Not all of course but some bands get a bad wrap because of this. Many people who grew up on Slipknot may well diversify and be into less mainstream music now that they are older and that can only be a good thing.

I saw them at Mayhem with DragonForce and Disturbed, and their fanbase is so...bad. I can't exactly explain it, but the vast majority of people there shop at Hot Topic for everything, drink till they puke on their shirts, and mosh like complete a-holes. The performance was good, but the whole crowd experience was horrible.
Setting that aside, my most influential person is actually Weird Al. Yeah I know....I heard like every song when I was in 4th grade then started listening to the bands he parodied. He is very talented.
