In more extreme situations, you actually get music "critics" purposely degrading, ridiculing and even insulting the music of a band simply as part of a vendetta against the fans and for the sake of flamebaiting.

How many people hate Pantera and Tool, for example, without ever even having given their music a PROPER try? Many haters should ask themselves such questions in earnest.

My two cents.
It can matter when you go to see a band at a show and their fans can totally ruin it. Main reason I stopped going to hardcore shows.
