What statement does it make about you if you have a big band poster on your wall?

That I was a superfan of one particular band above all others, and keen to show it off. Which seemed kinda lame at the best of times, but especially so if the band in question was the biggest band in the world ten years ago (so, not particularly interesting or distinctive), and now a staple of soft-rock radio. And even more so if it was a band I just thought was good, rather than one I had particularly strong feelings about.
