Ultra Violet 18,991 Posted October 31, 2021 There aren't really artists I know that I dislike, because if it's the genre I don't like (rap, a lot of pop music, country) then I can't blame it on the artists. And I've never had strong opinions on artists being overrated either. I think "they're overrated" is usually code for "I feel left out" or "I think I'm too cool for this trend". Usually its just artists I don't care for but it's not enough to say I don't like them. I could list many, but it's really just most pop artists or rappers besides the few that I do like the voice or style of but not the music. Sometimes I keep up with the news of popular artists just because I like to see their success even if I'm not a listener. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fangirls made him synonymous with gay sex due to FanFiction and while this has understandably mortified every other member of one direction harry decided to cash in and honestly i respect the hustle tho if he’s going to keep on queerwashing being a straight rock star can he atleast get a stylist? that said i do like his music tho I wouldn’t consider it anything groundbreaking 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liiike it's really never that serious people act like he's sacrificing innocent children when in reality he's literally just trolling? Religious twitter republicans were outraged by his "satanic imagery" (again literally him giving "the devil" a lapdance) so he just played into it a little on twitter as a response to it? Literally what is the big deal.. Also I've seen a lot of grown men, like, Grown men, both on twitter and on here Outraged by Olivia Rodrigo's success. I don't get it. She's literally just a teen pop star & seems pretty unproblematic aswell? Sure you can find her music annoying & dislike her as an artist (I personally find that drivers license song a little cringey) but calling her a bitch and all that for whatever reason is just weird, and the thing is it's usually grown men doing it too like.. Just very weird behaviour imo. also Courtney Love's a weirdo for numerous reasons. the "modern rap bad" "female artist singing about sex bad" takes are also very tired like come on now agreed with all of this. Olivia is just dishing out teen pop themes and not hurting anyone. and "modern rap bad" is so fucking racist. it shows that you've never actually listened to the genre because rap is hella diverse in how it's presented. i think "modern rap bad" is just a PC way of saying "black genre bad". 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aidanrts 15 Posted November 1, 2021 I like Delta Lipa's music but can't stand her as a person. Traveling the entire pandemic and posting about it on socials constantly?? So tone deaf. It's upsetting to see people supporting her and rushing to buy concert tickets for her upcoming tour. Stop giving money to people that suck!! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think culturally, men in the UK are more comfortable and open with being more feminine than in America, which is why I think the way he dresses isn't being perceived well across the pond. Obviously there's always a chance his label was like "okay dress like this to get more attention from fans and news outlets etc", but what if he genuinely does just like to dress that way? As far as I know, people don't have to be gay or queer to dress more feminine. Also this isn't an attack on you or anything, I like you. I'm just curious about the whole thing in general 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just curious about the whole thing in general Billy Porter's recent criticism was amusing (since he certainly didn't invent gender-bending fashion) but he did have some good points. Harry gets to do this without actually experiencing the discrimination that people in the LGBTQ community face (since Harry has always given vague answers and refused to define himself – not that that's necessarily a bad thing). He can have his fun in a dress but then blend back into the crowd of straight mediocrity without missing out on career opportunities. Is Harry wrong for what he does? No. Can we be annoyed, though? Definitely lol. That being said, my understanding is that Harry has always been an ally, at least, regardless of his sexual orientation. I don't have a problem with him. P.S. Yes, I wish Americans were as open as (some) Europeans when it comes to gender and sexual expression. I'm sure some of the hate is rooted in homophobia. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solar Fields 4,163 Posted November 1, 2021 Not sure if y’all are referencing someone else’s post but I never said that modern rap is bad There are lots of great rap artists right now like Noname, JPEGMAFIA, Rich Brian, Brockhampton, Earl Sweatshirt, etc. I said that I dislike a lot of the most popular rap songs by artists like DaBaby and Kodak Black. Rap is a great genre but like most things, the most popular incarnations of it are not always the best ones. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yourolllikethunder 4,886 Posted November 1, 2021 This is not about any artist in particular, but I have trouble getting into the catalog of any artist who doesn’t write their own music, or who you can tell contributed one small thing and got a writing credit. I know pop stars aren’t required to write music, that they are performers, but for me, it dampens the quality of how genuinely and powerfully the art speaks to me. I don’t want to just dance around to a song, I want to FEEL IT IN MY BONES AND CRY (I have a scorpio moon, if it wasn’t obvious) 9 Quote I write/release my own music—if you’re bored, you can stream my witchy ode to 90s alt/shoegaze, 2:30 is 🔥 👀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
