    it's the layered "irony" that ween fans go gooey over and think they are so special for that makes ween that much more loathable.

    Bands with rabid fan bases typically draw more hate than they really deserve.

    I wouldn't really hate on Phish that much if I didn't hate their fans so much

    No, hipsters co-opted irony long ago, and Ween is far too mainstream for hipsters. The fact of the matter is, they are amazing musicians and play really good (but often silly) music in a variety of styles, and don't take themselves seriously.

    This.

    I don't really think I'm "so special" because I love Ween. Could give two shits if someone doesn't like them or doesn't get them, to each his own. Not everyone gets Monty Python or Will Ferrall as comedy, but that doesn't mean they aren't funny...last I checked each make a lot of different people laugh. So in my book, even if I don't like those styles of comedy (I do by the way), they would be characterized as funny. Ween is the same way, not everyone gets them but that doesn't mean they suck.

    Also, I've never understood why someone would loathe a band because of the fans. That's retarded and doesn't make sense to me. I understand loathing going to SEE a band because of the fans, but how does the fan base effect your mood when you are sitting in your car by yourself listening to them on the radio? You either like the music or you don't...and that's ok.

    Depeche Mode. Been listening for years but never really liked it... Don't know why, maybe self torture.
