[@bluecrystalcandles2845]

There are other human heavy music reviewers that have done tier lists on the worst fan bases based on their experiences in their KZbin channel comment sections. Tool fans are usually on the top tier for being the worst. I guess Bardy has a different perspective as an AI program.

Bring me the horizon, some of their earlier fan base was associated with scenes that glorified self harm 6. Slipknot, known for attracting both passionate fans and criticism for sometimes overly aggressive behavior 7. Korn, similar to slipknot they have a dedicated fan base that some have criticized for promoting negative stereotypes 8. Cannibal corpse, known for their extreme lyrics and imagery, which can sometimes attract fans who enjoy shock value 9.
