I appreciate all fans and supporters of music of all genres, but the kind of music fans that bother me are the ones who support punk rock & so called glam bands. It is my opinion that they have the most pretentious and evil fans ever. Just my opinion, and I have the right to rant about it. What makes them pretentious is that they pretend something that they are not or being expressive of their self importance, things like that. The fans of the punk rock and glam genre, can be just as ego driven and childish as the bands themselves can be. Which to me is no surprise that they act this way ’cause a lot of them are hard partiers. Either alcoholics or drug addicts. Pretty sad since most of them are adults who forgot how to grow up. They think they’re special people. Dressing up to fit the genre of music, and all that stuff. Weird hairdo, and tattoos. They also try to be funny in social networking sites with all their friends ’cause they’re bored losers with nothing to do.
Again, I appreciate all fans supporting music, but not all of them are cool people. And that’s the point of my post. Some music fans can be cool people, you just gotta find the right ones. Fans of punk and glam rock, love the attention they get ’cause they just want to amuse their favorite band that they support. This post is not aimed at anyone or any band in particular. I just had to be real about this. This post might ruffle some feathers a little bit, but it had to be said.

It exists in every genre of music Kev, even Opera! And yes I’ve experienced good and bad attitudes in all genres of rock music. Just support the bands you like, and ignore the bands you hate. You in a band ?
Nope, but I want to be. Someday, I’d like to get my own band going. For now I just play acoustic solo like I’ve had been doing for the past 10 years or so.
I know pretentious fans exist in all genres, sure. Was just ranting a bit. No hard feelings on anything.
It’s just that punk and heavier rock fans are a bit wild.

I think the more appropriate word I’m looking for, that they are hipsters. People who obsess with the punk scene and try to look and act like it, there for, being pretentious. I think that’s what I’m trying to talk about here.
