why are we called the B army?

[The_Original_Toy]

will i am

[Guest Edge Of Clockin' You]

Idk tbh... when I joined the fandom it was already like that. I'd like to know around what time it became our fanbase name.

[BOBIBCFBG]

bc Rihanna has the navy so Britney got lazy and made it the B Army. should have been the  Britney ******* 

[AntOpz]

Britney named us Britney Army, and it stuck, its accurate af.  We are an Army, Her Army, as in we stand by her, fiercely loyal. (most of us) lol

[reoha098]

well, we were named as britney army since 2007 actually, because it was that year, that all fans were trying everything to defend britney from all the attacks because of the meltdown.  not because of will i am, not because of rihanna navy. 

 

if you want receipts, search in this forum, the "britney army' phrase is already been used since 2007.

I remember when pubert girls Bieber fans were called Believers I thought it was stupid and childish and then I found out we (Britney fans) were the Britney army so I found that stupid too.  I didn't like it at first but I guess I got used to it but now I feel proud of being part of this fanbase and defend our queen from everyone as @reoha098 said.

Cool. Never knew that. Thanks for the info.

The official name was given to us by will.I.am by the time he was working with Britney and Scream & Shout.

I'd rather have the Britney Army than Britney's *******.  

[Guest $elfish]

Who ever made it , is lazy , unoriginal and boring it should have been Britney's *******

[MrLovett]

Because of her armography. Get it? Arm - Arm-y 

 

It's ok - I'll see myself out 

[dasho]

britney army >>> britney's *******... like ewww.

 

 

[5HINee]

It could be an unique name but it's still ok

there are worse than this

As someone said before, it was thrown around in 2007, because fans defended Britney. Then, the army theme was used in the Circus Tour, and then we also had the rise of fan base culture. Gaga started calling her fans Little Monsters (because they screamed, and clawed their hands at concerts, like ''little monsters''), Katy and Rihanna followed the bandwagon (2010-2011 Rih was a band wagon brand, lets honest), and called their the Katy Caty, and the Navy, and then it became a standard to have a named fan base, and other fans started adapting names (Beliebers, Directioners, Lovatics.....(sounds like an infection), etc.)

There's no way out of this place 

[RobRocks]

I've always liked more Toy Soldiers 

but idk, that's our name and I have no idea about its origin

[Plaidatlo]

Britney Army were the pretty much the first to name fans, right after everyone started naming their fans :Little monsters, Beliebers and so on.

Britney Army came up from the fans being hella loyal and standing by Britney side no matter what. I think it came up right after 2007 days....

[Shadow.]

Honestly I think its juvenile considering her fanbase is mostly 18-30
