i'd imagine it's the "bad apple syndrome", but i still can't help but make the association.
i feel similarly about people who barely skim the more popular edges of any style of music and become obsessive about it (black metal obsessives who are only aware of dimmu borgir and cradle of filth, "diehard punx" who are aware of three punk bands, etc.).
i'm perfectly fine with people only knowing the more popular bands of a genre, but when they act like they live and breathe the genre it really turns me off, though i can rest assured they'll either eventually get more into the music or just go away eventually due to lack of genuine interest.
