PrintableSerious said: Dave1992 said: is a fam "too much" or do i simply need 2 stick around for some time until i can call myself one?  A fam is someone who loves and defends every little thing Prince ever did and thinks he can do no wrong. No other musician should be even mentioned in the same sentence as they are all just copying him anyway. A fam may even report youtube videos , copyrighted pictures etc. to the "purple police" or become vegan and a Jehova's witness just because Prince has gone this road  .i do defend prince a lot, although id never join the JW or something like that without thinking for myself first. but wasnt it prince that actually invented the term "fam" so we wouldnt call us fans anymore, because it stands for fanatic? | |

Yeah, but then the fanatics embraced the term in a scary way and separated themselves from the rest of us...

Hang around here 4 a while... U'll see the difference. Oh, and Welcome! i read lots and lots of posts even before i started posting myself and i do get what u mean. i was just curious about how prince fans(?  ) actually behave and see his music.
i think i just used that term because most of the other people my age here dont know anything about their "favourite artist" and music overall. thats probably what makes me think that i have 2 show even more that i do care about the music and that i do feel it and that im not the "i love purple rain because that songs sooooo beautiful! who wrote that btw..?" type of 16-year-old. maybe im just 2 desperate trying 2 show that im serious, but im still young so thats an excuse  | |

Call yourself what you want to. You know how much of a fan or fam you are. I will say, some people here will try and rip you a new one for calling yourself a "fam" and that's part of why orgers are giving you a warning about calling yourself that. Ignorance and stupidity has no bounds on this site but I think you've been here long enough to know this. As long as you are having fun with Prince's music and you're having fun here, that's the most important thing. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

I'm Afican American and a Senior in highschool. I'm going to major in Bio and hopefully black out for 8 years and wake up a surgeon.
I also like to draw...make comics and graphic novels. You know, cartoon shit...I'd rather be a comic book author than a surgeon...but my family might disown me. ( )
I'm also learning to play guitar and I like to write music, I'm even taking a music theory course in school. | |

with all the brains and medical assistance the orgers have over here, i think we can all sleep safely in our beds, in the knowledge that if a crisis occurs we can get help and answers right here ! (or at least a kindly word or 2) i guess that's what a 'community' is all about right ? respect 2 all of u.
as 4 me; male,english,hetro,english father/burmese mother,company director/manager, (hate it tho'),24years a fan,late thirties (very late, not that i have a complex or anything!!!), i'm the youngest of 6 kids by a clear 10 years so have been spoilt by family love my whole life, which means a lot. like a few others, i kinda 'lurked' both the org and housequake 4 a long time b4 deciding that sometimes it's better 2 b on the inside lookin out than the outside lookin in.(maximum security prison being an obvious exception 2 this saying of course !) sorry, i tend 2 do that.. ok, i'll go then.. | |

nurseV said: I know we all love Prince and his music-that's why we frequent this place and engage in some nice discussions
 But I'm sure the Org and Prince wouldn't mind taking a backseat for a minute so that we can get to know each other better. So What's Ur Career? Do you have a college degree or two ? Are you married, straight, gay? African-American, White, Hispanic, Asian-whatever? Do you think just by revealing this info it's to personal? Do you really give a shit?
Well I'll be the guinea pig and start: I'm a 36 year old African-American female whose divorced (thank God!!! ) and I have a teenage son of my life. I have a four year college degree working on a Master's and I have a nursing license-see bet you didn't think I was a real nurse Okay Ur turn:Wrong forum It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
