For me, it has to be Beyonce. I love her music and I'm sure she's a nice lady, but some of her fans can get so aggressive and arrogant over her successes that it makes me cringe. Whereas Lady Gaga fans can appreciate their artist's success, I never see them lambasting other acts. Beyonce's fans, however, seem to constantly viciously belittle Rihanna, Ciara, Keri Hilson etc like there's no tomorrow. There's a guy on YouTube called Makael who is a prime example of this.

Also, I agree with Beyonce fans, they're a bit wild sometimes, but that may just be the fact that I think she's completely over-rated.
And... Britney fans.:o Well, not as much as say, 6 years ago, but there's still a devout following of about 4 million people that will eat you if you express a negative opinion on Ms. Spears.
And how can I forget about The Saturdays!?:eek: I best leave that rock unturned!
The worst is snobby Rock/Country/Metal fans who think anything outside their genre of choice is beneath them and not "real" music. I'm pretty sure they're only trying to make up for their lack of personality though, so it's not too hard to ignore.
Lady GaGa
Britney Spears
Madonna
Michael Jackson
JLS
Gaga fans (Monsters) are the biggest reason why i can't get myself 'into' Gaga's music (that and i personally find ehr music repetetive). They're agressive and pit her against icons when there's no need. Credit where it's due of course but please the comparisons are stupid! , DONT compare with Britney, DONT compare with Xtina, DONT compare with Bjork, DONT compare with Grace Jones, DONT compare to Gwen Stefani and DEEEFINATELY DONT compare to Madonna! DELUSIONAL! :mad:
Saturdays/Sugababes and Girls Aloud fans are always out to attack (usually against each other) and 'create rifts' really unnecessary.
Ladies, gentlemen and hermaphrodites, Josh is proof that all Madonna fans are the sanest of the bunch.
no i am insane in the membrane
but then again...who is normal??
And they mocked Lily Allen when she had her miscarriage because she insulted Justin Bieber.
The Justin Bieber fans are crazy obessive about him, it's actually weird. Even though I'm a fan of MJ, some of the fans are totally deluded, and a little bit scary.
There was one point where it was annoying when some Lady GaGa stans would label anyone who wore something 'different' as trying to copy her.
Going to an Oasis gig was more dangerous than bungee jumping with lead weights strapped to your back. And only slightly less painfull.
Do they? There are loads of Saturdays fans at my university and I don't think they get angry at Sugababes or GA fans (and they know I'm also a Sugababes fan). Maybe it depends on the people?
Anyway I agree about Beiber's fanbase being one of the worst.
worst fanbase?
oh dear, oh dear.
A lot of (not all!!) Leona fans seriously can't handle it if you comment that you don't like her voice. Then you get a herd of them slagging you off for having an opinion. Many of her fans are ridiculous.
Perhaps that happened a lot at first, but most of them seem to have calmed down since then. I mean, when was the last time someone said any of those things on this forum? Sure, there are many elsewhere, but they really aren't any worse than any other big popstar's fans - most people just don't want to believe it. Lady G herself is far worse than her fans when it comes to doing and saying silly things. Oh and I HATE the 'little monsters' thing she goes on about.
I think people just love taking it out on her fans to give themselves another stick to bash her with.
And with you seemingly being a hardcore, protective Madonna fan, of course you're inclined to dislike Gaga.
the comparisons to other artists are EVERYWHERE! and it's something that really pisses me off.
and i am not against Gaga! as i too bought The Fame WAAAY back in Jan '09 but it hasn't stuck with me since but that's MY view. and the comparisons are stupid considering she's just started! GRRRRRRRR :mad:
and i am not 'protective' of Madonna, she is a truely inspiring artist, she's got me through shitty times and inspired me in so many ways...that is all!
am i interested in how Gaga wil develop.....YES....will i buy Born This Way....MAYBE...do i find her overrated/.....TOTALLY....do i like the little monsters thing.....NO!
simples
And 1st/2nd/3rd generation Sugababes fans who won't accept the new lineup. They're pretty annoying too.
I actually think Gaga is brilliant, amazing pop songs but by god do her fans put me a bit off her.
Utterly obsessed, massively attack anyone they see as competition and delusional in that they state she's completely origianal and they're utter hypocrites.
Example:
Christina Aguilera's Not Myself Tonight video. The ignorant stupid fans attacked her loads saying she's just copying Gaga. Some Christona fan points out she looks hot unlike Gaga. Gaga fans then reply Gaga isn't about sex appeal but orginality.
Some one the points out all gaga has done is rip off Madonna. Same fan then replies that Madonna's old 9v childish) and that gaga is hotter than Madonna :rolleyes:
I also hate the 'Little Monsters' thing - just vile.
It's for sad obsessive people who have no idenity of their own and have the weird persona.
It's just sickening.
In short:
I LOATHE mad Gaga fans. Anyone referring to themself as a little monster or spouting her quotes thinking they're so deep should be shot. :mad:
But I do love Gaga and think she's makes Brilliant pop records
On here, for instance, I can't even remember the last time I read an utterly clueless Gaga-devoting post. More often than not it's militant non-fans making the ridiculous contributions.
I guess the misconception is in place because she's currently got the most active fan base and within that, you always have a slightly...unhinged...minority who make the most noise.
Going back to here, the regular Gaga fan posters are all pretty sensible with very minimal drama unless provoked by mindless "hating".
