I'll say one thing: I don't think a band's annoying fanbase should really be something for anybody to get pissed off at. The attitude of holding those sorts of fans in contempt, more often than not, will get in the way of enjoying the band and its music: if you listen to the music with the hate of the fans in mind, you'll automatically "try" to find something you dislike in the music itself.
In more extreme situations, you actually get music "critics" purposely degrading, ridiculing and even insulting the music of a band simply as part of a vendetta against the fans and for the sake of flamebaiting.
How many people hate Pantera and Tool, for example, without ever even having given their music a PROPER try? Many haters should ask themselves such questions in earnest.
My two cents.
