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.

[Art Corvalay]

Can't name any specific bands, but the fanbase of black metal and other edgy alt music bands are 9 out of 10 times troons.
Also, if you listen to 'K-Pop' I am assuming you are retarded or mentally ill, or both.

From my experience, black metal fans aren't troons, but are the sort of insufferable autist who probably would have trooned out if they didn't end up down some fringe RW rabbit hole instead. A bit like groidpers in that regard.

All of you have terrible music tastes and your opinions suck.

Most people are annoying, judgmental retards when it comes to discussing music and can't imagine why anyone would like a different genre or artist than them. This is why many people don't answer this question honestly and just say that they listen to anything because they don't want someone else lecturing them or sperging out about why your personal taste in music is wrong and why you should only listen to what they tell you to. Many people also think that only certain types of people should like specific genres of music and get pissed off about it if you don't fit into their stereotypes.

Unfortunately very true. Even relatively open minded adventurous people can act like complete snobs if they deem something you like to be lowbrow trash. Bitch shut the fuck up you eat twinkies and smoke $3 packs of cigarrettes, even you are proof not everything people consume has to be some pretentious haute affair all the fancy critics agree is good.

Honestly BM can be a coinflip between the two, and it all falls down to whether or not they like Burzum.

 

[Ruined by the Rain]

I'm a sublime fan and the stereotype is real. I have never met someone that is a sublime fan and isn't a complete loser.

For red flag it's got to be Mindless Self Indulgence fans. They have a cluster B personality and you should run fast and run far.

Lizzo/meganthestallion/icespice/any astro turfed ugly negress-

Depend on race. If it's anything but white she's easy and DTF

Car Seat Headrest

Car seat headrest fans are all faggots. If he doesn't appear to be one he's a secret faggot. If it's a female she's either a pooner or a latent pooner.

(despite the fact that the lead singer admitted to raping a teenage girl)

To a MSI fan that probably makes the band even more fuckable to them

 

[Angel by Massive Attack]

Blink-182 (Specifically if the guy is under 25 and listening to them): Horrifying overlap between a weezer and sublime fan. I've met two men that unironically have Blink as a favorite band, and both of them were severely emotionally challenged. Was dragged to a concert once; every bit of the interludes was basically just middle school sex jokes that the entire crowd was scream-laughing at. I felt like I was in the Truman Show. It's a sixth sense at this point; I can taste the pop-"punk" zoomer in the air whenever I enter a space with one.

Clairo/Men I Trust/Deftones (Male): Weird soy guzzlers that think acting like a woman is the best recipe to find one. They also tend to act like the woman in the relationship! Also have a weird sense of competition with men that are manlier than them? He wants to be his girl's "bestie" but at the same time would probably throw up if she revealed any details of her life that didn't include him and his weird mom fantasy. Any combination of these three just immediately tells me that the man I'm talking to is not ensouled. Clairo is the biggest offender of this.

Chappel Roan (Female): Not a fan of these girls. Somehow they're always fat with an attitude. I don't know how, but it's like they feel entitled to her fame as well? Trying to get a sufficient response out of them that isn't some sort of back-handed babble or thirsting is genuinely impossible. The most annoying drunks at the bar.

Sleep Token (Female): I don't want your dark fantasy recommendations. I don't want to see your nipple piercings. I don't want to see a clip of the lead singer free-balling on stage. I don't want to hear about your Disney trip mascot groping adventures. I don't want to see your grotesquely proportioned boyfriend. I don't want to hear about your daddy issues. Please don't scream in my face about how they're actually metal and I can't handle new ideas. The band is imagine dragons if they called themselves metal, somehow made worse by the fact that they take themselves completely seriously. The lead singer sounds like he's trying to reach the mic through a mouthful of peanut butter.

 

[James Brown]

I saw one other person post this but Cannibal Corpse, or any other 2edgy4u metal band. Worst music fans ever.

I've had friends send me shit like this and really tried to appreciate it because I liked them as people, but I can't take it seriously. Even less edgy stuff like Angelmaker and the Black Dahlia Murder. Just an instant audible turn-off.

• Horrorcore rap (Esham and his progeny): This is the bottom of the barrel for reeking, greasy, white trash. KoRn and Tool fans are like middle school girls while these people still exist. Lots of hydrocodone, meth, and inhalant abuse in this group. Always on some kind of government assistance.
• Rex Orange County/Gus Dapperton/Alvvays/Bazzi: Fucked and smoked a lot in 2017. But she was different, if you couldn't tell by the Birkenstocks and Patagonia. Stripped on Omegle while underage. Scared of rock music. If not an upper middle class white girl, a tranny.
• Alice in Chains: The worserer of Nirvana fans. Almost always female, almost always have a maladaptive daydreaming relationship with Layne Staley, always Borderline.
• Misfits/The Birthday Party/"cult" punk: Nobody genuinely enjoys this. Only has "cult" status because the lead singer had a much more successful solo career not doing punk. The "fans" go to reunions shows exclusively for this artist but they'll never admit that.
• Warren Zevon: This is a very specific kind of boomer. Almost like the boomer version of a Rick and Morty fan. Fart-huffers with that obnoxious, cynical sense of humor that they think is unique. Often alocholics. Has an estranged daughter. (I occasionally enjoy Zevon, this is the only kind of listener you'll find.)
• Jimmy Buffet: See above but Salt Life. Somehow always has a DV record despite priding themselves on being chill. Has an estranged son.
• White Zombie/Godsmack: Middle-aged nurses with facial piercings and dyed hair. Drives a Kia Soul. 3 kids all with different dads, ages range from middle school to married and pregnant.
• Everclear: I don't need to explain who this person is.

 

[The Purple Ghost]

All the people i've met who like Gezebelle Gaburgably are terribly unhinged.
Also her music is ass, like it is the worst combination of genres.

Blink-182

Incredibly childish for sure but it is kinda baked into the band. If you were dragged along I can see it being annoying. But the crappy jokes they know aren't funny are part of the charm.
There is nothing worse than seeing a live band and they just don't interact with the crowd at all, always a bit of a bummer
(The only exception I have is Trent Reznor because he is crazy autist)

 

[Art Corvalay]

Honestly, I've seen a lot less of them among AiC fans than I've seen GenX or older Millennial divorced dads who are a bit more burned out and less normie than some of the others (but still a lot more normie than, say, Megadeth fans)

On that note
-Megadeth: Probably early or mid-50s, divorced, incredibly bitter about his ex(es), and a hardcore alcoholic whose now-adult kids hate being around him. Terminally online despite his age, and spends a lot of his time either political sperging or arguing about music with people half his age or less
-Pantera: Pretty much the same as above, just 5-10 years younger (and kids may not be grown yet), less likely to be very online (but still can be), and more likely to have been arrested for something other than a DUI. Is either total white trash or Mexican. Would be a juggalo if he got into rap instead of metal.

When you're right, you're right.

 

[Internet-Based Lobotomy]

All of you have terrible music tastes and your opinions suck.

Well all music sucks so there's that to consider as well.

Joy Division, Neutral Milk Hotel, Giles Corey, Death Grips and all those other "/mu/ core" band fans seem to have a high propensity to troon out. People that are really into making cover songs of these bands seem to be at exponential risk.

 

[Second Alter Ego]

Giles Corey

You take that back right fucking now you nigger

 

[The Hardest R]

Most AIC fans I know are former addicts who still think doing drugs makes you deep. “Like Layne is just so beautiful man and heroin is so bad for you but you don’t know how much it makes you see through the bullshit, man…” You turn into the biggest hardcore DARE activist after listening to two minutes of their bullshit.

For the record I like a number of their songs but Layne’s final interviews are all about how he wish he never started on heroin. There’s nothing deep or beautiful about being on drugs.

 

[Floppa Elite]

This is the inverse, but Sleep Token (as in, people who listen to them tend to be pretty alright.) Never had a bad experience with someone who enjoys Sleep Token, personally.

Isn't she the one who make femcel music? I like some of her songs. It speaks to the femcel inside me.

haha yeah, and I mean you do you mate.
I just find it very "lowest common denominator" kinda music. But do your people proud, maybe you can be the first not-unhinged fan

 

[Ruined by the Rain]

Thanks for believing in me

 

[SuzukaKobayashi]

Any person who tells me they like "breakcore" but it's just shitty dnb by some tranny with no talent (I'm looking at you sewerslvt) or anyone who's into taylor swift or kpop, 100gecs is also a major red flag for me or any "hyperpop" (whatever the fuck that is) fan.

I met a guy last year, and honest to god when I asked him what music he likes (I ask this to everyone so I can know them better, it's incredibly easy to tell how someone is by their favorite artists/songs) and he no joke, told me: harry styles, taylor swift and some other name I can't remember but it was a white woman name, mind you I replied "that's all girl music" by accident and he was embarrassed but then I didn't talk to them again because why tf would a man listen to that?

Also, I never oppose listening to songs from artists who have a fanbase with a bad reputation, I listened to Taylor Swift and hated it, I listened to BTS and hated it and 100gecs and so on, their music has no flavor, no feelings, not even catchy tunes to groove, it's just souless.

 

[McMitch]

"breakcore"

Amen, Brother and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the production of music.

 

[SuzukaKobayashi]

it’s consequences have been a disaster for the production of music.

I think the saddest thing is, I listened to it before it became a thing. It was around 2011-2012, I was very very young and I was finding random wikipedia articles about music and found breakcore, the artists around that time were just insane but there is one artist I still like that no new artist is even close to production quality and truthful to what breakcore is supposed to be, and that artist is long gone too

We’re talking about a 30-year-old genre ostensibly based around a single drum sample. I cannot fathom what innovation could be squeezed from this stone.
