HATING bands when they become FAMOUS?????

Question

why is it that...

when a band is just starting out, we try our best to promote them, put theyre songs on our profiles, wear they're homemade tshirts, say we love them even though no one knows who they are, and wont give them the time of day?

and when they finally make theyre big break...start making money and more people listening to theyre music and they win awards...do we feel the need to stray away from them? we put them there. we helped them to success and we...hate them for it?

is it because we know that we arent the 'special' ones who know them, everyone knows them?

sorry to put them on the spot like this, but lets take my chemical romance for an example.

be honest. who listened to astro zombies when it just came out? of course you didnt, fool. unless you're gerards age or nearing. but honest, we did get to TCFSR when it just came out...and thank you for the venom was the IT song without even having a video...

and now...all the black parade...and theyre called sell outs? because theyre cd's.........SOLD OUT? we're upset about that? we're FANS! we should be happy our favourite bands are getting publicity, what they deserve! so why.........

what are youre feelings on this?

Answer 1

OMG IM EXACTLY THE SAME

I ALWAYS hate things when everyone else starts liking them

Like the Twilight "phenomenon"

I've known about it since 2005

and now these last few months of 2008 everyone knows about it!?

It makes me so MAD when I see people reading it

*assumes foetal position and shreiks*

And like that with songs?

Like.. when you know a song for like 2 years...

Then suddenly it's all over the radio "BRAND NEW SONG by BLAH BLAH BLAH"

And I'm always like it. is. not. brand. new.

Heehee I'm ranting now.

I hate it when people claim that they were the "first ones to know something" as well particularly if you KNOW you knew about it before them.

Yay (:

Answer 2

If it makes you feel any better, I have heard of chemical romance, but could not tell you one song they sing HA.  I kinda get where the hate comes from, I used to like this comedy group tripod (not exactly a band but i went to 4 of their shows)>>at the beginning they would always come out and talk to their fans, and they were nice and grateful of us.  The fourth time I saw them, I didn't expect them to remember me, but when I told them it was the fourth time (they were getting somewhat more popular) it was almost like "thats great..ok you can go now, we are here for our new fans" So i got pissed off other ppl were liking them..like they were mine haha
