What people and things have the most annoying fans?

This is kind of an offshoot of the "most overrated bands" thread. We've all had pop culture works or public figures that we hated mostly because the overzealous superfans were really annoying. These are things we don't like anyway, but the fans turn what would otherwise be indifference or mild dislike into hate.

So...who or what do you hate more than you would otherwise because of who else likes it?

Here's my own list to start us off:

Radiohead
The Grateful Dead
Chuck Palahniuk
The Big Lebowski
Watchmen
Craig Ferguson
Lord of the Rings
The Boston Red Sox
Veganism

I don't concern myself with them enough to hate, but the insane clown posse fans seem pretty repellent.

I both agree with and feel indicted by about half of these.

I don't do hate. However, I am slightly annoyed and skeptical towards just about everything that over-enthusiastic people consider "super-fantastic-absolutely-OMG!!!!!!!-fabulomaniacally-best of the best of the best thing or a person that changed their life beyond belief and if other people don't think exactly the same then they're just..."bad" (I'll spare the profanities ;))". And I'm not talking about teenagers here. These things include all of the latest fads out there. Overexposure takes the appeal away.

This is exactly what I meant. The word "hate" is to be taken with a boulder of salt.

And as long as I'm here, I'll add two that other people mentioned:

Anime
Organic foods

the hate is strong with this one.

Oh, and anything that has anything to do with Star Wars aside from the original film. ;)

anime and organic foods are pretty cool in my opinion, but i could see how they could get annoying maybe.
