What are some of your "warning sign" bands? - When you hear someone says they like X band then it's time to ask for the check.

100 gecs fans are just trooned-out Death Grips fans.

And male Death Grips fans are pretentious degenerate redditors who are likely to either be trying to groom teenage girls or are part of a furry diaper fetish discord

100 gecs (and by extension, hyperpo(o)p in general) is just crunkcore for people who think they're too good for crunkcore.

a melanie martinez fan is not a mentally stable person at all, but they are tolerable. but one singer fandom that is barely tolerable imo is taylor swift fans. the they/them retards and bland girls listen to her music. blasting her song in public is an earrape

Anyone who ever chose to listen to Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, or MCR is incapable of violence and should not be relied upon.

Radiohead is just Tool but for anorexic crybaby twinks instead of morbidly obese fedorian bloatbags. I would say that any prior history of dedicated Radiohead fanaticism is a reasonable litmus test for predicting future troonage.

As for (s)tool fans in particular:

Personally I think Exit Music (For A Film) is good, but I don't think it's generally representative of their work, though I have not listened to much else. It's indirectly based (I think?) on Shakespeare so that might be something to do with it.

Neutral Milk Hotel has always been that bad that I almost don't believe anyone actually likes them but instead it's like a collective mania that infects others through memetic devices to trick you into thinking "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" is a good album.

The thing about Airplane though is that on about listen six or seven it magically becomes catchy as fuck and you start mindlessly singing it for the rest of your life. I am afraid all my infants have been soothed back to sleep in the middle of the night with Holland 1945 many times.

Anyone really into K-Pop boy bands likely has fujo tendencies and will troon out and break your heart. Red flag.

I ran into a Male Vietnamese Kpop fan a year ago. He didn't seem well in the head. All he could talk about was this Kpop group called Dreamcatcher. It turned out later he was homeless and on Meth and trashed the room provided to him.

 

[seri0us]

Anyone who likes Taylor Swift or Imagine Dragons. For that matter, any dipshit who says "I'm into rock, sure", and then gives you examples that are all bleep bloop fucking Thom Yorke crackhead yowling over some minimalist synth with no guitars and no riffage. I hate that shit.

"Imagine me draggin' these nuts across your face!"

You underestimate the edgy doomer's capacity for violence.

For my money I always liked In Rainbows best, but I would never describe myself as a Radiohead fanatic.

Really, I think I enjoy Atoms For Peace more than Radiohead proper anyway.

Those aren't doomer bands. Doomers are blackpilled by the state of the world; those bands are obsessed with suffering as a default state intrinsic to the self, only ever attributing that suffering to one's own essential inadequacies or imperfections or incompatibilities. It's 100% auto erotic self flagellation for stable suburbanites who can't figure out why they're unhappy, and conclude that there must be something fundamentally wrong with them. Doomers probably have the capacity for violence because they at least see the problems outside themselves; LP and NIN enjoyers just assume they're the problem.

It is 100% the best indicator of whether someone faced meaningful adversity in their youth.

Care to extrapolate that into something prescriptive - Or have these sinners crossed some event horizon within which they are ironically doomed for reasons they aren’t cognizant of? Furthermore, do these premises lend themselves toward predictable results in how meaningful adversity encountered in adulthood may affect the development of those who failed to encounter it in their childhood?

I regard 97-01 was Radiohead's golden period. The Bends hints at what was to come but was ultimately a bland grunge album and Hail To The Thief was the beginning of mumble-mumble big long outro of oooOOOoooOOOOooo.
In Rainbows was a steaming pile of shit and it's been bleep bloop bleep mumble-mumble ever since.

Back on topic:

Anyone who lets their musical preferences define their personality. It's okay to do it when you're young but after 25 you're pushing it. Do it after 30 and it starts to become embarrassing. Some of the worst offenders are those 50-odd year old blokes (British) with the Paul Weller haircuts and flowery shirts. Usually a bit of Liam-walk and shoulder-chip thrown in for some extra comedy.

I have to say I've always liked metal fans even though I'm not autistic enough to enjoy the music myself. They're always absolute dorks but never woke or normie-brained. I also admire the way they are totally unfazed by female revulsion to their rank body odour and thinning lank hair. They are abrasively unsexy and couldn't give a follow-through fart what anyone thinks. Good lads.

I like Radiohead's catalogue from 95-03, but I cannot stand its fanbase that stans Thorn Yorke and his "deep, philosophical" writing.

"Sonic the Hedgehog is a perfect encapsulation of capitalism. You gather all those rings, but you lose them all if you fall into the spikes. And you're always being pursued by a fat guy."

Yes, Thom Yorke said this. Yes, people praised this insight.
Some people should just stick to music.

I've been around a number of adult Linkin Park Enjoyers and this is definitely true. I have a soft spot for them myself, I used to listen to them when I was much younger, back during their apex of popularity - these days the unholy fusion of metal and rap and screamo is powerfully cringe to me, but Hybrid Theory and Meteora are already in my head as formative music experiences. I'm pathologically unable to avoid vibing. so I've had various social encounters online and IRL where Linkin Park became a topic of conversation, especially after Chester's suicide, and there is absolutely a personality that is attracted to that type of energy, that convulsion of manic self-hatred, people who dive head-first into their depressive tendencies and swim in it every chance they get, because they're little piggies and they fuckin love it. they heap insults on themselves, adopting a persona of a troubled sadbrain who has difficulty in life due to their Problems, because being a beleaguered but deep-hearted misfit in a tragic world is much cooler and more dramatic than being an insufferable self-defeating loser. I swear to dog this is a real personality type I've encountered multiple times and not some retard shit I'm pulling out of my ass.

Eric/Patrica Taxxon. His singing is JustinRPG tier to my ears.

Femtanyl. Trying to make self-mutilation, pup-play, and being trans sound cool with scream rap and earrape bass ("Take my E and think about my setbacks," "I get clocked like it's a job to me"). Almost all of his fans are underage just by looking at the comments and animation memes featuring his songs. Didn't screenshot it, but a suicide helpine autopop-up used to show on Youtube when looking up his songs.
