Are You Consider As A Fan Of An Artist/Band/Group Of You Also Describe Them As “A Guilty Pleasure”?
Cause I read a quote that you aren’t considered a “real” fan of someone if you admit to them being a guilty pleasure. I even read a quote from a celebrity that does not want someone to be fan if they consider her as a guilty pleasure.
I don’t know what’s the general view/perspective on that, so I would like to ask you guys if you can be considered as a fan of someone who is also a guilty pleasure to you?
As a reminder, here are the several listings on what can be considered a guilty pleasure to someone:
- 1) It's something you felt uneasy/negative about at first, but then ended up liking for some reason.
- 2) It's something that would lead to physical (as well as verbal/mental) assaults no matther how much you try to defend/ignore
- 3) It's an interest that you know is flawed/has its faults, yet you like it because you can't help such a feeling. For example, a song with full racial/sexist lyrics. You may be aware that the song is heavily flawed for its sexual/racial lyrics, and end up thinking “Damn, they are right about this criticism", but you can't stop listening to it! (I could also use Nicki Minaj's Anaconda video as an example for males, because such a "seemingly" objeciifying video may still get males sexually aroused to the point of wanting more of it.
4) To add on to #3, you realized they are not as skilled as certain singers that you have listened to, making you wonder from something so great to something mediocre/bad.
5) I'm liking something that is “out of character/different in personality and approach" compare to yourself. Like this metal guy who admits to liking some pop acts!
6) You are the minority of a fan base that is filled with your opposite gender (like a male liking Justin Bieber/1D/Taylor Swift/boy bands/etc.)

All of those involve asking id its wrong/weird to like/be a fan of something and if you have/believe in guilty pleasures, while this question is about what the general consideration of if you are a fan of something you consider to be a guilty pleasure.
I don't know he answer myself, so its why I ask all of you.

If you like a singer , for example, then you are a fan. If you are a fan of someone (see previous sentence) but feel you shouldn't be (because they generally are aiming their act a young girls and you are a 40 year old man for example) then you could describe their music a guilty pleasure for you. But who really cares what others like?
I don't think you can describe yourself as a fan of a group or singer if you also describe that group or singer as a "guilty pleasure". Saying that something is your "guilty pleasure" is saying that you like it, but you also disapprove of it (ie you think it is wrong for one or more of the reasons you have listed). So you cannot be a fan of something that you disapprove of.
