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.

[Unpalatable]

Huge fans of whiny male vocalist acts like Coldplay, Muse, NIN, or Radiohead have a screw loose. They can't wait to share their ever-expanding collection of mental disorders and chronically try to make themselves the center of attention.

I have a sister who likes 2/4 of the bands listed on this, lord help me.

You guys don't get it, Tool wrote a song in the macaroni sequence

 

[pork and beans]

Coldplay, Muse, NIN, or Radiohead

One of these is not like the others If there was a wet towel bland stale bread award it would go to Coldplay listeners


FKA Twigs fans are insufferable because they act like they are listening to this weird deep unknown experimental genius when it’s all mildly tryhard pop music. Why the pretenses…?

Coldplay is just what you listen to before you discover Linking Park.

>Yes I like NewJeans
Run. Run fast as possible, don't look back. Tokkis are fucking deranged and will meltdown over the littlest things. Never have I seen a fandom that worships the manager, especially when MHJ is fucked as they are, and tries threatening to murder the judge of the NewJeans case.

Are there men that unironically proclaim this in real life? I can understand women saying they like New Jeans, but it’s a little strange to hear that from a man.

be very cautious around Taylor Swift fans

A good friend of mine went through a Swiftie phase. It's ramping down, but yeah. I don't have many good things to say about hardline Swifties. They tend to be "troubled".

Troubled is putting it mildly.

The Swiftie I've known for the longest time is also heavily schizophrenic and projects all of that onto Taylor Swift. Even said that she'd vote Kamala because Taylor Swift did it.

Same Swiftie has memorized every tiny single detail about Taylor's life, including what outfits she has worn during concerts. Friends and I joke around about it but personally I think it's exceedingly creepy and very sad.

Kendrick Lamar, especially after not like us.

just stop being a fan and start enjoying music

Kanye fans. They're the only people who are potentially more retarded and out of touch with reality than him.

Also black metal. I swear it's like 50/50 that they're a neo nazi loser or an insufferable pretentious douchebag that doesn't know shit about music yet never shuts up about how much everyone else's musical taste sucks.

 

[No-Eyed Square Guy]

Kanye fans. They're the only people who are potentially more retarded and out of touch with reality than him.

I used to distrust Kanye fans because for more than a decade the music press demanded that everybody worship him. Anyone who obeyed is a sucker.
His records are pretty good though. Decreasingly so, but that's normal.

 

[Jimmy Hopkins]

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

 

[Adolf Kitler]

If you listen to good old French House music from artists like Daft Punk, Cassius, Le Knight Club, Thomas Bagalter, etc... you're automatically my friend.

 

[Franz Joseph]

I use call them Hot Topic bands.

 

[Kamway]

All the obvious names have been mentioned, but I think it can be even more telling what bands someone hates.
I've only known 2 people who actually hated Linkin Park. Both of them were world record degenerates who ended up trooning out.
To be clear I'm not talking about casual dislike or indifference, they would go out of their way to bring it up for no reason.

 

[RaunchyVibes]

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.

 

[Samuel Fuller]

Dave Matthews Band

I was about to ask what's wrong with this, glad I just have dementia

Sleep Token. It's either BPD chicks who have memorised a load of therapy-speak and disparage anyone they have ever been friends or in a relationship with as some kind of abuser or the kind of dude who would fuck a chick like that, so either a simp or a rapist.

There's some red flag bands who make good music, like Tool. Sleep Token are not one of those bands. Their music is really fucking boring and a waste of what are clearly talented musicians. But it's all image and no substance. Ghost are like that too, but at least Ghost have a sort of silly self-aware camp to them and some fun tunes. Sleep Token are like Ghost with all the fun drained out. It's all so psuedo-deep and inauthentic, which is why they attract people who want to seem like they're in touch with their inner selves and into Buhddism and shit but are actually a feral ball of personality disorders and drama.
