* Fans of Music/AmyWinehouse either overlap with due to their similar styles, or are friendly with fans of Music/{{Adele}}, Music/LadyGaga and Music/PalomaFaith as the latter three have all regularly cited Amy as an influence. (The fact that they all did so when Amy was alive is especially appreciated by some of her fans, as it helped to counteract the negative press Amy was recieving at the time.)

** * Fans of Music/RedHotChiliPeppers like Music/FooFighters because the bands are longtime friends. They toured together in 1999 and did some MTV specials together. RHCP fans who are fans of Dave Navarro's time in the band tend to like Music/JanesAddiction too, especially as Flea was briefly in the band.

* Fans of one ProgressiveRock band, such as Music/PinkFloyd, Music/{{Yes}}, Music/KingCrimson, Music/JethroTull, Music/PorcupineTree, Music/{{Rush}}, Music/{{Genesis|Band}}, etc., tend to be fans of other major bands in the genre. There's also quite a bit of overlap between the prog rock and metal fandoms, largely due to several major metal bands, including Music/DeepPurple, Music/BlackSabbath, Music/LedZeppelin and Music/{{Queen}} (all of whom are listed as [[http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=38 "prog related"]] on the website Prog Archives) dabbling in the genre, along with the classical influences on metal musicians, as well as Music/KingCrimson, Music/PinkFloyd, Music/{{Hawkwind}}, and Music/{{Rush}} heaving a heavier take on prog in turn. In the U.S., the two genres were both played on the same FM rock stations, which further encouraged the overlap between prog rock and metal fandom. And then there's the entire ProgressiveMetal subgenre that combines elements of both. Pink Floyd seems to be the primary exception to people that don't like progressive rock. The band's lyrical themes and lack of pretension seem to help.

* Hudson Mohawke and Rustie fans get along quite swimmingly, possibly thanks to both being Scottish hip hop/trap producers that usually enter GenreBusting territory, and are subscribed to the same label - Warp Records[[note]]of Music/AphexTwin, Music/{{Autechre}}, and Music/BrianEno fame[[/note]].

* Although one band (Music/TheHollies) can be considered the shiniest of 60s sunshiny pop and (Music/ProcolHarum) can be considered, er, '''something else''', both bands and the their respective fandoms ''adore'' each other. No joke, the number of times that members of their band have helped out the others is legion. The friendship extends very much to the fans, and many times a Hollies fan is a Procol Harum fan and vice-versa. It helps that when Procol Harum had a date on Top Of The Pops in their earlier incarnation as The Paramounts, but had recently had all their gear nicked - guess who lent them theirs? And that the respective drummers, of said bands, Bobby Elliott and B.J. Wilson quickly became [=BFFs=] until Wilson's untimely death in 1990.

** Fans of Music/{{Genesis|Band}} and Music/{{Camel}} get along well as both bands are overall progressive but also crafted a variety of accessible albums and songs for newcomers throughout their career (for example, Genesis's "Duke" album and Camel's "Breathless" album). Although Genesis is clearly the more successful of the two, both have albums that fully match the prog label and albums that mix prog with soft rock, pop rock, art rock and instrumental music, and both bands accomplished this by slowly evolving their sound as years passed.

This also goes into many synthwave musicians that have backgrounds in metal and thus implemented it in their sound, such as Perturbator, Master Boot Record, Dance with the Dead, Scandroid, Hexenkraft, and others, while many {{Retraux}} metal band added synthwave elements in ther music.

* Due to the frankly incestuous nature of European symphonic / progressive metal bands, fans of any one band tend to become fans of a number of other bands as well. Popular gateway bands are Music/{{Nightwish}}, Music/{{Kamelot}}, Music/{{Epica}} and Music/WithinTemptation. The discovery of new (and more obscure) bands tends to speed up once the average fan discovers that members of their favorite bands collaborated with Music/ArjenAnthonyLucassen on Music/{{Ayreon}} or his other projects.

* The fans of Music/{{Pantera}} and Music/ChristinaGrimmie formed this, as both Grimmie and Dimebag died in an almost exact same way, their fandoms express condolences to each other and are united in preventing artists being killed by obsessive fans. Pantera's official account on Facebook criticising the venues for not preventing Grimmie's murder only accelerated the bond between two fandoms.

* Most jazz and classical music fans and players will like each other and go to each other's concerts. Classical fans also tend to like film scores, as they're usually done in a classical style.
* Metal bands which don't have a rivalry usually have some overlap.
** This is subverted by Music/{{Metallica}} and Music/{{Megadeth}}, whose fandoms have rivalries but have tons of shared fans who appreciate both bands. Both fanbases appreciate Mustaine's recordings with Metallica such as "No Life Till Leather", and in fact, the latter is how a lot of Metallica fans got into Megadeth.
* Gospel drummers and extreme metal drummers are often friendly and will look to each other for guidance; gospel drummers often look to extreme metal drummers for guidance on fluidity, stamina, and consistency at high tempos, while extreme metal drummers often look to gospel drummers for guidance on groove and syncopation, fill ideas and accents, and stick control.
* ''Franchise/KagerouProject'' and ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'' fandoms, to the point that most fans are fans of the other one involved. Mainly due to that both are epic RockOpera franchises (Evillious more than Kagerou Project) and use Vocaloid to create SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic. In Tumblr, Kagerou Project also shares many fans with other Vocaloid song series that have original characters, such as Shuuen no Shiori Project and Mikagura School Suite.
* Music/YukiKajiura and Music/YokoKanno have both this and FandomRivalry, depending upon the specific persons talking.
* Fans of the Music/FooFighters and Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge seem to get along well, since their front-men are involved in several projects together (Music/DaveGrohl has even guested on a few [=QotSA=] albums) along with being poster-boys for modern alternative rockers' habit of [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder having too many damn side-projects]].
* Fans of Music/AmyWinehouse either overlap with due to their similar styles, or are friendly with fans of Creator/{{Adele}}, Music/LadyGaga and Music/PalomaFaith as the latter three have all regularly cited Amy as an influence. (The fact that they all did so when Amy was alive is especially appreciated by some of her fans, as it helped to counteract the negative press Amy was recieving at the time.)
* Fans of Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge and Music/NineInchNails are also quite friendly; it helps that the two bands have toured together, and performed together at the 2014 Grammys (with Music/DaveGrohl and [[Music/FleetwoodMac Lindsey Buckingham]], to boot).
* Fans of Music/RedHotChiliPeppers like Music/FooFighters because the bands are longtime friends. They toured together in 1999 and did some MTV specials together. RHCP fans who are fans of Dave Navarro's time in the band tend to like Music/JanesAddiction too, especially as Flea was briefly in the band.

* Music/MrBTheGentlemanRhymer and Music/ProfessorElemental have both this and FandomRivalry, depending upon the persons talking.
* The fandoms of Music/ToriAmos, Music/{{Bjork}}, and Music/PJHarvey have a lot of people in common. It's probably because they all started their solo careers during the early '90s and [[http://www.yessaid.com/interviews/94-05Q.html were in an interview together.]]
* Music/{{Otep}}, Music/AmandaPalmer, and Music/EmilieAutumn. They're apparently all friends IRL. Also, to some extent, Music/CourtneyLove and Emilie Autumn (because Emilie was in Courtney's backing band), but that sometimes turns into FandomRivalry instead.
* Music/TupacShakur fans and Music/TheNotoriousBIG fans [[FandomRivalry used to not get along]]. Then, 1997 came around with both rappers having been murdered, and the two fandoms are now far more amicable on account of DeadArtistsAreBetter taking effect.
* Music/EnterShikari fans and Hadouken! fans. We don't know the exact reason, but it's nice to be friends, right?
* Also Music/TheQemists and Music/EnterShikari, due to the latter being featured and remixing many of the former's songs.
* Thanks to many world tours and live concerts made together, together with similar sounding music, Music/{{Goldfrapp}} and Music/{{Ladytron}} have a severe fandom overlap. Ladytron named themselves after a song by Music/RoxyMusic. Music/BrianEno, a former member of Roxy Music, is a fan of them. So, yeah, Ladytron's fandom is also in good terms with the ones of Roxy Music and of Brian Eno.
* MelodicDeathMetal bands Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum have very strong ties with each other, to the point where they both share a huge portion of their respective fan bases and the two bands are collectively known as Insomnium Gatherum. They also share a guitarist (Markus Vanhala) which has only served to increase their collective fanbase.
* Music/PinkFloyd fans tend to like Music/KateBush because Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour discovered her and has appeared on several of her albums.
* Music/DanBull fans tend to get along well with fans of LetsPlay/InTheLittleWood and to a lesser extent the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}, due to Dan recording tracks with both of them and getting along especially well with the former. Similarly, his fandom has developed a growing relationship with ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'' fans, in part due to Dan's [[KnightOfCerebus terrifying]] depiction of Jack the Ripper.
* Music/IcedEarth and Music/BlindGuardian fans have coexisted since the bands toured Germany together in the early 90s and became fast friends. When Jon Schaffer (of Iced Earth) and Hansi Kursch (of Blind Guardian) formed their side project Demons And Wizards and released two albums, which solidified the connection in the eyes of fans.
* Music/LanaDelRey fans are often also fans of Music/MarinaDiamandis. The artists themselves like each other's work and their shared love of satirical lyrics wins over many fans.
* The Music/WithinTemptation and Music/TarjaTurunen fandoms have been united by marriage ever since the release of "Paradise (What About Us)," a duet between Sharon Den Adel and Tarja, with a music video that pushed the HomoeroticSubtext through the roof. The [[PortmanteauCoupleName Sharja]] ship promptly took off, with the corresponding merger of the fans.
* Hudson Mohawke and Rustie fans get along quite swimmingly, possibly thanks to both being Scottish hip hop/trap producers that usually enter GenreBusting territory, and are subscribed to the same label - Warp Records[[note]]of Music/AphexTwin, Music/{{Autechre}}, and Music/BrianEno fame[[/note]]. It also helps the fact that they both appeared in a handful of games such as ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs'' and ''VideoGame/WatchDogs2''[[note]]Of which Hudson Mohawke composed the original score.[[/note]].
* In quite possibly one of the [[OddFriendship weirdest friendly fandoms]], UsefulNotes/{{Synthwave}} and HeavyMetal have a pretty close and friendly fandom to one another. This also goes into many of the artists of synthwave have backgrounds in metal such as Perturbator, Master Boot Record, Dance with the Dead, Scandroid, Hexenkraft, and the list goes on.
* Music/BillyBragg and Music/KirstyMacColl's fandoms overlap a lot. Not surprising since Bragg and [=MacColl=] were themselves friends and recurring collaborators, and [=MacColl=]'s cover of Bragg's "A New England" is a common [[GatewaySeries/{{Music}} gateway]] into both fandoms.
* Fans of one ProgressiveRock band, such as Music/PinkFloyd, Music/{{Yes}}, Music/KingCrimson, Music/JethroTull, Music/PorcupineTree, Music/{{Rush}}, Music/{{Genesis}}, etc., tend to be fans of other major bands in the genre. There's also quite a bit of overlap between the prog and metal fandoms, largely due to several major metal bands, including Music/DeepPurple, Music/BlackSabbath, Music/LedZeppelin and Music/{{Queen}} (all of whom are listed as [[http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=38 "prog related"]] on the website Prog Archives) dabbling in the genre, along with the classical influences on metal musicians, as well as Music/KingCrimson, Music/PinkFloyd, Music/{{Hawkwind}}, and Music/{{Rush}} heaving a heavier take on prog in turn. In the U.S., the two genres were both played on the same FM rock stations, which further encouraged the overlap between prog rock and metal fandom. And then there's the entire ProgressiveMetal subgenre that combines elements of both. Pink Floyd seems to be the primary exception to people that don't like progressive rock. The band's lyrical themes and lack of pretension seem to help.
* Music/{{Rammstein}} fans and Music/MarilynManson fans have a great deal of overlap due to them being dark IndustrialMetal bands with a penchant for creating controversy with their lyrical subject matter and imagery. It helps that Manson is friends with the band.
* Music/BabyMetal fans share a noticeable overlap with fans of Music/JudasPriest and Music/RobZombie thanks in part to the two's interactions with the band[[note]] Rob Halford joining the girls for covers of two of Priest's [[SignatureSong Signature Songs]] and Zombie defending the band from [[NoTrueScotsman metal gatekeepers]] bashing the girls online and praising them as one of the most energetic and engaging metal acts in years.[[/note]] and for the energetic and theatrical live shows they perform.
* Fans of {{country music}} stars Music/GarthBrooks and Music/TrishaYearwood are frequently one and the same, unsurprisingly so since the two have been regular collaborators and duet partners since the beginning of their careers and frequently toured together. To the glee of many of their fans, who had suspected mutual {{UST}} for years, they began dating around 2000 and married in 2005. Ever since, Trisha almost always does a brief set in the middle of Garth's concerts, usually including "She's In Love With The Boy", "Walkaway Joe", and "How Do I Live", three of her biggest hits. Go ahead, count how many of the fans in the audience know every single word. (It's most of them.)[[note]]Interestingly, Garth said upon meeting Trisha that he'd felt like [[LoveAtFirstSight he had just met his wife]] -- which was awkward since he'd already been married to his first wife for 13 months at the time. He and Sandy divorced in 2000, a year after Trisha divorced her second husband, Bobby Reynolds of The Mavericks. According to both, they're [[OneTrueLove the loves of each other's lives]].[[/note]]
* A ''[[OddFriendship really]]'' [[OddFriendship odd case of this]] was forged between the fanbases of experimental HipHop trio Music/DeathGrips and lighthearted IndiePop trio Music/KeroKeroBonito. Both projects are wildly different in tone -- Death Grips is known for being [[SensoryAbuse challenging, aggressive, and abrasive]], while KKB is known for being [[LighterAndSofter cute, down-to-earth, and generally upbeat]] -- and yet they've found similar overlap, partly because they've broadly found success through [[MemeticMutation meme culture]], with each having developed unique cult status among the internet, and partly because they ''are'' so diametrically-opposing. It also helps that in their own ways, both groups and their audiences have a sense of humor regarding their popularity -- case in point, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZexwGDjxrpk KKB's live cover of Death Grips' "I've Seen Footage"]] provoked wildly enthusiastic AudienceParticipation.
* Music/{{Halestorm}} and Music/{{Lovebites}}, since Lovebites' name is a ShoutOut to a Halestorm song. Lovebites opened for Halestorm on their 2019 tour of Japan.
* Music/TaylorSwift fans tend to get on with (and overlap with) fans of Music/OliviaRodrigo, since Rodrigo is [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee a big fan of Swift's]], citing her as one of her biggest inspirations and saying she'd love to write or record a song together. Swift, in turn, has shown Rodrigo a lot of support, sending her a personal letter of congratulations when she had her first hit, and letting her sample one of her songs for her debut album. Both women are singer-songwriters with intimate, narrative lyrics inspired from their own lives, who dabble in many different genres, so you can see why fans of one would like the other, and there's in general a mutual respect between the fandoms as well as the artists.
