: A small but promising wank in a small fandom.
The Dresden Dolls are a Boston-based band who have begun to make it pretty big in the past year. Since many of their songs feature dark topics, and since they mix cabaret into their performance and style, it's not surprising that many, shall we say, melodramatic people will be drawn to their music.
However, the band also has a sharp sense of humor and irony, and this is usually also the case with the fans. But now that they are going through that awkward transition from little known local band to indie poster children, wank is beginning to crop up. And it is not, as traditional opinion dictates, from the legions of new fans.
A series of three posts to the dresdendolls lj community has definitely demonstrated that much. It's your usual sort of suspect -- an angst filled nineteen year old boy with a Marilyn Manson avatar.
