There's alot to discuss about a band, dislike or like it. If all you can pull yourself to say fully is " They're hot/They sound good" Then it's the sign of a clueless fan girl. There's more to music than looks and how they play.
Okay, that stuff is important too. But i think the most important thing would just be liking their music. As long as they aren't homicidal maniacs i really don't care that much about their reputation, etc. Meanings of songs are important too, but one of the things i like about Japanese music is that i can't understand it...kind of. Sometimes i look up lyrics but most of the time i don't have time too. I mostly just listen to how it sounds. I don't think i'm a completely clueless fan girl for it either. And I agree, they are cute, but not hot, which is a big difference.
@myvfan- i think salvanas was talking about fangirls, and in that case it wouldn't be implying that they were gay.

Now we're getting somewhere

I mean the reputation of the band as a whole. Not their personal lives. I mean, for example, My Chemical Romance. They don't get the best greetings on a stage, do they?

I agree with what you mean about the lyrics and meanings, but sometimes, you can't ignore it. It might sound good, but if it's something you don't associate with, for example, an extreme one, imagine if you were a jew and the song was about Nazis killings Jews. (Extreme, and unlikely, but just take it in stride and understnd what I'm saying) Would you still listen to the song?

@salvanas
I don't know about My Chemical Romance(not a big fan), and i'm not sure what you mean about reputation as a whole. You mean, showing up at concerts and not being irresponsible and totally drunk, that sort of thing? Also, about your question, at first i automatically thought of course not, but i'm not sure...well, still probably not. If it was that extreme, as in your example, i definitely wouldn't. And I completely am horrified at many rap songs that talk about beating women, and other horrible things. However, I did listen to a lot of Eminem's(?) stuff, and it had some pretty bad stuff in it, but i liked quite a few of his songs... But if we are talking about songs that are maybe not that meaningful but are still good, i think it's a different story, and i wouldn't really care if the lyrics were meaningful or not. Discussions are fun!
Why is my signature not working? that isn't actually a random saying, there's a picture, just so you don't think i'm completely weird.
