You should have heard all the west coast punk kids melting down when Green Day got popular!
It happens, and understandably so. The same dynamic drives the opposition to "cultural appropriation", honestly.

I don't know, it seems incredibly juvenile to me.
I'm not going to stop listening to "insert X band" because some celebrity wore their Tshirt. Or stop driving BMWs because everyone who drives one is a prick, etc, etc. I was in slacks and a tie when I went to go see The Melvins a few years ago because I got off work late. I wonder if others in the crowd immediately stopped liking them because I was there? lol
I guess I didn't realize many adults were so insecure about stuff like this.
