Those bands are usually sellouts and that's why they get the apples fanbases. People will start liking you because you're &quot;becoming as popular as popular can be&quot; and not for your music. Real fans like your music and try to spread it for you. It's the way smaller bands maintain great followings and sell out shows. Another rule is to please your fans, not yourself.
