It is different. When most people hype their favourite band, they don't make out like that band is doing things that are virtually unknown/unseen/inconceivable anywhere else. They don't speak with such ignorance. What your average Tool fanboy doesn't realize is that, in the grand scheme of things, Tool aren't even that experimental! Hell, they're not even inaccessible compared to a lot of the stuff that's out there. Tool fanboys see the band as being the most revolutionary, cutting-edge, experimental, other-worldly thing ever. Anybody who's really listened to a proper range of alternative music would never be able to say such things. So whenever you see people making those sorts of comments, it's always just cringe-inducing and repulsive.
