I agree that's not all of it but being with 1D stalkers in school talking about each of the dudes heights and birthdays and not actually talk about their music makes a difference to me. I should have mentioned that's more for pop music because fangirls of alternative, rock, etc like the band for the music not just looks.

Sorry about real fan statement couldn't think of a better term

What is this statement addressing? To be fair to who? It kindof implies that you're doing to defend or explain something.

Fact.

Assuming you classify Muse as non-pop, which will open another can of worms.

I do have my fangirl-ish moments, but the thing is, I fell in love with the music months before even bothering to look up their picture and when I did I said they looked American (??) and that was all. I had even watched the New Born and Feeling Good videos and didn't really care about what the boys looked like and who was the cutest one...

Now, I probably would wait outside their tourbus to get a picture or an autograph for the reason that the probability of me meeting them more than once is slim....

Now but the girls on tumblr who are all about BellDom and tweet that stuff to them and inspect every picture for BellDom bullshit do piss me off. I know some people just have fun with it, and even though I don't like it, as long as they don't tweet Matt about how he should marry Dom, I'll tolerate it....

People actually tweet that to them? That's disconcerting.

Yup.

I remember it was last summer when a couple of us looked up what other people were tweeting Chris and Matt... it was a disgrace.

Gosh, that makes us sound like weirdos. But seriously. Can't you see at least a little how weird it is?

some people were being creeps in general and just tweeting obsessive, crazy shit, other stuff gave me second-hand embarrassment (WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT BELLDOM DID YOU READ WICKED)... I guess the lads just take it with a laugh

[Furygirl]

More like a cringe I'm sure, rather than a laugh...

[Oh Hannah]

That's just painful

The innocent Belldom stuff doesn't bother me at all. The guys have even played on it, on occasions, so I doubt they get freaked by it.

But the slash is another matter. I feel upset by the idea that Matt, and I say Matt with good reason, may have fallen on it, unawares.
