juggalos are really awful to be around that is tough to beat. But I actually kind of admire the comradery between juggalos in the sense that in the midst of all that teen angst and violent tendencies there seems to be genuine love between them. Maybe its because they are all dulled by meth and other mind altering substances but they seem happy at those gathering things.
The same can be said for dead heads except they are like actual productive members of society like doctors and lawyers and people with actual careers. I don't know if it makes it cool or scary that your anesthesiologist the noght before your big surgery was smoking doobies rawkin out some "truckin'" in his bmw.
Metallica fans are awful because most of the younger ones are either transplanted purists that didn't live thru the old stuff or they are little shits that gre up on king nothing and Load and think that is what metallica should sound like and death magnetic is a return to their roots lol.
Tool fans are fucking awful. I don't know how to explain it. They just seem so cliquey and rage out when the catalog of tool is questioned. I mean lets face it, if you're not a fan every single song sounds the same. Sorry I know some of you here are tool fans, Im not a fan but I respect your tastes.
did I cover everything?

There's a band that most of you have probably never heard of called La Dispute who has pretty awful fans (at least in Pittsburgh). I've been to two shows where they've opened (first for Thrice, the second time for Hot Water Music), and both times there was a mass exodus after La Dispute played.

Absolutely agree with ICP.
Definitely the worst.
Next for me are Umphrey's McGee fans. "Dude I've seen Umph 67 times just this year. Ahh dude whoa!"

Tool fans.
In a distant 2nd place, Juggalos.
On a more regional level, I wish all the Dropkick Murphys' fans would shut up too. I hate all your bagpipes and Celtic Triplets.

ICP fans for actual being terrible human beings in general.
Tool fans for being intellectual wanna-bes all stuck on the idea that there's some form of higher genius in everything they've ever done and being all too willing to explain that genius to you if you don't agree completely and utterly. And then there's shit like
this, which I've seen in various forms multiple times.

Then there are the Tool fan/bass player wannabes who have to grab a bass and show you how badly they can butcher
that one particular bass line.

Come on, Mike. Read that link. Don't be THAT guy.
And yes, on that bass line butchering. There was a time that happened as often at the music stores as Smoke on the Water got destroyed on guitar.

ICP fans are worse than Tool fans. Actually, the worse Tool fans are probably already ICP fans anyways.

I will add dubstep and the lo fi indie elitists rolling around.

Jesus H Christ Monkey Balls, I cannot stand pretentious indie ass-hats more than anything. The same unintelligible, whiny vocals and shitty out of tune dissonant guitars.
And if you want to talk about self imposed intellectuals, this funky bunch takes the cake. Worst offenders I've ever seen are on Newbury St. in Boston. It's a hipster wasteland; nuthuggers and all.

Yeah I totally get the hate towards THAT guy. Unfortunately there's tons of them. Tool is the messiah... blah blah blah.
Tool is still awesome I don't care what anyone says and I'm proud to be a fan. Fuck all'yall.

There is no contest. ICP is the worst thing ever. And their fans view them as a way of life. Awesome. Being trailertrash is a way of life to celebrate. Sweet.
