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.

[Boss Hawg]

In my experience, people that listen to Meg the Stallion, Cardi B, and Lizzo (and other fat no-talent goblinas) are gay if they are male and party sluts if they are women. I’ve not seen a single black person actually listen those “artist” so I know it’s to degenerate White peoples ideas of themselves.

If someone likes Sabaton, it is safe to assume that they are somewhere on the autism spectrum and have over 100 hours in one of the following games: War Thunder, ArmA 3, or Hearts of Iron 4. They will always try to divert any discussion topic to the best tanks of World War 2. Expect political sperging at random intervals from them

Well damn, this is a completely accurate description of me in like 2014. Listening to Sabaton playing Arma and War Thunder thinking I was big brained. Let’s just say I’ve grown up.

My music taste sucks, but I have SOME standards

Guys who only listen to bands like Nickelback, Seether, Disturbed, Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch, Powerwolf, etc. are almost always guaranteed to be losers who try to pick up teen girls and insist it's fine because they know her parents- oh, and they try to give you hugs all the time because they're so "nice" but in reality are touch starved and desperate to feel a woman's boobs through their shirt. Don't expect them to have a job above fast food or retail work, anger problems exist, hate how fat they're getting but won't stop eating fast food. Probably made an attempt to be emo or punk at some point and failed miserably.

(Not to say these bands don't have a few good songs, just.. the devout fans.)

For girls, K Pop stans. Run far, far away, as fast as you can. I've met more of them with BPD and severe daddy issues than not, the type to say they're gonna kill themselves because you're "ignoring" them after you forget to respond to their message within a few hours. They're horrible.

 

[TV's Adam West]

Oh. You like modern green day? You're extremely annoying with your political beliefs.

You listen to Anthony Fantano? Don't give me your music input, it will suck.

 

[TheSaltySpitoon]

As I only go to metal concerts 99% of the time I usually just look at people's metal vests before I decide if it's worth talking to the person bc there are several red flags on a vest.

- only patches from mainstream metal bands bc you don't dig deeper into what the genre has to offer
- only bands signed to Nuclear Blast bc all Nuclear Blast bands sound the same and suck
- patches from mainstream labels/mailorder brands like EMP
- patches from Wacken Open Air
- festival wrist bands sewn onto the vest
- mostly/only patches from bands that only release digital shit on bandcamp but have no real physical releases. Fuck all these bandcamp-only bands.

I am a simple man. If your vest sucks, you suck.

Oh shit, it's the platonian ideal of "metal fan"

If they say they like electro swing, they're a redditor. That's the only one that's a hill i'll die on, ever since Lone Digger by Caravan Palace showed up on that site and gained popularity, it's kind of taken the brand of "reddit music". In other words for dudes who listen to fucking shitty anime music and video game sound tracks but you ask them what genre of music they actually like this is probably the only thing they can put a name to.

Average Bladee (post The Fool) fan:

Brother, people who like later bladee don't magically hate earlier bladee. He might have fallen off a bit but singles off Crest are still good.

Anyone who says they like Eversince are just hipsters BTW, that shit is ass.

Average Lorde fan:

Fight me, Lorde is probably as good as it gets for female pop.

 

[NewnameRealEmail]

If a woman likes Ghost enough to wear a branded t-shirt she's had a poor family life and is crazy in a pro-trans left-wing way.

(Sample size: 2 but I'm still gonna generalize)

The sample size was more likely XXXL but okay bud.

On that note Evanescence. The fans are chicks who are way too old to be dressing goth but still try because they are white trash. 100% of these women believe in ghosts and think they have had close encounters. Absolutely batshit and will try to live in your house. Run.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Grateful Dead and/or Phish

Either old hippies (gay) or young stoners (bigger gay)

 

[Betonhaus]

The Wombats would be a warning song. The lyrics are often about fucked up relationships where the woman is crazy and/or a who're but the guy loves her anyways. Look up the lyrics for Turn or Pink Lemonade. And check the music video for Greek Tragedy.

 

[Pizzapopzzzzz]

as a young female,i like the altons,desmond doom! u boomers might actually like it! they r sorta underrated also so im putting u on xx but a red flag for me would b tame impala & playboy carti

 

[Pee Cola]

Women that listen to Muse are almost always cat ladies.

 

[A Grey Cat]

How is it were 4 pages in and yet nobody mentions negative xp or incelcore in general? Even the very name tells you who listens to it.

Well for starters they don't exactly sound like things a lot of people would've heard of. Are these artists or genres?, as this thread is about bands.

Isn't Negative XP just a shitpost band that's meant to intentionally piss people off anyway? That's like saying Anal Cunt is a red flag. If you're taking it at face value, you already fell for the bait.

True but for there's a fine line between taking something at face value and legit thinking it's a gospel to live by.

 

[Van Darkholme]

Better just avoid people in general who list Gorillaz as their favorite band ever.

Negative XP is certainly in on the joke. Everyone else involved, though, I'm unsure of.

A lot of those fags seem to take it awfully serious. Which is unsurprising, considering they're all mentally ill in some form or another.

 

[Jeff Boomhauer]

Anyone that unironically uses the word "stan" as in "I stan for x" (it goes with all pop culture now, but it started with music).

twentyone pilots and Billie Eilish fans are basically, "I totes have a mental illness, fuck you if you don't agree with me."

The most puzzling ones are those that simp for any new cookie-cutter Soundcloud rapper that will be forgotten about a year or so after their big break.

 

[CowPox]

If you said any of that shit to my face i would shatter your nose and leave you in a bloody heap, and that's exactly where you would stay until i swaggered away dripping confidence and inspiring others to use violence against those who they are able to etc.
