Someone who likes Pink Floyd enough to fit under the definition of being a fanatic (which is commonly shortened into 'fan'). Casual listeners who can't even properly name the songs they like need not apply.
See also 'Fan':
–noun
an enthusiastic devotee, follower, or admirer of a sport, pastime, celebrity, etc.
Antonym:
Casual listener.
Poser #1: ANYONE WHO LIKES ONE SONG BY A BAND IS A FAN.
Pink Floyd Fan: Actually, if you use the English language and abide by the use of the word 'fan', you have to be an enthusiast to call yourself one. Enthusiasts know the song by name, not by the catchy chorus, just like they know the band by their catalog, not by the singles.
Poser #2: YOU SAID ALL POPULAR MUSIC IS BAD AND I CAN'T USE PROPER GRAMMAR.
Pink Floyd Fan: Actually, I don't have any problems with popular music, I just have problems with people who talk about how much they love a band when they only know five of their songs. And if you can't grasp grammar, don't attempt to define words and phrases in a public forum.

Someone who listens to and enjoys all the music of Pink Floyd. To sharpen the definition, since many people don't seem to understand the sensibilites therein, I will underscore what does NOT make a Pink Floyd fan.
1. Anyone who thinks 'Another Brick In The Wall Part 2' is their best song.
2. Anyone who thinks they didn't make any albums after 'The Wall'.
3. Anyone who does not know who Syd Barrett is.
4. Anyone who thinks Pink Floyd is a person.
5. Anyone who can't name the members.
6. And most importantly, anyone who can only name 'Dark Side Of The Moon', 'Wish You Were Here', and 'The Wall' as albums they have written.
Let me go on to elaborate that anyone who likes just popular music can't consider themselves a fan of a band.
Popular Music Fan: Pink Floyd is awesome.
Pink Floyd Fan: Yeah, what's your favorite album?
Popular Music Fan: The Wall.
Pink Floyd Fan: And your favorite song?
Popular Music Fan: Another Brick In The Wall.
Pink Floyd Fan: Which part?
Popular Music Fan: Huh? There are parts?
Pink Floyd Fan: Do you know any of their other albums?
Popular Music Fan: Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here.
Pink Floyd Fan: Besides those two.
Popular Music Fan: They put out albums besides those three?
Pink Floyd Fan: Do you know who Syd Barrett is?
Popular Music Fan: Didn't he invent guns?
Pink Floyd Fan: You are not a Pink Floyd fan.
Popular Music Fan: Oh.

Someone who knows that Pink Floyd put out more than just 3 albums.
Someone who knows that the song is called “Another Brick in the Wall Part II” and not “We don’t need no education”. (Yes I’ve heard people call it).
Someone who doesn’t think Another Brick in the Wall Part II is their best song.
Someone who can listen to all 23 and a half minutes of Echoes and not get bored.
Someone who can name all members of the band.
Guy: so you like Pink Floyd?
Guy 2: Yeah they’re great! I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan.
Guy: what’s your favorite song?
Guy 2: We don’t need no education!
Guy: that’s not what it’s called...don’t call yourself a fan.

Someone who likes Pink Floyd music, INCLUDING The Wall, for it doesn't mean that it is bad solely because it is popular, you top-rated motherfucker.
A Momentary Lapse of Reasoning is better, though.
Pink Floyd Fan
Me: Are toothbrushes not useful?
Top-Rated Motherfucker: Yes.
Me: Why do you say that?
TRMF: Everyone likes them, they suck.
Me: So you don't use one?
Retarded TRMF: No.

Someone who enjoys music made by Pink Floyd.
It isn't someone who knows all the albums, all the bands members, or all the songs. Anyone who like listening to Pink Floyd is a fan. There is no criteria. Sure, tons of people only listen to Another Brick in The Wall, or Wish You Were Here, but that doesn't make them not fans.
By looking at Urban Dictonary a pink floyd "fan" is a pompus asshole who looks down on anyone who hasen't listened to A Momentary Lapse of Reason or A Saucerful of Secrets.
Guy: I like Pink Floyd
UD guy: Oh yeah, well can you tell me how many different instruments are used in Shine On You Crazy Diamond?!?! What about the exact number of copies Animals has sold, huh?!?! I know! Its 579463!! Bet you didn't know that, YOU FAKE PINK FLOYD FAN, NEXT TIME THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU CALL YOURSELF A PINK FLOYD FAN YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE.
524đź‘Ť 187đź‘Ž
someone who is actually a fan of the band Pink Floyd.
If you know about the albums, Meddle, abscoured by clouds, More, piper at the gates of dawn, then you MIGHT be a true pink floyd fan.
also, if you think that another brick in the wall is their best song, you are not a true pink floyd fan. anyone who picks this as their favorite likes it only because they get to scream "we dont need no education" a bunch of times.
fake floyd:yeah pink floyd was right, we dont need no education.
true pink floyd fan: shut up please.
