You do have a point, but i don't agree with your last sentence.
In what way are DT/Sym-X worse than the bands mentioned?
Comparing here doesn't work all that well...they don't sound the same at all.
Just because they have annoying fanbois doesn't make them bad in any way.
I actually think they are really great...just that, some of the ppl who listen to them should check out other stuff too.

How in the **** can anyone say they take pride in liking that band. Even if the music wasn't cheesy and didn't suck complete ass, how could you like a band with that kind of image....

Stupid statement.

And then of course you always find yourself in stupid arguments with them, like over why John Petrucci is not the best guitarist of all time.
I mean liking it is one thing, but you have a lot of tech skill junkies who think liking Dream Theater and Symphony X makes them sophisticated music scholars.

Just dissing them bcuz they are cheesy is as bad as the fans themselves. To be fair though, sym-x aren't all that cheesy...just some parts of their songs might seem cheesy.
Sure, they might have annoying fans here and there(and tbh, i know only annoying DT fans...Rarely do i hear Sym-X having annoying fans).
Also, beeing cheesy ain't all that bad. Ever heard of rhapsody? You might get annoyed if you keep listening to them, but check them out every now and then and you'll definitely like them. They really have perfected the art of cheesiness!
Anyways, point being, you can enjoy listening to them as well as others of the same genre like fates warning, queensryche, Ayreon, King's-X etcetc.
Just because they have annoying fans isn't a valid reason to diss them. If you don't like them, then thats your preference but labeling them as "not so good" or "sh!tty" is just stupid.
