This bugs me so much!
On twitter I like to socialise with other fans of different artists but then they'll insist so and so is better than somebody else. My twitter is full of fanbase wars, I doubt the artist is even aware to be honest. I think all fanbases just need to accept that every artist has flaws as well as us. |

i have been attacked on the x factor forum for being critical of their idols when i have a good right to.What annoys me is that they think these boys are perfect when they clearly are not.The best part is that they think the boys have talent. ![]() |

It's almost as if they create cults by naming themselves and the artist is a God like figure. It's really weird and surely not healthy.
It's almost as though the youngsters have replaced following a religion with following a celebrity or artist and having them as their God. I believe the 'Monsters' are the most deranged and fanatical on the whole |

The thing is I want my artist to have flaws, I want them to appear like a human being because I feel like their music is must more genuine. If someone is sold as an ideal then they bore me to tears.
1Dareflawless JustinBiebersFutureWife It just doesn't seem relevant and for the people who are not fans of the artist to constantly see it trending I don't think it's fair. I have nothing against any artist in this respect however because it's not like they have asked for whatever is trending to trend. |

I've had the misfortune, in the past, to voice my opinion of Cher Lloyd and was subjected to a barrage of poisonous responses from crazed fans. What I hate in particular are the "you're just jealous" responses. It's one of the worst (if not *the* worst) comebacks to use and just proves that whoever uses it has no constructive argument imo.

I hate it when people personally attack others, sure have a difference of opinion but keep it about the music please. The thing is, in my experience anyway, those who have been defending their favourite artist have been far, far worse then those criticising. If I was an artists with these types of fans I would be so embarrassed. I'm also so sick and tired of people saying, 'well such and such an artists fans are just as bad.' What are you five?? Just because another fanbase is doing it does not make it right.

Who are the "Heartbeats" a fan of? I've not heard that nickname before.
Edit - I see the poster above me already explained; thanks! I feel old not knowing all the lingo any more.

I have found that the worst offenders for being unable to handle criticism of their idol are the Kylie fans. They seem to regard her as some untouchable 'sacred bird' you just CAN'T dislike.

There are a couple of individuals on here that spring to mind but I won't name names.
Put simply, nearly EVERY artist/popstar whatever that gets discussed on here have their more obsessed fans. I'm fine with criticism of my favourite stars. When it gets personal and/or turns into some sort of pathetic hate/trolling campaign, that's when I have a bit of a problem with it. There are some people who may call what they say about a given artist objective and fair criticism but it can cross the line into mean spiritedness. I see the number of people who post mean spirited things about a given artist and the number of obsessed fans who can't take any criticism about the same in number. They both are actually a small minority in the general public, but they tend to post more so they seem to be in the majority. But I think most people can be objective about an artist, and see their faults without hating them. |

Dear god. When will the fanbase-naming stop? :sleep:
Little Monsters sounds downright amazing compared to Heartbeats, Beliebers, Soldiers, Navy, Katy Kats, Crazy Cats, Lovatics, etc. etc. I mean, sheesh. What have you started, Gaga?

Rihanna Navy is a cool name....comes from her song G4L...
'Guns, girls, come on we ain't done yet, got a lot to do we ain't take over the world yet, BOOM we're an army, better yet a navy, better yet crazy, guns in the air, guns in the air'..... I love that song

Other artists have given their fans names before Gaga. Tori Amos calls hers "Ears with Little Feat" and Mariah Carey calls hers lambs. Another thing Gaga copied!
What a hack. Didn't even originate the concept of naming her fanbase. She should just give up, tbh. Who does she think she is? |
