* That famous [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]] song with the long guitar solo? It's called Free Bird, not Freebird. Diehard Skynyrd fans
* Luca Turilli's first album is 'King of the Nordic Twilight'. The tenth track on said album is 'Kings of the Nordic Twilight'. Remember this if you do not wish to be set on fire.
* Quiet Riot's song "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)", or "Bang Your Head (Metal Health)". Calling it just "Bang Your Head" is [[Tempting Fate]].
* Metalcore (or any word with "-core" in it except maybe grindcore) is not considered '''metal'''. It's best not to call metalcore metal on a metal forum. On second thought, it's best not to mention metalcore at all. There is also quite a bit of rivalry between fans of the two almost entirely different genres named "power metal", one of which was formed in America in the early '80s, the other of which arose in Germany several years later.
* Groundlessly bashing [[Hideto Matsumoto|hide]] or Munetaka Higuchi or Jasmine You or anyone else who is dead on pretty much any jrock community in general is often seen as trolling or shit-stirring behavior. You ''might'' get away with trashing poor Soichiro Umemura, but most likely doing so will bring out the one Tokyo Yankees fan still around to start the [[Flame War]].
** Neither hide's
*
▲Neither hide's and Jasmine's deaths have an exact official cause. hide's may have been an accident, or it may have been suicide—he can't tell us so we'll never know. Jasmine definitely died of an illness, but the exact illness was never specified. So, it's common for people to speculate, and sensible guesses are often sort of tolerated. But sometimes people come out with really, genuinely silly, often downright offensive [[Epileptic Trees]] such as "hide killed himself just to piss off Yoshiki" or "Hizaki killed Jasmine You". These are the people who will end up in trouble, and it serves them right, really.
* Refer to [[Pink Floyd]] as "[[I Am Not Shazam|he]]" and prepare to be laughed at.
▲* Calling all electronic music "techno" will earn you death in some circles. It's only swift if you're lucky.

{{quote|Oh by the way, which one's Pink?}}
** And later ''[[The Wall]]'' was sort of written about the life of a character named Pink.
* You're unlikely to be slaughtered for it, but expect some groans, sighs and face-palms if you walk onto a forum/comments page/website/whatever for a Visual Kei band or song and ask something along the lines of "Are they all men?" or "Such-and-such is a woman, right?" Hardly anyone finds these questions bad in their own right, it's just that they get asked so many times that people get fed up with having to answer them.

*
* If you're discussing [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] with any serious classical fan, don't make the mistake of mentioning how Salieri poisoned him. ''[[Amadeus]]'' plays ''quite'' fast and loose with historical fact; it was never intended to be a Mozart biopic so much as just the film of Shaffer's play. Pretty much no reputable Mozart scholar out there thinks Salieri poisoned him or plotted against him, and in fact, the two men actually got along quite well and greatly respected each other. Salieri also had nothing to do with either the commission for or the completion of Mozart's ''Requiem''. And by the way, Salieri wasn't the talentless hack portrayed in the movie. In fact, he taught Beethoven ''and'' Schubert along with being one of the most successful composers of ''his'' time (even if its popularity died down after his death).

* Don't call into a classic rock station and request "[[The Who]]'s Teenage Wasteland". Not only will they not play it, but they may come to your house and work you over.
*
*
* Some people think "Down with the Sickness" by [[Disturbed]] is simply called "Sickness" (possibly with a "the" added). Disturbed fans aren't happy about it.
** Also, the final track on the same album is "Meaning of Life" despite many who might claim it's called "Psycho".
* Eve of Destiny are Goth. Not Visual Kei. [[Serious Business|This point is nowhere near as trivial as it seems]]. Anyone who calls
* Many fans of Canadian band
* A rare case of [[Canon]] Gannon Banning ''itself:'' The band name '[[Led Zeppelin]]' is in fact Gannon preemptively Banning itself from Americans pronouncing 'Lead' 'Leed'.
** Also, Led Zeppelin is a
** Though causal fans might take a bit of ribbing if they say "Zo-so" instead of
** [[Led Zeppelin]]'s fourth album does not have a title. Call it "the fourth album" or "the untitled album", and you should be fine. In some circles, calling it "Led Zeppelin IV" will give you away as only a casual fan. Call it "the Hermit Album," "the one with 'Stairway to Heaven'" or "Zoso" and you will be held beneath contempt.
* ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]].'' Serious opera fans will slaughter you if you say ''Phantom'' is the last opera you saw.
** Same thing if you tell an old school ''Phantom'' fan that you just loved the 2004 movie or the stage sequel.
** Naming John Williams as your favorite "modern music" composer is likely to get you Gannon Banned by most serious classical music fans on its own. Same with Danny Elfman, or Andrew Lloyd Webber, or any modern film/Broadway composer, but John Williams is a huge [[Berserk Button]] since so much of his music is directly-copied from, if not ''heavily'' influenced by, older works.
* Do
* If you refer to a well-known song, especially one involved in [[Memetic Mutation]], by its catchiest lyric, there is a very good chance someone will swoop in and insist you refer to it by the "proper title", which is usually much less known and thus does a poorer job of conveying which song you're talking about.
* Spelling [[Metallica]] as "Mettalica" won't get a nice reaction.
* Referring to any member of the [[Backstreet Boys]] ''except'' Kevin Richardson as a "former Backstreet Boy" is an instant [[Berserk Button]] trigger for BSB fans.
* Never
* ''[[DragonForce]]'''s [[That One Level|famed song from]] [[Guitar Hero]] is "Through The Fire And Flames". "Through The Fire And ''The'' Flames" is a lyric from said song. Also, ZP was ZP's actual first name, not initials.
* On the Band Geek side: Gorramnit, people, trumpets are NOT the awesome ones with the slides!!
* It's [[Beatles]], not "Beetles"! (This troper recalls an article in his high school newspaper about George Harrison's death - the student who wrote the article
** If you don't know who wrote the song, you probably shouldn't guess. Saying something like "I love 'Here Comes the Sun'! It's my favorite song by Lennon" (or any other song with the incorrect songwriter) could earn you ridicule from a die-hard fan.
* Do not ever call the group [[Gorillaz]] "Gorllias", or even worse, "The Gorillas".
* Attempting to define [[Enter Shikari]] as anything at all will generally cause backlash from the fans as they are considered to be in no genre in particular, though naming particular genres present in particular songs is certainly acceptable. This can be disregarded if the term being used is non-serious or affection in nature (Entershikaricore)
* Imply that [[Lady Gaga]] isn't as original as her fans think she is, or that her music isn't the ultimate expression of pop music greatness, in the presence of her fans and you'd better have your life insurance paid up. They might even come after your family...
