Like for example someone who calls themself a die hard Lynyrd Skynyrd fan and only knows the song Sweet Home Alabama. Or a self proclaimed lifelong AC/DC fan that only knows You Shook Me All Night Long and Highway to He**. It just gets annoying to see people like that.

Yeah, my friend who says she's a Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Metallica fan yet she doesn't know who Eddie is, she can't name a single song by Iron Maiden, and she can't name a single album by Iron Maiden or Megadeth.

Yeah, I've met some of those people. Some of them are innocent about it so it doesn't bother me as much as say an elitist who does this.

That doesn't annoy me as much as the people who will call someone a "poser" just because they play Guitar Hero.

Yes, it can be quite annoying. But I just try to ignore them and concentrate on my own appreciation for the band.

Tell her to stop being a poserish, and give her some knowledge of the music if she really enjoys it. Its better to teach people about the music instead of shunning them away, thus preventing stereotypes little by little at least.

Yeah that gets annoying too. That'd be the same as calling someone a poser for playing a sports game.

Like for example a self proclaimed lifelong AC/DC fan that only knows You Shook Me All Night Long .PsychoT4Prez

I made an experiment, which had the following results: most of the people I know have heard the song, but don't know it's by AC/DC.

I asked her questions about Iron Maiden (cool sig by the way) she got them all wrong and I gave her the answers to each question. (Who Eddie is, first album, etc.)

I get annoyed with death metal posers. Me and my friends find it a funny joke to just call every death metal poser we see a scene kid. We've pissed some people off with it for fun. I have to say it was hilarious. Only those who know what im talking about will find it funny.

The only people I've ever run into like that are the people who claim to be DragonForce fans because they heard Through the Fire and the Flames off of Guitar Hero 3 and think it's the coolest song ever. And they only annoy me because they all try and talk to me about how awesome the song is because I'm a DragonForce fan, even though I don't even like that song.

Did they claim they were fans of actual Death Metal bands, or were they just fans of deathcore or some other such crap?

If you met any of the scene kids around the SF bay area where I live, You'd understand in about 5 minutes but yea, they're all Deathcore fans who say they love brutal music and cant even name anything. I can't wait for the scene to die. Take your crummy over used breakdowns back, and hardcore dancing makes you look like a jack ass:x

That reminds me of one of my friends. I looked through his Ipod and he only had Guitar Hero songs from nearly every band.

It's the exact opposite for me. People who like a band but only know 1 or 2 songs, that's their business. But the wierdos who obsess about a band, and talk about them the way regular people talk about their favourite sports team, annoy me. Like those people who like Megadeth and thus automatically hate Metallica because of the friction between the bands, or vice versa. I'm thinking "It's not sports, it's music, get over yourself". I had a mate who would go all fanboy on me about some band or singer compared to one I would like, and I was like "who cares?" It's just a band. These elitist types make CONSOLE FANBOYS look rational. And that's something. :D

It bothers me more when someone says they like a band just to agree with me, when it's clear they have no idea who that band is.

I also dislike people who claim to be able to play guitar when really they only hit 5 buttons on Guitar Hero.

I knew a person who claimed to be a fan of several bands I liked, so I was ask what songs she liked from so and so bands. Kept getting "haven't heard it." Apparently she was a big fan of those bands because of her... headbangers ball cds... Lame.

It doesn't matter to me, I don't see why anyone's interest in music is important. If they pretend to be a fan of a band, then it doesn't bother me, because who is a fan of what band is of no importance.

To be fair though once you've heard one Dragonforce song you've pretty much heard them all.

I know alot of you guys hate hip-hop but 97% of Lil Wayne fans are biggest posers you'll ever met. Most these kids say there hip-hop fans but the only they say is "yo weezy is tha best rapper alive." Not really hating on him but he's fans are terrible.
