Which artists have the most obnoxious fans? Please, let's not turn this into a mudslinging campaign. If this place has taught me anything, it is that there are great fans of any artist and that diversity of opinion can thrive. But that said, there are certain artists whose fans are a big turn off for me. I'm sure you've come across the same. So, get to the list making!
Here are my contributions for now:
Again, I don't mean this to belittle any artist or anyone here. As I've stated, this place has become a haven for a great deal of friendly discussion and has, in large part, been the antithesis of what I refer to here. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

Jackson fans. Both Michael and Janet. Obsessed with sales, overflowing with apologies for crazed behaviors, incessant in their quest to make martyrs out of their favorite performers. Honestly, I can say that the Jackson fanbases have helped turn me against the artists that they support. Of course, their lackluster music hasn't helped their causes any, but I don't think I'd have the same visceral response to their images and music if the fans weren't just so ridiclious.
I love David Bowie and everything, but I don't feel the need to constantly proclaim that the 'Tonight' album was sabotaged; U2 are my absolute favorite band, but I don't feel the need to go off the rails every time someone makes a negative comment about Bono. These Jacksonites just really skeeze me out, sorry. I think it's funny that their intentions are to promote the artists they love, but they accomplish the exact opposite goal. They turn people off. I was a huge Janet fan, queuing for Jan tickets, buying every magazine with her picture on the cover;even though I've been disappointed in everything she's put out since 2001, I don't think I'd be so put off by her image/music if it wasn't for her fans proclaiming her to be the second coming. Michael is even worse. I was never as big of an MJ fan as I was of his sister; I did like him enough, though. I have every CD he put out from Off the Wall through Invincible; I kinda grew out of MJ's music, and his bizarre antics certainly didn't help my appreciation of his music out any. I think without his overzealous fanbase, though, I'd look at him in the same light I look at Britney Spears - sure she's had a break from reality, but she's amusing and harmless. The Jacksonatics, though, invoke a completely different response from me now. Honestly, that .gif that Sos posts in the Jackson discussions nowadays really expresses my reaction to the multitude of MJ related threads here. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

The Beatles: I've never come across a fanbase with bigger bullies than The Beatles. While there are many here that actually present a coherent argument and exhibit tact and grace, most of my encounters in real life have involved fans regurgitating the same recycled cliches of assumed greatness and reacting in abject horror at the mere notion that another artist may be *gasp* better. They then typically proceed to say, "But you haven't heard [insert "classic" album or song here], have you?" or "You don't know anything about music". These Beatles evangelist bullies have only made my distaste for Beatles music more intense.
AAAH FINALLY SOMEONE SEES IT!!!!! | |

I had fist fights with Prince fans. Bitches.
I spat at Tori Amos fans. Rabid. I got drunk with Madonna fans. They let me chastice them cuz they KNEW I was right. Walking in on a sleep-in, blurting out "Ooh! Look! All gay guys and 30 something mothers that are trying to relive their youth!" And then they fed me sandwiches and gave me booz. Without pissing in the booz first, as I would have. Then again, I kissed straight guys at Prince concerts. That was kinda nice. I have a big problem with Beatles haters. Closed minded twats. | |

Hated it and all of the covers. I've heard "Helter Skelter" but maybe not the Anthology jam. You patronize me with your Kylie bashing! You lucky gut, you got to have her sit on your lap and you still mock me! Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

It was the anthology series that turned me on. Before that it was goldie oldie radio, you know? But hearing that version of Across The Universe... Man... | |
