Taylor Swift

[dad]

we went from:

i do not understand why this lady is so popular. can someone explain it to me?

to

it just never hits

yeah same.. she's just.. OK

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

i don't get why she's popular either.

[dad]

Well, I mean, I don't see what's so special about her music and why she's so popular is what I mean and all .. she just seems like "some lady"

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.

[tree_]

yeah i know i still feel like she's just some average lady but i did enjoy reading what Bi3 wrote as an explanation

[Jorge]

i don't dislike her at all.

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

[Farmer John]

i don't see it

I also never understood the mikey jackson hype.. good dancer but his songs were kinda annoying

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.

to be fair, i do like Shake It Off.

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

You're out, champ. Don't make it awkward.

[Ello Sailor]

his songs are not as great as people say they are..

I just tried that and it did not help.

[tree_]

try it one more time

[Farmer John]

No!

[dad]

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

it's gross.

yeah seriously and what's with his face? I can't get over how so many people say he's so great when he's literally not great

to all of your post, but especially this.

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.
