I so totally understand what your saying here. I do consider myself a muser. Not so much to identify with other people, but because of my deep felt love for Muse. I'm positive other musers wouldn't consider me a muser though. I don't know all lyrics by heart, I don't even know all song titles or what album they're on. To me, my feeling like a muser isn't about that at all. It's about a passion I have discovered through their music. It touches me on a level I never experienced before and can't explain. Yes, I met new people all over the world because of this fandom, but I consider my muserdom something private. And yes, people in a fandom can be very narrow minded indeed. It's a shame ... It really shouldn't matter if you're a fan from the start or just recently. It shouldn't matter if you like certain songs, but not others. I guess people are just wired that way, to feel more important and better than others. It is sad. It should be about sharing the same passion.
