Idolator
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!
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.
@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.
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!
