Is it possible for a bands fanbase to be so annoying or generic that it can turn you off to that particular artist?

MY ANSWER:

Sure, there are all kinds of factors that lead us to biases. If by being turned off you suggest that you will never give the band the time of day then it’s your loss, however. I mean, do you only like what other people tell you to like? Probably not. Ideally you use your own ears, opinion, heart and judgement to choose your affinities. But let’s be clear, a “fanbase” is essentially a mob mentality, and yeah, that in general is a turn off. Also, I love my fans!
