Why no name for SY's fanbase?

Rob Instigator · 01.13.2015, 03:49 PM

Just a thought that ran through my head. The Grateful dead have dead-heads. Jimmy Buffet has parrot-heads. Kiss has the Kiss Army. The ICP has juggalos. Lady Gaga has Lil' Monsters.

Is there, or has there ever been, a name for the 800 people around the world that love Sonic Youth? If so, what is it? If not, why not?

That's a great idea. Sign me up for it.

Pookie · 01.13.2015, 07:06 PM

Let me know the result.

What if i'm already in a committed relationship with being a confirmed dead-head? Also, while both party hearty who would win in a bar brawl, the Kiss Army relying on "grown man strength" or the rambunctious now 30 something Juggalos? While meth and general low lifery of the ICP crowd seems a safe bet can we really count out all the bar room brawling experience of the Kiss fan veteranos?

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 01.13.2015, 08:22 PM

But if they want to brawl about the Dead?

at least on this board and in some publications, it seemed to be the name we have!

i like the idea of there being dozens of names emerging after Rob began a thread about it though!!

i will add "stereo sanctifiers" to this list!!
and then also add "fuzzy faces" and "mille feuille"

No one is taking the Juggalos vs Kiss Army bet? VegasInsider just updated the odds and Kiss Army are the favorites at +315 but don't sleep on the sleeper, as while the Juggalos line is -500 they don't get any sleep and a serious meth binge could amp them up enough for an upset
