That is one of the very few top 9 or top anything list I actually pretty much agree with.

I have to agree with the list (even though I'm guilty of owning 2 DMB albums) but why can't these abusive list-makers list their own favourite music/bands? Obviously, they're afraid of people mocking them in turn.

Grow some balls, Dustin Sussman, whoever the fark you are.

I was in Hot Topic one day and a whole family of ICP fans came in, make up and all, pushing a little pink stroller containing a baby who ALSO had make up on.

I just shook my head.

\Owns DMB albums
\\Went to concerts
\\\Not a frat boy or a hippie

 
The Icelander [TotalFark] 2009-02-24 09:21:09 AM  
Also, the list fails because it doesn't include Christian rock bands. Talk about using music to get into some girl's pants ass.

What about Jimmy Buffet fans?

fuzzwell: What about Jimmy Buffet fans?

No one notices buffet fans, until the 3 days he is in town. Then they go back to normal. So they are only temporarily annoying unlike Phish fans.

Blocked at work

Reason:
The Websense category "bands with retards for fans" is filtered.

 
Heist 2009-02-24 10:05:08 AM  
That list seems a bit heavy on the teenybopper crowd. Sure, Fall Out Boy, Tokio Hotel and Backstreet Boys are bad, but having 12-16 year old girls as fans isn't nearly as bad as anyone else on that list.

 
Roblmw241 2009-02-24 10:05:55 AM  
List fails without Sublime.

Until they park next to you at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and blast JB "music" at max volume until the park rangers come around and tell them to knock it the fark off.

What is it with tourists and Buffet?

Pearl Jam is missing from that list.

Luthiel 2009-02-24 10:12:13 AM  
Newsflash: People who are obsessive fans of a band are annoying. That goes for the 9 in TFA as well as every other band out there.

Farker Lewis Can't Lose: Three words: Juggalo Baby Funeral

I was going to say ICP should be number one, but this list nails the number one position. Skrewdriver.

However, you can always tell who's a fan of ICP. They will be white, fat, wearing enormously oversized pants, have dirty nappy white boy dreads, piercings all over their face, a bad case of acne, wallet chains, stink to high heaven, and be toting along a fat girlfriend who looks just as bad as they do.

I feel the same way about Ben Folds.

Skrewdriver? Teeny boppers? Talk about shooting fish in a barrel. I'd add Radiohead or Mars Volta fans. Most (not all, mind you) are pretentious twats.

ICP should have been #1.

I like Pearl Jam (not a huge fan), and I have a buddy who is insane about them. He'll commandeer bar juke boxes and just play pearl jam all night. He'll pay the extra money to get all his songs to the front. He accosts DJs to play pearl jam. He once offered my brother in law 10 bucks to walk away from the juke box. Granted he does all this while drunk, but everyone on our softball team wants to kill him. He's pretty normal when sober. It's weird.

Nah, Skrewdriver is in the proper place. Believe me, you don't even want to associate with the filth that likes that band.

I came in here to say this.

 
Stupor Trooper 2009-02-24 10:22:43 AM  
My vote for ICP having the worst fans; it takess me less than 30 seconds of lurking in any ICP thread (pro or con) to be appalled by the general lack of written-communication skills in their fanbase.

/Will admit I found ICP's first album funny, first time I heard it.
//Also thought the Chipmunk Christmas Song was funny the first time.

When you're in a strange town, a buffet often gives you the best combination of value and quality with a minimum of surprises. Nobody wants to pay $12 for fried chicken when they're on vacation, and then find out that way they make it in that town involves an unholy combination of spices and mayonnaise.

To be fair, "Ten" is still a really good album.

yeah those crazy bastards will sign their life away before a show. One time i saw a guy get burned a live at a show, it was intense

List was lame.

#2... back

 
FeedTheCollapse 2009-02-24 10:44:06 AM  
no one mentioning Radiohead fans? I love Radiohead, but goddamn do a lot of their fans come off as extremely ignorant about their influences and assume they are The Most Innovated Band Evar. Only a Radiohead fan could love The Eraser.


but yeah, ICP should probably be closer to #1.

Co-rrect.

Laser Floyd fans.

Yeah, but it feels like the writer took the easy way out for his #1. "What's a group of people that everyone hates? Oh yeah, Nazis!"

Oh, and Pearl Jam are awesome. Suck it, haters.

 
smeag0l 2009-02-24 10:46:32 AM  
List implies rappers have the best fan?

 
Malcolm_Sex 2009-02-24 10:48:15 AM  
I'm no skinhead but skrewdriver has some pretty bad ass songs, they play punk music its not like the lyrics matter

 
Martstar 2009-02-24 10:49:59 AM  
Can someone post the list? For some reason, my work filter thinks the Spike TV site is porn.

/I tested this at home when I first got blocked, and they have links to links of Playboy's site, or something like that.
//Don't see them doing this to Lifetime or Oxygen....

Yeah. I've not really known any obnoxious Ben Folds fans. I enjoy his music, and he's got a good following, but nothing that's terribly obnoxious by any means.

/except the farkers who still it's funny to scream "Rock this biatch!" during every second of his concerts

I work at Spencer Gifts, so I got a kick out of the inclusion of ICP on this list.

 
The Glass Dragon 2009-02-24 10:53:54 AM  
GoDawgs!: Tool?

This! Good musicians, good frontman, but their fans piss me off to no end. Tool isn't doing anything other prog bands - especially King Crimson - haven't done years before they did.

/Tool's live show is BORING
//Do NOT believe the hype

I think he basically listed people that don't read that site. Wiggers, hippies, fat chicks, gay men, and teeny-boppers don't get around to "Spike TV" too often. Can't have him bashing the customer base!

Exactly. Ever tell a "christian rocker" you think christian rock sucks? They look at you like you're the anti-Christ. I am a christian but I can't stand that lame excuse for music.

Oh I agree 100%

I'm sure he regrets putting that on Ben Folds Live.

 
bigbadideasinaction 2009-02-24 10:56:12 AM  
Came here to add:

1) Pink Floyd
2) Frank Zappa

Don't get me wrong, I like the music, I think both have done some great things, but I find the vocal base of "nothing-else-has-ever-mattered-in-music" followers to be insufferable douches, and both of the seem to be magnets for the sort. And no, quoting FZ's novelty songs ad infinitum does not make you clever or musically astute.

You make an amazingly strong case.

irockalot 2009-02-24 11:01:10 AM

I always found it funny how the band name totally describes the fan base. When they wear their clothing its like they are wearing a label for themselves
