I've noticed that fans of unknown rock bands commonly claim that their bands deserve more attention, and then lash out against any new fans who like songs that "true fans" don't listen to. It's elitism and its dumb.

This is mostly observed in extreme metal. When a band abandons its edgy and characteristic logo for a simplistic one, it's often construed as a sign of selling out.
