Wouldn't you think that someone who loves an underground band would be really, really happy for the band becoming super successful? Also, if people like the music they like the music. They ARE real fans. Why hate on them for loving the same band that you do? I will never get that.

For instance, I freakin love Bassnectar. But now that he's huge, I hear tons of people say they don't like him anymore and hate the "scene" built around him.I just don't get it, I am stoked my homie made it BIG !!!And yes, he'll prob be at Coachella this year.I feel you man, Bassnectar is a really good example of that kind of hipster attitude. I think it's because music is really emotional and people put a lot of their emotions in to music they identify with. It kind of sucks if there is some band or musician that isn't well known who you've really connected with and become attached to the music and then all of a sudden a bunch of people who aren't interested in having that kind of experience are listening to this music that you love. It's annoying when people are obviously listening to something just because it's new or hip. I think that's what upsets people at least about dubstep thing as an example. Many people liked that kind of music and had been in to it for quite a while and then all of a sudden literally EVERYONE was listening to it and telling YOU about it. Exasperating.
