Plot twist, all those fanbases were already kinda garbage before they got flooded with normies and most of the toxicity didn't come from the casuals.

I was really into punk music when I was a kid since the late 80s/early 90s, then the big boom happened in the mid-late 90s, which eventually yielded to pop punk and emo music from the early 2000s. I kid you not, I was bullied as a kid for liking punk music, before it became mainstream.
I still listen to it and I've even seen a resurgence coming as it coinciding with the 20 year nostalgia cycle, which is great in my opinion. But being a punk fan before it achieved mainstream success and after it went into decline by 2010s made me feel exactly as this post describes.

What a tragic viewpoint to take. Imagine seeing something that you like becoming more popular and having all these new people to share it with from such a perspective. Depressing.
