The Top Ten Most Infuriating Music Fans Ever

lucifer_sam · 06-05-2009, 01:14 AM

Alright, so it's been a while since i pissed a bunch of people off, i figured that it's high time i take a swing at someone else.

Instead of going the conventional route and listing some bands i could do without and having people yell at me for offending their taste and being an idiot and not knowing what i was talking about, why not go right to the source: the fans themselves.

I'm sure you all know the odd fucker that bugs you about music for some reason--there may be a few from this site that probably do it to you (myself included). Well, i'm going to do my best to rip on the idiots that really piss me off (not just the ones here) maybe a story to explain why these guys irk me so.

i hope you enjoy.

10. Beatles fans

Consider this a sign of peace for how low these shitholes are on this list.

I’m sure we’re all accustomed to the occasional Beatles fanatic, the guy that mumbles on incoherently about how they were at the vanguard of every movement from prog rock to proto punk. He’ll explain that Lennon and McCartney weren’t just two songwriters, they were two GENIUSES, while Harrison was an amazing guitarist and Ringo – well, you know it, he’s a really underrated drummer. He won’t understand why you haven’t listened to Revolver thirty times yet or bought a box set of their works in the last three weeks. And regardless of how obviously disinterested you might be he’ll push every one of their farts into your face, no matter how dull or incendiary those escaping whiffs of idiocy are. Want to know how deep the shitheads dive?

I’ll tell you. I was over my friend’s place one lazy weekend just hanging out with a few girls, listening to some music and trying to stave off sobriety for another day. At the time we just had some laid back stuff playing, probably Morcheeba or something of the like. A dude I recently met came into the apartment to bum alcohol and just hang out with us. About five minutes in he turns to me to explain that my music ‘wasn’t party music.’ Okay, so what? Everyone’s allowed their own preferences, and it wasn’t my place so I took it off like a gentlemen. The guy leaves and comes back in, making a playlist consisting solely of the Beatles. Solid party music indeed.

He then proceeded to spend no less than four hours lecturing me on why the Beatles were the greatest band in the world.

Excuse me if I don’t fucking care.

I hope you'll be including an entry on how fucking annoying Phish/Widespread Panic/String Cheese Incident/etc. fans are. People, I know you like to imagine that these bands are are crazy and edgy and unique but I'm here to tell you they aren't. They're bland as hell and are the kind of thing boring people listen to in an effort to seem interesting. Oh wow, you smoke pot? Whoopdie fucking doo. So does everybody else. It's like defining your taste in music by the fact that you eat french fries.

i like Phish, and i guess you can call me a fan, but i don't go around saying or doing stuff like that you mentioned. honestly, i enjoy their albums more than their live shows at times, cause while i do like a good jam session, they really overdo it.

and i can say that they're very proficient musically. Trey Anastsio is a damn good and underrated guitarist

Not sure if I agree with the part about him being underrated because I feel like he gets a lot of praise but otherwise I'm with you. I'm not trying to say all Phish fans are like what I described at all but rather that there's this demographic of people out there who basically only listen to bands like Phish, Widespread Panic and String Cheese Incident and those people are annoying as hell.

I've never heard of either of those 3 bands, but just giving a brief look at their wikipedia pages, they all seem to have the thing in common that they all have jam and progressive stuck somewhere within the list of genres used to describe them, and they all play a variety of genres. They look like pretty good bands, just judging from the variety of music they play.

I hate trying to show someone new music and they go and change it half way through the first or second song. Nice rant dude.
