What are your guys' musical pet peeves? You know, the things that certain bands- or certain fans of certain bands- do that drive you fucking looney? Mine: -Obnoxious Nirvana fans who constantly trash Hole/Courtney Love without having ever listened to any of the albums. Especially the ones that say that Kurt wrote all of her early albums. Dumbasses. -Avril Lavigne. -Any band that ever has/ever will play Rock for Life. -Punk bands that support conservative politics. (What the fuck?!) -Indiefuckish people who will LOVE a band until it gets popular and then start hating it because they "sold out" even if the music's still the same. And the ones that whine that all the "poseurs" have co-opted their favorite band. Also the people who will like or dislike an artist/band based on their fan base. -Bands that obviously rip off other bands. It's one thing to have influences, it's another to have no originality whatsoever. There's a big difference between bands like Nirvana, who occasionally had songs that slightly resembled Pixies songs and bands like Creed whose songs are nothing but terribly done Pearl Jam rip-offs. And so on. What are yours?

I like Avril.
I can't stand people who believe Kurt Cobain is some sort of god. Yes, he and his band were quite influential on the early 90s music scene but he was nothing fantastic. I'd rather sing my praises to a wonderous musician such as Jeff Buckley.
I can't stand those that think they're cool because they "love!" dashboard confessional.
This may sound bias on my part, but I hate when people put artists such as PJ Harvey, Bjork, skulker etc down simply because they're female. I also hate when people say because they're women they only have a lesbian following, which is absolute bullshit. I also hate that people will say they're crap when they've never heard them, but because they have vaginas they aren't nearly as powerful or meaningful or wonderful as some testosterone fuelled noise.
I can't stand people such as Delta Goodrem who use medical ailments to gain sympathy from the public, in order to raise record sales and acquire massive publicity.

I'm sure I've got a few more peeves, but this always stick in my mind. Ok, I like Tool. Don't love them, but like them. I think they're pretty good. But every time I have to meet one of their fans and I use the phrase "pretty good," I damn near get my head torn off! They're the most disgustingly rabid fans around! What is with them?! If someone told me Garbage was pretty good, I'd smile cause it it would sound like a compliment to me.

Dumbasses. right on with that, or how bout the dumbasses who think she killed him? My pet peeve, all the pseudo-punk bands sprouting up every ten minutes. Ever since Good Charlotte sold a few albums, seems like every record label is chomping at the bit to sign these nasaly-head cold sounding idiots.

Nirvana fans in general....... Kurt's been dead for ten years, it's time to get over it! Same with Elvis, except he's been dead......how many years? 35? 40? Christ........
I also hate the fact that I like Britney's latest single Toxic despite the fact that I find it absolutely repulsive. The woman can't sing!! Whiny child voice.... The bloody Idol contestants can sing way better than her!

My pet peeve is people who pigeonhole you because of the music you like.

My pet peeve is people who pigeonhole you because of the music you like. Branching off from that, it really annoys how a lot of people, metalheads in particular, think it's a fact that they have the best taste in music ever and everyone else's sucks.
