are intelligent enough to spell worRAB correctly. But what about the ones who aren't?

Secondly, the clothes. Will everyone please....pull your darn pants up!!!???.

As far as the Goth comments, there are a lot of them here. I live in a college town, so the place is crawling with 'goth people', for lack of a better term. I've had a lot of contact with them, and I'll tell you right now, they are easily the most soft spoken, easy going, polite young music fans I've met. The goth look is just a look, as it is with all genre. The image projected from the music.
 
heh I knew a mostly non-metalhead taht jsut loved to rave on and on about Paul Gilbert
and good thing I'm an open-minded metalhead that dabbels in nearly every form of music

Heh how abotu adding American Idol groupies, though that's not really a specific genre..
 
I tell you who irritates me - Elitist "alt" fans who scoff at the mention of something like the 22/20s or the Libertines as they sit there listening to their Sigur Ros or Animal Collective album.
