Current music:

Fields of the Nephilim - Preacher Man

Oh my god, there're tinhats EVERYWHERE
So.

One of the people on my friends list posted a vaguely pissed off message about leaving TheStrokes livejournal community. I should point out that, despite being a fan of the Strokes, I have never belonged to this community (Strokeslash on the other hand...)

I went to check this out and...

Mostly it's what you'd expect..."OMG! Albert Hammond = SOOO KYUTE!" But other posts...

Well...

It's like the LotR fandom, only musical.

We have...

Julian Casablancas's maybe-girlfriend is a BITCH!

She's ugly, too

Nikolai Fraiture. He's like Jesus, in a way...

"Don't post off-topic!" "How DARE you oppress me?!?"

And much, much more. It's, somehow, a beautiful thing.

Don't you love music wank?

	>>It's like the LotR fandom, only musical.>> One of the reasons I dig this kind of thing is the idea that all outbursts of fannish stupidity are shadows of the same Platonic ideal of the ultimate fannish stupidity. Or, sounding a bit less pompous, in the dark all wankers are alike. Sigh. It's beautiful. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I know. The moment I actually got to the "Nikolai Fraiture: He's like Jesus in a way" one, I basically fell off the bed and shuddered until I made a snarky icon on the subject...I knew that flame wars and such bled into each other...but... BLARGH! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unfortunately, it was a joke that intersected far-too-neatly with several reminiscences from things I've seen of other fandoms. Eh, whatever. Bred an icon. Good for it. (Reply to this)(Parent)
