You make it seem like if you declare yourself a fan you have to like everything an artist does, even if they the band starts producing cheese, and if you don't then you are "fake." Can't fans have a mind of their own and decide what like what they like about a band instead of the band/producer/record company saying "here like this." Do people without a lemming mentality "piss you off?"
I don't think that's the same thing. The question doesn't say 'have you stopped liking a band because of their new material' it said specifically just because more people started liking them.
