1. TWENTY ONE PILOTS
Fandom: The Clique
Never underestimate the Skeleton Clique, or the Clique as they’ve come to be called. Not many fandoms can decipher cryptic social media posts and spread news as quickly as TOP fans.
SPOOKY JIM CHRISTMAS, DISNEY EDITION.

2. PALAYE ROYALE
Fandom: Soldiers of the Royal Council
This tight-knit fandom will not hesitate to stick up for one another. It’s also impressive how quickly they show up when the band needs their assistance in voting for various awards.
Love this. Love the @PalayeRoyale family. And can I just say that if I lived where you are and we had been friends, I would have kicked those bullies arses for you. ‘Cause we’re soldiers. And ’cause this family is worth fighting for.

4. BLACK VEIL BRIDES
Fandom: BVB Army
Not many fandoms have as much dedication and passion as the BVB Army, and the band knows it. I mean, have you seen their BVB Army shirts?
I have no words, nothing. I fucking love this song just watching Black Veil Brides grow and the watching the BVB Army gettin bigger and watching five man save lives through their music. It’s amazing how they can get through the world when I can’t. But I have them❤️ pic.twitter.com/0uXvI6o1tj

5. TONIGHT ALIVE
Fandom: Humans
The connection between Tonight Alive and their Humans is one that will tug on anyone’s heartstrings. These fans have been around for the long haul, creating connections with the band and fellow fans that can never be broken.
It’s so weird time think when I first saw tonight alive it was 8 days before my 14th birthday when I next see them it will be 12 days after my 19th.
I’ve literally grown up listen to tonight alive and seeing them live.— Ciara ���� (@CiaraAlive626) November 18, 2017

6. ALL TIME LOW
Fandom: Hustlers
Once you’re a Hustler, you’re a Hustler for life. The All Time Low fandom go hard and very seldom go home. Dedication lasts a lifetime. (See what I did there?)
I’m just so fucking thankful for all the nice people in the all time low fandom / hustlers are so fucking nice and helping me out! ����

7. FALL OUT BOY
Fandom: Youngbloods
The fandom may be known by many names, but no matter what you call FOB fans they will continue to be amongst some of the most laid-back and devoted fans out there.

8. PANIC! AT THE DISCO
Fandom: Sinners
The enthusiasm and passion from Sinners is one that is unparalleled in the world of fandoms. Why else would Brendon Urie sing about them?

9. INSANE CLOWN POSSE
Fandom: Juggalos
Do you remember the ICP march in Washington? How many fandoms do you know that have had to fight being referred to as a “gang”?
When they protested, my mom asked me what a Juggalo is, so I played some ICP for her. She said “Oh yeah! I like that. In that case, I’m a Juggalo too!” She’s 75 years old! Haha! pic.twitter.com/sAr30w7Ia8

10. LINKIN PARK
Fandom: Soldiers
A fandom that has been through so much but only come out stronger. LP’s Soldiers proved their dedication to the band as they pulled off the fan-voted award for Favorite Alternative Rock at the American Music Awards this year.

11. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
Fandom: Killjoys
Killjoys will never die. Instead, they’re simply waiting in the wings for the return of MCR. If that’s not true dedication, I don’t know what is.

12. STATE CHAMPS
Fandom: Best Fans Ever (I might be biased)
Another fandom that shows their true dedication as they come together in their Facebook group. A band that has given them so much, State Champs fans will not hesitate to return the favor.
Losing myself by @State_Champs will always be the catchiest pop punk song.

13. PARAMORE
Fandom: ParaFamily
This fandom’s passion and dedication has never faultered. When it comes to Paramore, fandom is family.
We’ve grown up 🙂 first Parawhores, then Renegades when Self-titled came out we became Anklebiters and now more than ever we’re Parafamily♥️

14. SLEEPING WITH SIRENS
Fandom: The Strays
In a world where so many feel like they don’t belong, the Strays have formed a fandom where all are accepted and respected.
