The problems of a Onerepublic fan.

I'm a huge Onerepublic fan, I'm the kind of fan who stalks the twitter page and has all the albums on an Ipod, I pretty much end up listening to them a few times a day at least I even listen to music in bed , I'm practically a junkie.

I like other artist and bands that I listen to as well like Keane and the fray and what ever but Nothing else really comes close.

Any way in the UK they aren't too well known, in Europe and america they are pretty well received but in the UK they haven't topped apologise and stop and stare and nobody really knows why, I don't think it's the UK media's fault, pretty much the reason I became such a fan was because a UK music channel aired all the right moves otherwise I would have never known about the second album, It could be the marketing but I refuse to believe it's because they aren't relevant or what ever (surely music is made relevant by being talked about not because it follows a certain trend or because of the popularity of the artists or we would have no new music and musicians.)

Because nobody in the UK knows who I'm talking about I can't talk to any one about them and to make matters worse people presume I mean Onedirection or something, I occasionally manage to jog peoples memories by singing  stop and stare and apologise and people give me a pitiful look.

It's hard finding a fan who knows what your talking about that's why twitter is one of the best places online because you have a ton of fans at your finger tips, any obsecure thing your into you can find someone on twitter is also into it.
facebook however is full of people from school or work or whatever and the closest thing to a OneRepublic fan is the occasional cool kid you know who is raving about this song that features the lead singer Ryan Tedder that I've already seen ages ago and they're sharing it on facebook and getting tons of likes which is nice I guess but I shared it a week ago and nobody cared so I'm sitting there seething.

I pretty much know about every song he has featured in, wrote or produced as soon as they are released because the bands twitter page tell you everything.


But its the comments on you tube that are the worst (I know YouTube comments are notoriously dreadful but why goes every video turn into a Onedirection  slagging match?) on every video there are comments on how Onerepublic are better than Onedirection despite the fact nobody said that they preferred OneDirection in the first place, then you get that one awkward person who says that they like both 1R and 1D and tries to defend OneDirection whilst trying to prove they really are Onerepublic fans too and they try calm everyone down and it's just terrible.

 I don't really get it , people actually go to Onedirection videos to insult everyone nobody really does that for Onerepublic videos so I don't really understand why people bring up the Onedirection thing, is it because they have similar names or something?

Everyone complains about how Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus and similar artists get more youtube views and do better in the charts and everyone says how kids have bad taste in music or how people only watch them because they want to see how awful it is and as much as I would like to see Onerepublic in the charts it isn't really Justin Beiber or Miley Cyrus's fault, do you know what I mean, they are obviously doing something right to get that much attention, I'm just happy with the way things are and if they become more popular it's fine too.
