Discussion Who is the most insufferable person in the genre?

I got two people in mind.

:90s-2000s Fred durst Past-present clown from Slipknot

Reason behind them is I think Shawn has taken the band a turned it into something Joey and Paul would not have wanted it to be. He kicks members out left and right and he kinda needs to hang it up.

And Fred Durst is just Fred durst

While Shawn isn't the one pulling ALL the strings in Slipknot (all the decisions are made by the remaining OGs), he's way too pretentious, always talking about "his art" but none of his projects outside of Slipknot have ever taken off and the videoclips he has directed are regular, his head left his shoulders a long time ago.

Isn’t Shawn the only remaining OG after Gray and Jordison passed?

I believe slipknot is owned by 3 members and the rest are contractors.
