Just as Grateful Dead followers were coined "Deadheads", avid Moe fans embrace the term "moe.rons."

on a board where people enthusiastically and unironically embrace fatboy slim
Everything Fatboy Slim has released under his moniker post-YCALWB has been bad to terrible

The most embarrassed I've ever been for another person was when I heard someone proudly refer to himself as a Hazelnut (aka a fan of the band Sister Hazel). It was like I absorbed all of the same that he should have been feeling but totally, totally wasn't.

SHAME that he should've been feeling etc
secondhand embarrassment is real

It may be a truism that if there is a quasi-official name for fans of a given band, the band in question is a bad band that should not have fans.

a second grader definitely lip synced 'praise you' at the school talent show that year, and it was extremely painful.

I posted that video on facebook when it first came out and my father-in-law replied "What was that, a bunch of gay guys?"
― ☮ (peace, man), Friday, 2 August 2019 18:34 (four years ago) link
And did you reply 'no, it's a bunch of Three-Elevengers'?
― COOL DUDE'S ONLY, NO NERD'S ALOUD (Old Lunch), Friday, 2 August 2019 18:40 (four years ago) link
I replied something like "I hadn't considered that they might be gay. I just thought they were dorks!" to which my FIL replied "so did those two guys in the window."

my favorite Fatboy Slim thing is that insanely loud accelerating noise on "The Rockafeller Skank" which still stops the room cold

Mea culpa: apparently 311 fans are known as 'Excitable Ones' or 'Excitables' for short.
Of course they have a name. Of course. Of course.

It looks like one of those things from a kids movie where their little brothers hypnotize them and plays it during their big presentation to the board of directors, causing them to suddenly lose control and start doing that and it's so embarrassing but there's nothing they can do until the song stops. Then they get fired.

When I think about jam bands I immediately think about what their fans do for a living. I know what a cappella fans and metal fans and EDM fans and Jimmy Buffett fans do. I have no idea where jam band fans work.
― El Tomboto, Friday, 2 August 2019 20:54 (four years ago) link
I think they organize and staff jam band festivals, primarily. With a little composting consultancy on the side, maybe.
