it’s my turn to make this post about this fandom
i am so incredibly happy to be a part of this community and to have made friends and collectively discuss the joys of MUSIC and happiness and friendship, but lemme just say that there are times when i am reminded just how crazy some of the greta fans are. we went to the thing with feathers show last night with bird and byron (i have never listened to them but GUYS!!! THEY ARE PHENOMENAL! if you like mac saturn, you’ll love them) and the criticals, and halfway through ttwf set, dave asked who was a greta fan and followed it up with “please be nice to us” and that just broke my fucking heart.
we met this lovely sweetheart who was photographing the show (and had a press pass!!!) and the group of greta fans right in the front wouldn’t let her through to literally do her job. she told us about how horrific it was to be a photographer trying to shoot gvfs michigan shows and just how horrible the fans were and i’m just,,, it’s so embarrassing sometimes!!!
this shit is about the music FIRST and if that's not why you're here, then you’re in it for the wrong reasons. this band is about community and love and RESPECT and the fact that some of y’all have WILDLY missed that message means that you need to reevaluate your priorities. listen to the music. the boys are not gonna fall in love with you. instead, let their message guide you towards what they’re really about!!! PEACE LOVE UNITY EQUALITY HELLLOOOOOOO???
anyways, i felt ashamed to be a grestie last night and i hate feeling that way. i wanna sing and dance and laugh with all of you but sometimes one bad apple spoils the bunch! i know this doesn't apply to you guys but i just needed to voice my frustration. i wish collectively we would do better as a fandom and not be an embarrassment that directly reflects onto the boys.
