Just wondering what your thoughts are on this, since this is a remark a cousin of mine made some time ago. Now, I certainly don't think that Prince fans are part of a cult (since I HATE stereotyping), but perhaps to an outsider, who is not into Prince's music, we are. What are your thoughts on this?

Some Prince fans are similar to followers in a cult. But there are plenty of us who not only recognize, but will point out Prince's flaws.

vainandy said:

Definitely true. Some folks think that Prince can do no wrong, but there are others who are not that way.

And the org is the only place I've seen where people speak their minds so freely.

vainandy said:

That's why I love the org, the diversity of opinions on here.

Yes, we are a cult.

Hey, Lothan.

Susannah, actually. From Crystal Ball. The word "Orger" has definately taken on a negative stereotype for the past few years. For instance, on the messageboard on Okayplayer.com, if you defend Prince, you're called an "Orger", meaning you're a Prince ass kisser, which of course as we know is total bullshit, because there are many MANY people here on the Org that don't like everything Prince has done. But it's sorta too late. "Orgers" have been pegged as brainwashed, cult members.

Jezebel said:

It's Susannah on that track? Thanks for the headsup, never knew that. It's sad that Okayplayer stereotypes everybody who comes to Prince's defense as an orger. As you said, we don't always like everything that Prince has done, and people on here are not shy about expressing their opinions.

This psychodelicide character needs to be removed before she exposes us. Moderators: please begin the extermination.

ConsciousContact said:

Why, I'm just asking an honest question.

psychodelicide said:

Please do not bring your intrusive questions here. Moderators, in here now please.

ConsciousContact said:

And who died and made you my boss, hmm? I can post whatever I like in here, if you don't like what I have to say, then don't bother posting on my thread. Just keep moving. It's as simple as that.

psychodelicide said:

Hello beautiful.

Lothan said:

Hey girl, how are ya?

Cult is a strong word. Prince fans are not confined to those implications. Whether you are JW, Judeo-Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, or in limbo, I believe we gather nearby to show our appreciation and support for his career.

Tame said:

I agree, cult definitely is a strong word, and one that I totally disagree with.

nope.. we r just a part of everyday people..
