Get the Third-Party Band Merchmug. Some underground or obscure band (or band obscure to the fans' larger peer group) that someone likes only because they can act elitist and sophisticated OR they can they say they like something unique different from everyone else. In bad cases, should the band break into the mainstream, they will suddenly disavow their fanship.
As a phenomenon, the term can be applied to individual artists. Most associated with genres with strong anti-authoritarian tendencies like punk, indie rock or hip hop, but can be applied to a wide range of situations, like random American fans of J-pop who really only like it because they can feel special, in contrast to true appreciators.
Sometimes associated with hipsters, or rather, their imitators.
Nevertheless everyone needs a dose of identity band sometimes. The opposite excess, where your playlist is entirely composed of songs off the top 40 lists, is a much worse sin.

Person 2: Please tell me you're not into that insecure identity band shit.

Get the identity bandmug. A place in middle and high school where cults are formed, friendships (and instruments) made and broken, and the source of the band director's greatest pride (but also their least favorite place in the world).
