Is Pink Floyd male or female?

I'm female and I am a PF fan. And I didn't start liking them because of man, but because of another female fan - my sister.
I don't think this question is stupid or invalid. Not that I think women can't understand their music, no. But it is just a fact that there are not many female PF fans. I myself know only me and my sister. And to be honest it makes me feel quite good.

I have known many pink floyd fans that are female, indeed i am going out with a floyd fan, i have been out with the ex drummer of a band i was in and she was into floyd. We all know their music is more accesible or more accepted by male fans but their is definatley a healthy female population out there that appreciate them too.

I don't think anyone on this forum would be ignorant enough to say Pink Floyd are a male only band, though as i said i'm sure they're target auidence was more male because proper bands target their music at the people like themselves

I think this is a bit brutal to say, but when Genesis (after they got rid of one of the world's best guitarists Steve Hackett and refused to do great music anymore) issued And then there were three album and had the chart hit with Follow You Follow Me, they said that the audience, which was 95% male before, had suddenly more females, who listened to that single in radio and loved it. I always thought that's weird if that's true. Some bands tend to have mostly male audience and some tend to have mostly female audience. I think the Floyd always tended to have mostly intelligent audience.

Is this just a very complicated way to say pink floyd fans are mostly men?

huh? Of course it's not! You think women aren't intelligent in general?

I think the fans of Pink Floyd - the real fans - are intelligent in the way the music and lyrics make them think. Unlike most of the pop bands, whose music makes you think only "yeah, this sucks."

If it only was that simple. What about all men that aren't fan?

I think nobody is intelligent in general. However, women never stop amazing me. Just like Pink Floyd. The strange thing about Pink Floyd is just the amount of good songs, and the fact the even the worse songs get a second change, because it's from the Floyd.

I'm a male fan...right now I don't personally know any PF fans whatsoever (old friends no longer listen to them). But, then I also like Nashville Pussy...there's no accounting for taste.

Here's a theory though...when I first got into PF, most male friends would say, you gotta smoke a big dubbie or drop acid and listen to "Floyd dude" (that was when dude referred to boys only - see my post with zero replies!). Now, the girls I knew then mostly didn't do drugs - those that did liked "Floyd dude". So, when I was younger, I'd say PF was thought of as "one of those stoner bands like Black Sabbath". Really, not the case as you know. Still, most women I know still aren't into drugs like the men I know are - though they all drink too much. So, my theory revolves around drug usage of males and females, and the fact that PF will probably never lose its drug band association. Not the kind of thing nice girls go for.

By the way "Nice Boys Don't Play Rock 'N' Roll" - Nashville Pussy

But you understand what I mean?

Yes, I do. But I think lyrics make you think, and music makes you feel.

Is Pink Floyd male or female?

Do you know of any female PF fan?
