It's time for a new round of Unpopular Fannish Opinions

[geekwriter143]

OK, so, I have to admit something. I have failed. I have epically failed in my quest to love bandom. Or the bands that make up bandom. I just...I don't get it. It's like it's a puzzle and I'm missing half the pieces. I've read the primers. I've watched the videos. I've read the stories you've all rec'd me. And? Nothing. It's just not

Well, I have to imagine the video is a lot less interesting if you aren't already a fan. I think they're mostly just doing fanservice at this point (or total self-indulgence. Same difference, really). The cover itself highlights a different side of Patrick's voice which I find awesome, but out of that context it's definitely not all that remarkable.

However, I do enjoy Tony Hale leading an MJ-moves class on every level.

I don't get bandom either. You are not alone

Ditto! I'm at the point where I just give thumbs up to people who like it, but avoid the fic.

I just...I don't get it.

We are as one. :-) Of course, I'm not a big RPS fan, under any circumstances.

See.. I have an odd problem. I love the bands (no joke) I even find them slash (really, I think that Pete Wentz is bisexual but doesn't talk about it and Patrick Stump is just in love) but... I can't get into bandom. I have TRIED. TRIED AND TRIED. But just can't do it.

I think because the entire fandom at large makes me feel like I am back in high school and even though I am 24 I am apparently still that chubby awkward theater geek that no one would like to hang out with. So I avoid bandom like the plague and silently squee over Pete nuzzling Patrick whenever he can.
