Line 1:
{{trope}}
* Generally speaking, don't talk about music in polite company, with the ''possible'' exception of when you're at a concert. Everyone hates what you listen to, this goes double if you're a big fan of a [[Dead Horse Music Genre]].
* If someone asks to peek at your iPod to see what you listen to DO NOT LET THEM. There's a 75% that they will either love a band you don't listen to much or they will love a band that you think is rubbish.
** Having an iPod in the first place is enough to trigger a backdraft.
Line 13:
** Same goes for KMFDM. Best put on your running shoes beforehand.
* [[Nine Inch Nails]] vs. every other industrial band, or better yet, whether NIN is actually Industrial.
** Whether ''anything'' is "real industrial". Expect it to boil down to Throbbing Gristle fans against everyone else.
* [[Auto-Tune]] is a big source of contention amongst groups that pride musical talent or groups who like individuality or groups who like individuality with auto tune/vocoder, or groups who like no-limitation in musical growth, groups who HATE musical growth, or perfection, or just the plain useage of the term Auto-Tune over Vocoder winds people up.
** Vocoder is when it sounds like a robot, Auto Tune is simple tune checking and MOST artists use it.
* Loads of endless heated debates are within fans of the same band or solo artist regarding their 'best' and 'worst' material. Usually it comes in the following types: old material vs new material, hits vs no-hits, electric vs acoustic, analogue vs digital, this composer vs that composer, before or after 'x' member entered or left, etc.
** More often than not, asking what your favourite song is by said band or artist can be a dangerous topic. Some will insist that there is only one correct answer to that question (the fan favourite, [[Signature Song]] or not), while others will insist that choosing the signature song (fan favourite or not) is a sign of being a [[Noob]]. Others still will say that you're not a true fan if you can easily choose a single favourite.
Line 97:
** Let's not get into the flame wars over new voices, or shipping.
** The never-ending argument on whether Rin and Len are twins, mirror images, or even related at all?
** People who aren't fans that see a video of a live concert always remark in a way that will cause an eruption of hate.
** Kids react to Hatsune Miku. Both the video and discussions about it...
** Heck, even mentioning Hatsune Miku's short hair version is better than her original one...
*** Or maybe just mentioning that Hatsune Miku is better than (insert other Vocaloid here)... You're letting the Miku fags take over already.
Line 154:
* Rhapsody of Fire v. Dragonforce. Better pray you live through it.
* Never mention [[U2]], especially not their work after 1997. Or else be prepared to find loads of hate comments attacking Bono accusing him on being a tax-evading, attention-hungry narcissist (most of which are utter BS) or people moaning about The Edge effects-driven guitar work. It's simply cool and easy to hate them, sadly.
* Mentioning that you like [[Insane Clown Posse]] or any other [[Psychopathic Records]] artists anywhere on the internet will result in you being verbally crucified. Admitting to being a hardcore Juggalo and showing anything less than genius-level intellect to [[Subverted Trope|subvert]] [[Fan Dumb|the expectations of detractors]] will net you ten times worse.
** Of course, Juggalos aren't above this either. Go onto an ICP video and make even the slightest mention of not really liking the song and expect several hundred badly-spelled replies threatening to [[Disproportionate Retribution|cut your head off and burn your house down]]. On one hand, Juggalos have to deal with a lot of hate coming from all directions, so defensiveness and being a bit quick to retaliate is expected, but ''wow!''
* Say, you posted up a song parody you got off a filesharing site? Cool. Better double check if it's really by [["Weird Al" Yankovic]], though, lest you be crucified by vitriolic comments all saying that it's not really Al. [http://www.com-www.com/weirdal/notbyal.html The "Not Al Page" is your friend].
