Remember those halcyon days when we came to know and love ADiehardFOBFan as the grand wizard of all Jonas Brothers-directed malice? Well, according to MTV News there’s a new anti-JoBro sheriff in town. And its name is Hundreds Of Angry Tokio Hotel Fans.
The two groups apparently became enraged when MTV’s Buzzworthy blog posted about the word “fanboy” being added to the dictionary, citing Jonas Brothers and Tokio Hotel fanatics as possible inspirations for Merriam-Webster’s decision. Angered members from both camps took to the comments section of the post for an epic war of words.
THA is the best fanclub there is. We have the best blog, and the best forum. I am not being biased :) I do have to say I am a little tired of Tokio Hotel getting compared to Jonas brothers.. because there really isn’t a comparison. We have the same crazy fangirls, but JB’s is an age range of 7-14, where as Tokio Hotel’s fanbase ranges from 14-60+. Tokio hotel took over almost all of Europe, and the Jonas Brothers have merely one country they have made a name for themselves in, the U.S. They are not even a full band. They are just brothers that girls love because they are ‘cute’. Tokio Hotel? That’s real music, and best of all, they do not wear fake purity rings, but instead they are a real rock band that are not afraid to admit how many girls they banged before their interveiw. I do not see any similarities between the bands except that there are siblings in both bands, and the fans are a little crazy. Okay maybe more than a little, but, that’s not in my control.
Tokio Hotel >>>>>>>> Jonas Brothers
Wow; you TH fans have *$#@~?? issues! You’re seriously going to sit there and bash the Jonas Brothers when they’ve been around longer that TH?! LMFAO ; shows what kind of fans you really are.
JONAS BROTHERS ALL THE WAY!
But the battle didn’t stop there.
But then things got out of hand … really out of hand. Karleigh and Katie Santry, who run JonasBrothersFan.com, even say that angry Tokio Hotel fans started posting inappropriate material on their forums, including pornography and violent photos. “Morbid stuff,” as the girls described it.
All this fuss for a band who look and sound like living Anime characters took music lessons from Evanescence. Sigh.
Having experienced firsthand both Jonas Brothers and Tokio Hotel fandemonium, I can confirm that both groups are essentially identical in terms of rabidness and delusion. The Jonas Brothers fans may skew a bit younger, and be more inclined to use lip gloss, but they’re just one trip to Hot Topic away from the Tokio Hotel fandom. Six of one, half dozen of the other.
(Though, for the record, my official position is that the Jonas Brothers are far easier on the ears.)

CRIPPLE FIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
…that…photo…hair…thing.
Comedy Gold.
As a 28 year old trying very hard (and failing inelegantly, every damn day) to repress my intense Jonas Brothers fandom…it is all I can do not to take snippets of this piece out of context, Kate, and wave it screechingly in the faces of Tokio Hotel fans half my age.
I think what pisses me off is that, if I were 14 today the way I was 14 the first time around, I may very well be one of them. But Guns ‘N Roses was so much better, no one will ever convince me otherwise.
@ObtuseIntolerant: omgz can I please join you? I’m old enough to know better (still young, but not “young” in the way that I should be to adore the JoBros) and I need to learn how to push this shit back.
But all I want to do is watch “Burnin’ Up” AGAIN.
So very ashamed to admit that I knew who Karleigh and Katie were before this. I need to get off those Jonas message boards. But they’re pure comedy gold. The other night they had a 6 page thread about 2girls1cup. No joke. Yea I’ll be dragged away by Chris Hanson any minute now for sure.
Next you’ll see someone who likes to get random people all riled up post some JB/TH slash fiction to both fan sites. Imagine the combined outrage.
/Thankfully, I have no idea whether any or all of the members of these bands (or should that be “bands”) are of the age of consent and therefore whether that joke is wildly inappropriate.
Koukla and Ollie who run the Purity Ring Brothers site admitted in their MTV interview, (how do 16 year old webstresses get an interview on MTV?) that they had NO idea who had spammed their site.
And when this news hit ONTD community, there were more JoBro fans wishing that the K/K owned site would die commenting.
So the K/K sisters are big fat liarheads and fame whores whose OWN readers hate them. Besides, aren’t pictures of the Jonas Brothers in their pants already considered porn? I mean seriously people, I can see their circumcisions.
As for attacking some of the Tokio Hotel sites with slash? That would be like attacking a bakery with frosting. Just sayin’.
Viva Tokio Hotel. Boo JoBro.
But Mostly? MANY MANY SITE ERRORS AND DOWNTIME TO KARLEIGH AND KUMQUAT FOR BLAMING TOKIO HOTEL FANS.
Stories like these make me feel really old.
I don’t know and reeheeally don’t wanna know anything about this Tokyo Hotel people, but he in the picture looks so dumb! To me this is comedy. Thanks, the unknown!
Mexiback, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but in real life, Bill Kaulitz is not actually a German Chia Head, so that is not his real hair. His real hair is more Sonic the Hedgehog than Chia Head. But at least the Germans don’t wear purity rings, because you KNOW Nick Jonas was boning Miley Cyrus, purity ring or not.
That kind of fandom should only be reserved for Neneh Cherry.
No moneyman! Can win my loo-oove!
@How do I say this … THROWDINI!: Well now I know what I’m doing tonight…
Of course, I’m proud to say I’ve no idea where I’d post such slashfiction to a place where either group would stumble across it. Nor do I know how to write slashfiction.
Who the hell are either of these bands. No, don’t tell me – I’m positive my life will remain richer having not found out.
Do I smell MTV’s next reality-show idea?
“TH vs. JB in season 1 of FANBOY”
1. I hope you realise that picture is a fake.
2. You can’t take take the comments of a few and apply them to the masses. Honestly, I’m embarassed to be a Tokio Hotel fan when I read some of the comments younger girls and boys make. But that’s the thing you have to remember. So many of the “rabid”, “obsessive” or “crazed” fans are so very young. And at that age everything you say, do or love is completely cool in your own head.
3. Again. That picture is so obviously fake, come on!
bueno la verdad yo no entiendo nada
de lo que dicen y quien fue el idiota
al que se le ocurrio poner esto por que solamente
a un pepe se le ocurriria esto y yo no entiendo
por que son asi bill no es asi y los que ponen mamadas
como esta es porque le tienen embidia aunque lo pongan como lo pongan
digan lo que digan BILLesta bien lindo y guapote
bueno y si no sa ben el significado
de la palabra PEPE significa PENDEJO BUENO BYE Y ARRIBA TOKIO HOTELCABRONES
HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! Bill looks like a poodle!!
I'm sorry but i just can't get over that picture!!! Whoever edited that has waaay too much time on their hands!!!
ok major TH fan here. fans who would waste time and go to the JB site to do that sh!t arent true TH fans b/c its kinda pointless and horrible. im ashammed as a TH fan of who ever did that crap.
have to say two things though
1. that picture is soo no Bill like come on serously
2. tokio hotel has been around longer then the jonas brothers
“They are not even a full band. They are just brothers that girls love because they are ‘cute’. Tokio Hotel? That’s real music, and best of all, they do not wear fake purity rings, but instead they are a real rock band that are not afraid to admit how many girls they banged before their interveiw.”
That is easily THE most hilarious part of that statement. TH is popular for the same reasons the Jo Bros are; they appeal to the most gullible demographic on the planet: TEENAGE GIRLS. Neither band is talented, neither band produces decent music, and neither band will be cared for when their fans grow up. I feel sorry for the people that are so emotionally invested in either of those bands. Five years from now, all the immature 14-year-old fangirls will look back on this and cringe at how stupid they were.
hi! you are misinformed… they both started in 2005…
maybe you could google and informe yourself about youre writing about ok?
The guy of Tokio hotel is ridiculus and ugly with this blackpower hair,go haves classes with somewone ;Let me comb your hair,be more beautiful….from Brazil
TH rocks and the age rankings are more like 10+ and Th has been around longer than the Gay-Bros anyway 2003-present so stick that in your juice box and suck it!
ps TH even has an insignia
I love tokio hotel too bad they do not come do a show in Brazil. Here they have many fans and I am one of the kisses Tom, Bill, Georg and Gustav
Ich liebe tokio hotel so schlecht sie kommen nicht eine Show in Brasilien. Hier haben sie viele Fans und ich bin einer von den Küssen, Tom, Bill, Georg und Gustav
I LOVE TOKIO HOTEL

管件万始promotion gifts supplierh
i love tokio hotel and justin bieber
i wish i could respond to the person who wrote this :
Wow; you TH fans have *$#@~?? issues! You’re seriously going to sit there and bash the Jonas Brothers when they’ve been around longer that TH?! LMFAO ; shows what kind of fans you really are.
JONAS BROTHERS ALL THE WAY!
[what i would say] – wow to you. don’t sit there and make a fool out of yourself. tokio hotel was formed in 2000 when they started off as the band Devilish, 5 YEARS BEFORE THE JONAS BROTHERS FORMED THEIR BAND.
i know this post is old….but i just had the need to write this to whoever that was that said that!
Not too big on either band to the point where I would have the urge to bash one or the other.
I’m 19 years old and will stand forever by the band who stole my heart 12 years ago: Green Day. GD, in my own opinion (obviously) will forever blow both bands out of the water. I know their recent stuff isn’t *as* good as back in the day, but they still have a decent sound.
All these little fights about who is better is irksome.
I don’t hate on anyone, but I don’t much care for the Jonas Bothers, Tokio Hotel I like much better. That being said I do have some songs of theirs (JB) that I like.
Whenever you want to bash someone or fandom get your facts straight or you’ll just look like a fool out there.
Tokio Hotel–2001
Jonas Borthers–2005
Tokio Hotel has a good 4 years one the Jonas brothers.
Now they started to to become big in the States in 2008, but just because you had never heard of them before that doesn’t mean they didn’t exist.
