    Alright so this may be unpopular but in my opinion demonyms are cringe as fuck, so my personal choice would be “fans of Motörhead”

      Cringe as fuck

      Yes. But a problem? Nah. Which of these sounds better?

      Lemmy’s Motörheads: What do you think sun plasma tastes like?

      Lemmy’s fans of Motörhead: Insert poll

        I appreciate that, I take shit-talking pretty seriously and it’s important to be as accurate as possible. That said, I’d like to amend my previous statement.

        In my opinion, both demonyms and most other types of collective nouns are cringe as fuck. One notable exception of course being crows, because calling it a murder is fucking metal 🤘
