If I remember correctly it largely started because of some joking comment by some famous person decades ago. And because of early internet it was a early form of meme. It was something you repeated, it was the cool funny thing to say. And then I think people started to forget that they weren't to take it seriously. So they start saying they hated a band and had absolutely no idea why other than 'that's just what you say'
