not getting why she's popular and not liking her music are two different things

but i guess you have a point in that you don't have to have great music to be so popular and i liked Bi3's explanation
don't let them bully you into changing your mind, tree.

i just don't get it.

i've tried, i truly have. it just never hits.
She has some songs I like here and there, but I find most of her stuff merely insipid. There are a few tracks that I do hate, such as "Anti Hero," which to me is just an awful song with awful lyrics. The syncopation in the pre-chorus drives me up the wall, and the whole thing feels navel-gazey in the worst way. "ME!" is also awful.

But I have made peace with the fact that she's the most popular pop singer on the planet and I'm gonna keep hearing about every annoying thing she does until the day I die. Thankfully most of her music is inoffensive enough to blend into the background

I know everyone's got their hands full here, but are we just going to let this one slide?

If I sigh after reading a Tree post, I'm not replying to it. It has served me well.

it might help to ask yourself if you really like mikey or if you simply bought into the popularity.. he's so weird and his songs are not as great as people say they are.. maybe a couple of them are better than just OK but he does the same weird "tee hees" in every song and he's not great like people say

but since he died and molested kids people don't really talk about him much anymore thankfully

people still talk about him, and a large percentage have somehow glossed over the child rape stuff.

it's gross.

It might help to ask yourself if you really dislike his music, or if you're simply letting your distaste for weird faces and child molestation cloud your judgment.

I just did this exercise and recalled that I disliked his music even before I came to know him to be a very weird and bad human

Fair enough. For the record, I do not like him as a human either.
