0:00 loving the new death grips track

All fanbases are annoying, but lets not act like they are all *equally annoying* lol Ive never had a Wale fan attack me over not liking one of his songs, but *Eminem* fans will pop up on a Lil Pump video to explain why Eminem is better than Lil Wayne. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

"Emo music is cute girl anime" -Anthony Fantano, 2018

“Woke rap” fans ( logic, hopsin, hardcore j Cole fans) are just as annoying as the yasss queen fans of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift

"If I give an artist a less than stellar review I'll be hearing about it all day everyday sometimes for the rest of my life" Fantano throwing shade at Kanye fans lmao

Why is Anthony so well versed in cute girl anime?

Karl Marx has the worst fan base of all time..

annoying fanbases *cough* kpop *cough* *cough* ariana grande *cough*

I've always held the belief that if you say "_______'s fanbase ruined it for me", then it means you don't know how to enjoy something for yourself.

A real fan of a band acknowledges the bands faults and can Recognize valid criticism. No band is perfect no group is perfect no style of music is above criticism

Emo music and cute girl anime probably makes up half of your audiences childhood media use.

I’m not above the critique of muse and honestly at one point didn’t find them that enjoyable. But then I saw them live and it changed my opinion of them forever. They are one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen.

It sucks when you attentd to a concert and are sourrounded by them.

unpopular opinion: these videos have become "how can I trigger fantano so hard into putting my tweet into his video"

0:00-0:06 One of my favorite songs ever. Instant classic.

muse gets way too much shit. Yes, their current work leaves a lot to be desired, but you have to acknowledge that songs like starlight, stockholm syndrome and futurism are great alt rock songs, not to mention the entirety of OOS and BHR.

it's hard for me to enjoy a fanbase when the music is annoying.

Tool’s fanbase is pretty toxic. I love tool but man the fans are insane

Annoying fanbases *cough* Gorillaz *cough*

0:30 Fanbases ruin music (sad) 1:50 Brockhampton dosen't like you 2:45 Muse before 2005 is listenable 3:21 James Ferraro dosen't get the credit he deserves 4:11 The Weekend is the face of pop to come 5:07 Sza's Z is a far away a better album than Ctrl 5:16 The emo revival isn't that bad 6:50 6ix9ine's crimes are too far cross to enjoy his music 7:53 Willow Smith's new album is good 8:30 Cherry Bomb was a messy album with good ideas 9:09 Vinyl sucks compared to digital files 10:48 Most metalcore bands don't get respect

Death grips gonna sample that intro

Melon, the Aryan brotherhood is not a passionate "fanbase". Stop trying to find ways to defend them.

Kendrick Lamar fans are reaching Beyonce fan levels of "stanery"

4:14 aged well considering that he has the most streamed album of the year and is #1 on Spotify

Did you guys hear that Anthony is actually HowToBasic.

Origin Of Symmetry is a great album, full of soaring vocals and riffs

Eminem, X, J Cole, and Logic have by the far the most annoying fan bases

These are my fav vids of yours. More of a 'Let's discuss' vibe then a 'Let's argue' vibe. But nvm. Keep doing your thing KZfaq's favourite music geek.

Is your melonhead a cantaloupe or a honeydew?

Three melons is better than one

I like Muse

All acts have their bad fans but some bands garner a special breed of crappy fan. Tool stands out to me as a band with a fan base that has a particularly unique 'odor' when it goes bad. The alt rock/grunge edgy dark kid is a cliche but most of them are harmless. Something about Tool (probably the prog elements) throws an obnoxious pseudo-intellectual elitist vibe into the mix that just makes you want to tear our their numerous facial piercings.

not even Origin of Symmetry? man, you really know how to get someone down

Imo nothing can truly ruin the music other than it being straight-up bad. Music is audio, not a game of who can be the coolest.

Does the Radiohead fanbase have that bad a reputation? Actually, forget that, as someone who used to be a big Coldplay fan, I know why.

Your LET'S ARGUE series is my favourite content of yours to watch Anthony. Keep it up, proud of you.

Every artist has annoying over obsessed fans tbh 😂

MBDTF: 6/10 NEVER FORGET - NEVER FORGIVE

In my experience, the only thing that changes music WHATSOEVER... *Is drugs.*

XXXTENTACION has the worst one that it haunts me

I love joji but i cant stand the fanbase of depressed white girls who think joji is god

Howthony tobasictano

I have liked this video 4 seconds in just for the funky and cool intro tune. Keep up the good work anthony.

The annoying fan base thing works for anything really. Comics, movies, TV shows and etc. etc. The prime example is Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty is a really good show BUT sometime last year a portion of the fan base turned into a cringe zone beyond belief so people used the fan base as a reason as to why the show "sucked" or why they just can't get into it which is bullshit.

Hey It’s howtobasic

Damn = Lil Pump = Lil Boat 2

2:15 everyone when Melon gave mbdtf a 6/10 after re-reviewing it

I love this shirt, its classic melon orange but also quite stylish! Great upload.

I don't agree... Although Cal Chuchesta's fanbase is way to obsessed with is music, I can still enjoy his lyrical genius and remarkable production

Death Grips fans aren't annoying because they over praise the artist. It's the memeing that distracts from having good conversations about their music. Also, makes liking their music seem less genuine to outsiders looking in.

And you will continue to hear about how you gave DAMN a 7 for the rest of your life

As a fan of Muse I am genuinely interested in the reasons for why you don't like them. Is there any perticular reasons why you don't like them?

If a fanbase changes your opinion of an artist or music that's just stupid imo. And if a fanbase is the only thing keeping you from being into an artist all you have to do is just not associate with them. It's not hard

Annoying music reviewer fan bases ruin the music

“Everybody’s annoying...Just get over it” -Anthony Fantano 🙌🏼

That the weeknd take tho👀

say what you say about Muse, most guitarists say theyre incredible technically.

The Kpop fandom and the fandom within it makes me wanna cryyY

good answers today melon, I appreciate your voice of reason in these trying times

Credit where it's due. Your Deafheaven review of Sunbather got me into them.

Nichijou is still the best

Don't let this video distract you that Melon gave DAMN a 7/10

From 2011 to 2013, I played drums for a band that was part of the emo revival. The cute girl anime description was so accurate. LMAO

Agreed on basically everything apart from the last bit on metalcore - there’s a bunch of underground metalcore today that isn’t yknow, naive and angsty but aesthetically great. Renounced from here in London spring to mind!

6:37 My Chemical OwOmance

I agree with the comment about early Muse being good. I absolutely adore their discography through Black Holes. However, they lost me with The Resistance and the one after.

Alright I'll give you that Muse's last few albums aren't great but when did all this general Muse hate come about? OOS, Absolution and BHAR were great albums that were liked at the time. It's like saying Pink Floyd is a bad band because they sucked in the 80's.

0:02 this is what u hear when u get into hell

Howthony Bastano

are we gonna listen to a melon that drinks water from a jar?

Nice Nick Rocherfort reference with the intro -- "I'm Thom Yorke"

Atrocity exhibition is a record best heard on ear buds digitally. You get effects of his voices going into one ear and then coming around behind you to the other ear, as if he's performing through a floating hologram, right where you are. You get this effect on when it rain and it adds to the creepiness of the track and it sounds really cool.

Why is thatistheplan on fantano's channel?!?! 🤔🤔🤔

WE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU MELON... EVEN IN YOUR DREAMS, WE'LL BE THERE... WHISPERING... "U GAVE DAMN. A 7"...

Some really annoying fan bases can prevent me from wanting to engage in the artists music but it doesn't ruin the artist itself

About the comment on the emo revival. I pretty much agree. Some bands i think are very original and distinct are Great Grandpa, Citizen, Sorority Noise, teensuicide, and The Frights

Origin of symmetry is a fucking awesome album

You should do a Madness Bracket for an alternative or rock artist like Radiohead or Modest Mouse or something. Try to switch it up from all the hip hop/rap

The intro sounds like the brains of the Shaggs being turned into a MIDI file with a high tech device that turns your brain into sounds

I think music is also a journey of what you have heard, where you are and what you are about right now. Mr. Fantano is on a journey of a really wide long road with tons of genres of music and a whole lot of albums journeyed through. He has a very different prespective because of this. No one has to accept his opinions but you've got to respect that he's devoted a tremendous amount of time to listening, understanding and getting know artists and genres. IMHO these rabid die hard fans are on a narrow track of music that are either looking for more of the same or have stopped their journey and decided that they have found the best shit without really looking outside of what they like.

If annoying fanbases ruined things I enjoy I think I'd have no joy in life. Somehow people find a way to be annoying about everything

Howtony Basictano here

i love this series so much

Really great vid this time!

Nice animal collective cover at the beginning Anthony

Everybody like to hate on Muse, even their earlier stuff... no one cares to explain to me why though.

I love this segment, Anthony.

would you please do a video on your top 50 records worth buying on Vinyl specifically??!

do a list of like 10 records that you recommend on vinyl that aren't on streaming platforms

The metal fan base can get very annoying and this is coming from a metalhead 😑

Never thought about that metalcore comment you made. Thanks :)

i like that you can address the topic mentioned by the title in the first response instead of putting it late in the video like other fuccbois

Beyonce has to have the worst fanbase of any.

Way back a long while ago in a faraway universe known as the 90’s when Seattle grunge and gangsta rap was IN there was an interesting little subculture know as the Deadhead! Rabid devotees of San Francisco based flower power hippie dippy psychedelic rock band The Grateful Dead! Dressed in ragged jeans, tie dyed t-shirts or dashikis, Birkenstocks, love beads, toe rings(and bells), hemp fanny packs and reeking of patchouli these creatures of habit would pile into their little cars or used VW micro vans and follow them across the country from show to show explaining to most layfolk how their music has no better. To be fair the band did have chops especially back in the day when the recently converted(including yours truly) were not even born yet or at the very least still in diapers. Lead guitarist and vocalist Jerry Garcia was actually good and has his memorable moments depending upon how high and what drugs he was on but his vocals not so much. They made some classic records in the late 60’s and early 70’s, American Beauty being their most popular from ‘70And everyone of them would utter the same thing, “You just have to see them live, brother!” And the tapes, oh the tapes! Every diehard had his/her box of cassettes with shows ranging from the 60’s all the way through the current day! And don’t ever even think of saying anything negative about them or suffer their wrath!

10:40 I believe he meant the fact that digital audio is way more clear in the sense that it doesn't add any color unlike vinyl which always has it's "faults". I do think vinyl often sounds great though, but I gotta admit that digital audio is truly superior quality wise.

You should do a list of the best rock albums released in the 2000s.lots of great ones released in that decade.

So many, and I mean SOOOOOOOO many girls in my school are either fan girls of Ariana Grande or of BTS (both of which I do not like as artists), and they became so annoying I, an extrovert, started talking to the quiet girls instead. I could actually kind of listen to Ariana Grande in the mid 2010’s, until they ruined it for me and now I hate Ariana Grande with my damn core.

okay i did not know you didn't like muse. care explaining why? because i really like them.

This is my favorite “Let’s argue” solely for the intro song

Honestly curious how much anime Melon head has seen never expected a lucky star reference kudos to him, time for the needle drop to expand into anime reviews!
