I couldn't agree more. You don't have to 'prove' you're a fan with these silly list/surveys. It should be about the music, anyway. Not knowing every minuscule detail about them. And number 31 is gross. [/slight rant]
I completely agree with you, it annoys me when fans (mostly girls) come up to me and insult me because 'i didn't watch them on TV' or have there 'exclusive never been seen only a true fan' cd. I really like MCR, they are a good band that have really good songs and are brilliant at what they do but i was pushed towards disliking them more because of things like '10 rules of (whatever)' Good article by the way-
Whoa, dude, your totally right :O! Why should we be totally obesessed with a band to be a fan. I mean, sure, I may lick a picture or two. But why do we have to? I don't think the list is spam Post it, it has a point to your journal
Wow. I completely agree with you. People need to grow up and get over themselves - either you like a band or you don't. There is no "real fans" or "better fans." Either you like the music or you don't. I love my boys in MCR, but I believe you can know abosolutely nothing about them and still really enjoy their music. Ugh. Things like (that list) annoy me greatly.
