"You like *song/genre/band* so your whole music taste is trash."
    
Elitists who insist that you can't like a certain genre if you like a *insert genre*

Musical snobs who insist that only certain types of vocals can be good

"Edm is for people who have no musical talent."

Being short at a concert!

Disrespectful fans at concerts; people who get super aggressive in most pits, people who try to mosh with people who don't want to, people who try to squeeze up to the front when you and a few others have been there first and you literally have to fight them to keep your spot, obnoxious drunks, etc. Have concert etiquette people.

People who try to tell you you're not a real fan if you can't name every song by certain bands and stuff like that.

The metal elitists are by far the worst

Oh yeah, like I love metal it's my favorite but god forbid I mention that I like county and pop too. >.>

× Not only that but they will also hate on you for liking certain sub genres of metal that they deem as being "poser metal"

Oh yeah, that's pretty annoying too. Mauser mentioned that apparently people say Five Finger Death Punch is 'normie metal'. Granted IRL I've only come across really amazing people in the metal fandom. However, one of the very first users I had a fight with on this site got all butthurt because I liked (I think) t.A.T.u. more than Slipknot or something like that. Even though I liked both.

[insert popular band here] isn't real [genre]

I get that five finger death punch is kind of a normie band as far as metal though, and there are better bands out there, but you don't have to put people down for liking them

-"You can't like x genre if you like y genre!" Or like "if you like anything other than Goth music then you're a poser!"

-"X genre isn't REAL music. If you want REAL music listen to this thing that I specifically like!"

-"Music sucks nowadays more than it ever has." Okay maybe mainstream pop music has gotten a little samey and uninpired, and I love a lot of old music. But saying music just sucks now is like such a disservice to current indie artists that are doing such cool and inventive stuff.

-When someone asks who my favourite member of a band I like is. This is more of a pet peeve than something I hate, but honestly I probably have no idea what any of the member's names are.

-VINYL RECORD SNOBS. I really want to get into vinyl records but I don't know what's genuine product reviews and what's just elitism because I see so much of both.

-Another pet peeve and not a hated thing but when people ask me who my favourite band is I have the hardest time answering. I usually say Joy Division because I love Joy Division but like... I don't think I have just 1 favorite band
-its even worse when people ask what my favourite song is.

I think that's most of it

"if you like anything other than Goth music then you're a poser!" Oh god yes this is annoying. I also hate 'this isn't real music'. And 'modern music sucks' is dumb too.

"Music today isn't real music" says the person who points to Top 40 pop music charts and ignores everything else being made today

That everything old is seen as better. Does not matter if you're comparing a new band to an old one, if you're comparing a new Justin Bieber album to an old one, or a kpop video to a new one, the old one will always be seen as better. Even if the quality is outdated, poor, or just overall bad.

It's the same thing I hate in any fandom. Elitism in its various incarnations. I was posting on my blog and I posted a BTS post and someone who was following me literally said the group was shitty and the post was a shitty post. After fussing him out I promptedly blocked him. No need to deal with his stupidity.

Honestly I'm kind of high-key distancing myself from the BTS fandom. I didnt like them to start with too much, but the more popular BTS gets, the more extremely toxic their fanbase seems to get

^This makes me sad. The more band or artist grows in popularity, the more toxic their fanbase get. And it`s impossible to reason with them, because they are like crazy monocots with only one opinion and one truth

I’m probably going to be part of the minority here, but I hate how literally everyone bitches about Justin Beiber. Like, yeah, I get it—not everyone like him. There are plenty of artists that I don’t particularly like, either, but I don’t take a stab at them every chance I get. I’m not a die-hard “belieber”, but some of his songs pretty damn good. I’m not going to deny the talent I think someone has just because everyone else hates them.

Pretty much, what everyone above me has already said. Literally EVERYTHING. To sum it up, both Elitists, mindless Haters and simply disrespectful fans. Those who will judge you according to what you hear and consider your taste inferior or declare you as not being a True Fan if you don't meet their standards. Those who hate simply for the sake of doing so. Just because it is the ''Trendy'' thing to do. Ignorant people who never gave a certain Artist or Genre a chance yet they are so willing to bash on those who have and liked what they heard. ''Fans'' who give up on Artists they were listening simply because of one Song that wasn't particularly to their liking or couldn't stand their respective Fandom. There are more reasons as well. In overall, reasons about what I dislike in any Fandom. The Toxic part of them. Each Community has it whether it's small or big. Can't say that I have been interacting with most of them (Music included).

Also, concerning what Zanhar said about Concerts, such irresponsible behavior is certainly quite nerve-wracking. You are going there to feel the Music and enjoy yourself. Not being pushed around or having to deal with any annoying person that comes your way !!!!
