well, i dont know about other genres...that is i know for some, like techno and hause events (raves) - people into that are quite loyal as well but they rarely visit distant gigs, while braindnace fans often visit gigs in other countries (at least this is what i noticed)
are there any other genres with such silly fans??

Metal fans are downright obsessive. I've had a lot of experience with them lately because I'm diving into the genre now, and they're rabid. And silly. Fucking annoying at times, but at least they're passionate.
IDMers are my favorite group of fans though. Because they're obviously the most intelligent people around.

another thing i've noticed...people visiting braindance events are there more for the music
as for the raves - music there is good for shaking booties so it attracts a lot of girls - and well girls attract guys
i dont know anything about the metal scene - i also think im imagining a meatl fan totally wrong hehe

For individual bands, Dream Theater, Opeth, Katatonia, metal bands like that, their fans really, really like them. A lot.
I wish I could say Beatles fans were that aggressive, but there's just too many of us, too many casuals. I do my part in the fanboy department to make up for the
bandwagoners though.

or As I Lay Dying, they're a metal (metalcore) band with double bass so fast you'll think it's a drum machine.
or better yet, Agoraphobic Nosebleed!! they actually use a drum machine.
ah i love heavy music.

Yeah, it's artsy ''progressive'' metal, a lot of concept albums. I'm not a big fan, but John Petrucci is an extremely impressive guitar player, inhuman. Mike Portnoy, their drummer, is also excellent. Great instrumentalists, but I'm not fond of the songwriting and themes, or the vocals.
They're good though. If you like Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, etc, you might like them.

all the stuff i mentioned is about as opposite as you can get from progressive metal. The stuff i mentioned is chaotic as shit.

there was a Rephlex show in Austin a long while back - over a year ago - with Bogdan, Ovuca, DMX Krew and Cylob all there. I wanted to go SO bad and tickets were a reasonable price.
Never went though- i STILL regret it. :(

Haha! See, I'm not too fond of them! A bit too much cheese for me. But they're much loved in the metal community and they're talented musicians.
Try Ephel Duath- Painter's Palette, there's a prog metal CD that I DO enjoy quite a lot.
