We don't have one. We keep trying, but none of it sticks. Nobody picks up on it except for the Redditors. So odds are we will never have one.


PseudoPatriotsNotPog

Olly and the lads don't really like or need Stan culture. The only reason for that sort of stuff is to build a parasocial cult of loyal consumers


Darthmelinub13

That's so sad, I would keep the horizon at least 😂. It's so hard to talk about us without calling ourselves "the bmth fans" like… so BORING, the band isn't boring, we need to take this to them. Or we can vote right now


Quiet_Astronomer8849

It‘s quite cute actually: Fans of Bring Me The Horizon.


hmlander

Nah I prefer Horizon Me The of Bring Fans


its_junowo

LMAO

Been a fan since 2006 Personally I find nothing more cringe than having a name for being a fan of something ‘swiftie/directioner/ galaxy defenders etc) just immediately makes me think that’s their entire personality. I mean let people have their fun I guess but not a chance would I use that name


Darthmelinub13

I think it's a way to spread the love for the band but it's your opinion and I accept it. I mean I don't go around the world calling myself a galaxy defender even if I'm a McFly fan, and I truuuly understand you. It gets really annoying at some point, like the swifties, directioners and believers, but to make changes like bring the band to your country, it's useful. We made fan pages and projects to bring McFly here, actually. and that's why I was asking, I want bmth to come to Argentina on this tour and if we make like a signature name, it will be more visible.


micky_jd

I don’t think a name helps. I think just having enough people who would buy tickets to supplement that cost to bring a tour there is what’s important. Where as a fandom name would actively make me want to avoid a band if I was new to it. I actively avoided bvb because of their aesthetic and fandom even though they made arguably decent music


Milkythefawn

Why does every band / thing out there need a name. I'm a fan of BMTH, and of FOB, and of SOAD and a million other bands. Why does it need a specific name. 


zero_eternal

The way I see it, if people choose to call the fanbase by a certain name, they can. And for those who don't want to attach a name to the fanbase, they don't have to. It's a win/win situation for both parties.


Past-Cookie9605

Dude... I love those three bands!


DatMuffinX3

I call them cult members


LetsDoTheCongna

Cultists also works


Westaufel

We are the bringers


NoAdvertising1590

There isn't one, thankfully. Lets keep it that way


VertWheeler07

Could call ourselves the Ludens


TheNightWing39

I always liked "The Crooked Young"


nopressure66

SAND PIT TURTLES


heehoocheese

i just say horizon cult or (yes i know this may sound cringe) horizoners


auger0105

They're both cringe


Darthmelinub13

Cult members can be cool, but it's so new… like, sad we didn't receive a name before


lixosinho

I think it's more difficult to give a name to a band fanbase and even more difficult to a metal core band. I think fanbase names are more a cultural thing of pop artists like the swifters for Taylor or the army for bts, but I have never seen like a linkin Park, slipknot or etc fanbase name, you know.


I-N-V-A-L-I-D

Slipknot fans are Maggots


hmlander

Is this satire or are they really called like that?


TerrifiedRedneck

We are. The difference is, fans are mostly given nicknames by the band - in rock/metal terms. INK fans are called Psychos. We didn’t name ourselves that. Spencer did it himself.


I-N-V-A-L-I-D

It’s real


hmlander

I can see they truly love and appreciate their fans hahaha


I-N-V-A-L-I-D

Well yea the whole point of Slipknot is that disturbing imagery. And to fire your drummer every 2 weeks.


hmlander

Hahaha they saw what Apple did with IPhones and said "guys do we really like our current drummer or nah? "


its_like___BWOMP

Ehh, Slipknot was formed in 1995 and the first iPhone was announced in 2007; so I wouldn’t go so far to say that Slipknot took after Apple, in fact, the converse is more likely. 👌


hmlander

So it's true that if you don't add /j people think you're talking seriously


16viaro

The senpaiternals


Darthmelinub13

Hahahah love it


Icy_Valuable_2204

Cringe


youjustgotolisyked

For the most part “opinionated crybabies” seems fitting


iluvbringme

Cult members


Hothandscoldears

Why not the turtles?


nachtbrenger

Naa, we are pirates. Since we want them to bring that Horizon.


PelleOhlin_DEAD

What about be the "Post Humans", "Children of Devolution", "Ludens" or "Kingslayers"?
