This is after all a forum for discussion , I don't criticise people for the bands they listen to , I just criticise the bands they listen to.Hell I even criticise bands I enjoy. And most of the hostility I have come across comes from classic rock fans who churn out the same 'You can't say that , it's a classic' mantra or words to that effect.
Indie fans are nowhere near as bad as that because if you say that you hate a band they like 2 months later they'll agree with you.
This isn't me labelling people , just observations I have made.

Thats one thing that annoys me. And I still find them to be generally more obnoxious than classic rock fans, who don't get me wrong, can be very obnoxious.
The most interest thing I find about indie fans is that when I actually agree with them on something, they will conveniently change their opinion over time. Almost as if they are just shaping their music tastes and forcing themselves to be as different from "the mainstream kids" as much as possible.
