on every artist-specific message board ever

111. People speculating about what Pitchfork are going to think of the new album when they get around to reviewing it: "I think it'll be 7.6", "Nah, I'm feeling an 8.1", "BNM!", "Yeah, if it doesn't get BNM there's something wrong"

Eh, 112

113. "It's not that the new stuff is awful, far from it! You just have to hear it live!"

114. Forum member dares to criticise a new single or new album by a band, gets immediately shot-down with: "You're not a true fan, fuck off and listen to Justin Bieber."

115. Culture clash between the Main sub-board and the Other Music sub-board, many regulars of which claim no longer to like the band.

116. uncomfortable sexual tension

117. Hurt/Heal forum games

118. Attempts to sway the result of sites' clickbaity polls/tournaments/etc

119. Lecherous and/or lovelorn comments directed at photos of any female artist/band member

120. Regular hate/trolling/banning/invasions/general animosity toward the one artist designated as an untalented copycat of the forum's subject

121. Year-end lists and freakoutery about how the forum's subject is not on them

122. non-musical sub-boards that invariably includes a Politics board where the discourse rarely hovers slightly above cringeworthy

123. avatars which features the poster quoting himself one time he shined some other n00b who said something stupid about <band>

*THE one time

124. No activity because everyone has moved to Facebook.

125. "Hey! So, I bought two copies of the new album on vinyl today, and (*insert painfully long description of the pressing, the weight of the vinyl and the sound quality*), I've gone one of the items right here with me - the other, of course, is going to stay sealed LOL."

*gone=got

103. Young member of the forum, possibly brainwashed into liking said band/artists by his/her middle aged divorcee parents, who take him/her to gigs by said band/artist simply to have someone to go with because the realities of parenthood and work have decreased their social circles significantly, makes occasional posts about how he/she finds the 60+ year old singer/keyboardist/bassist attractive.

"on every artist-specific message board ever"

Incredibly, I've seen that happen quite a few times.

126. "What songs should [band] cover?"

127. "What songs are you sick of hearing live?"

128. Alternate versions of albums that include demos and b-sides from the same era

129. Arguments about drummers

130. "Help me make a mixtape for friend who only knows the hits"

131. Songs tournaments

132. Someone gives way more thought about the band's music and lyrics than the band themselves ever did

133. Has anyone heard this obscure b-side by (band) named "Call Out Research Hook," I have ordered a CD with it for $11 and can't wait to hear it!
