WHY R PRINCE FANS SO WEIRD?

I mean i find Prince's fans so weird, epecially some of the people i've seen on the .org and on npgmc. They all seem to hang around together and wear his pictures etc and try to look like him. Its very freaky. U get the obsessives that try to get everything he's ever done and then they suppress their own individuality by wearing symbols and tatoos.
I mean Prince is a great person sure, but surely theres a limit to how healthy any repect and admiration is?I find the whole fam community a bit incestuous.
If anyone else thinks this, please reply and then we can form our own little community but with a bit of added sense!

I agree that sometimes I see some weird stuff here and the NPGMC messages look very cultish written in some weird code.I don't want to offend anyone by picking on their post topics.


I would admit I am obsessive when it come to collecting outtakes however as I have always stated I don't care who he dates, what he wears, who he prays to!!!!!

I am all about THE MUSIC AND THE MUSICIAN>>>

I'm weird, but being a Prince fan has precious little to do with it.

It's because Prince's music shoots craze rays into your brain. That's why I wrap my head in tin foil before I listen to him.

You don't have to be a Prince fan to be weird, but you certainly have to be weird to be a Prince fan.

freaker, have you ever heard of anime cosplay conventions? if you haven't, it's basically sorta like a costume party...folks come dressed up as their fave anime/manga character. y'heard me right--cats dressin up and lookin like they came straight outta a page from ranma 1/2. outlandish things--folks spend tons of money to dress up like that, but ya know what?

they do it all outta love for the genre. same goes with prince fans--fuck, any fanbase of almost any given thing have fans which do that...tattoos, collectin stuff, what-have-you. and another thing: some, not all. making sweeping generalizations like you have ain't helpin any. every single prince fan/friend/freek/fam/whoever don't collect stuff, have a p-related tat, and are totally obsessed with the cat and think that he's the living end. believe it or not, there are TONS of folks within the prince fan community who have good heads on their shoulders and know that the world don't revolve around princey. never has and never will.

and uhhh, everydamnbody has a quirk. ain't no such thing as normalcy, so you may as well toss out that 'prince fans are weird' bit right out the window.

I mean Prince is a great person sure, but surely theres a limit to how healthy any repect and admiration is?I find the whole fam community a bit incestuous.

nice idea, but you know what? if you were to create your own 'sensible' community you still gon' have people buttin heads. sure, your community would have one purpose which brings ya'll together, but folks have different personalities, fan levels, quirks, etc. that utopitarian way of thinkin just ain't gon' happen. sorry, charlie.

as for your 'incestuous' comment, you ain't made yourself too clear on that. how is it incestuous?

Hmmm..."fans" of ANYONE,ANYTHING often times are given to becoming obsessed with her/him, it. Prince is a persona that seems to attract devotion from a fairly wide swath of folks. For most of the people who are "obsessed", believe this, it just happens to be Prince...and if they get non-functional in their lives because of their devotion to him, they are simply no different from people who are obsessed with anything else, despite their claims to the contrary. Princeheads, Deadheads, and Cheeseheads are the same, the only difference is the object.

And, hey, if that's where they are...COOL. Just hope that you aren't ever their supervisor and you have give them a pink slip...they might show up at the workplace with a
O)+> shaped dagger and cut your heart out, LOL!

Guys and gals, I'm quite touched by your intelligent responses which have a lot of truth and accuracy. That in itself has proved my argument wrong, you're not so weird as to be able to be rational and sensbile.
Yes it is a bit of a case of the pot calling the kettle black or to be politically correct a sheet and a pillowcase etc.

I guess i must be a bit crazy too to hang around here, but hey its a pretty good site, and so is the npgmc apart from its censorious nature.

Nice 2 meet u all!
