A very large band with not a lot of substance, named after an ego-maniac. No one ever knows when they have a new album out, they just appear. It's creepy. Responsible for Jack Johnson and to a lesser extent, John Meyer. (At least John Meyer has comedy to fall back on.) They should not be listened to, especially by young women in frat-guy rooms. It leads to bad things.
Guy: Hey, have you heard the new Dave Matthews Band single?
Unsuspecting girl: No, I didn't know released a new album!
Guy: Dances to Dave Matthews Band while touching himself
Girl: Leaves

A motley crew of has been roots rock "musicians" who think that playing seventeen instruments at the same time somehow makes them musically competent.
Few people know that Kurt Cobain killed himself because he heard the song "Ants Marching" by Dave Matthews band playing on the radio.

A band that is often rejected by many due to the stereotype of its fans, who are often douchebags in college. I personally enjoy their music; I find some (note some) of their works unique and original. Some of their songs are "Satellite" and "Warehouse."
College Frat Kid: Yo man, Dave Matthews Band is coming to play here!
Non-College Frat Kid: Stop degrading us!

The coolest band in existence live and in studio. This is not cap by his genius live with sometimes songs over 30 minutes if you can extend a song that long you are a genius. His lyrical genius when playing live with his band members Tim Reynolds, Stefan Lessard, Jeff Coffee, and Carter Beauford to name a few. It is just amazing how great they sound.

Dave Matthews Band Syndrome (D.M.B.S.) is a negative characteristic of something, which is otherwise enjoyable, but you are forced to HATE because said something's fans lack the ability to shut the fuck up about how much they love it.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic suffers from Dave Matthews Band Syndrome. See also The New York Yankees, Metallica, and Harry Potter.
