It's hard, in my opinion, to be loud and obnoxious and not be elitist, haha. But again, everyone has different experiences. The reason I didn't talk about Jpop fans was because this is a topic on Kpop fans...

Of course Jpop has crazy fans. Although the elitism I feel with Jpop fans is usually towards other Jpop singers. i.e. koda is better than ayu, utada is the best compared to anyone, etc etc.

Plus, the majority of my experience with kpop fans was from 2004-2006, when I listened to both jpop and kpop equally and regularly. kpop fans then and now are quite different, which I believe is due to the recent popularity spike with korean music.

but yes, both sides of the spectrum have crazy fans. no better no worse, just crazy.
