Not all Tokio Hotel fans are crazy and brainless!
You should think twice before accepting the bias on Tokio Hotel fans you read on sites, magazines and newspapers, where they present Tokio Hotel’s fans as crazy, hysterical people who live their passion in one collective mad craze, avoiding logic. Of course you can’t ask the youngest fans, usually not even in high school, to have the wisdom of Michael Jackson’s fans, who are from another generation and have proved though the years that they are patient, vaccinated against sordid press campaigns, and their musical ears are the main way they judge singers. It is true that we are sometimes “ashamed” for them when we see here and there, Tokio Hotel fans who find nothing better to do than insult the press and other people who don’t share their passion 100%.
But there is also another category of Tokio Hotel fans, intelligent and thoughtful, not necessarily older than the others. A poet once said, “Years change nothing, when one is an idiot, one stays an idiot…”
Personally I really like Tokio Hotel, without having them as my idols. It is with great pleasure that I quote here the comments from Clara and Chris, so that more readers can see:
Clara: “I find it ridiculous, all these petitions which just put pressure on TH, in order for them to come to such and such a city and all the merchandising…What makes them different is their music, their lyrics, their sound, their state of mind (cool, and yet they’re pros at messing around). But also what makes me think that they’re out of the norm and interesting is because they sing in German! This gives a totally different sound and it feels good to finally hear something different. Bill’s voice in this language is so soft to the ear in their ballads and so energetic in rock, it’s simply rare…”
Chris: “I’m a big Tokio Hotel fan, but I think it’s sad when people aren’t open to other bands and give them a hard time when they perform before TH (Note: He’s referring to the Parc des Princes concert, when a band played the first part of the evening). They’re worthy of performing in front of Tokio Hotel’s public, deemed difficult and quite immature. On top of it BP Zoom was perfect; their redo of ACDC was amazing! Youth will have to evolve. They aren’t teens anymore, but young adults.”
