I'm not sure why I'm surprised it's you who's doing the tired old "this is worthless garbage not worth engaging with" thing, but I kind of am

It read as mean after I posted it, but I was going for funny. Not worth hurting Jorge's feelings.

In a way it is all I have

I guess I'm kinda surprised too, but I have deep resentment towards some music, especially when it's this popular.. and this Puth song really started me off on the wrong foot

Sorry guys, I will sincerely try to be more open minded

Because it is soul crushing.

Also, I made it 36 seconds into that song. Sorry folks.

Before I get roasted for lack of patience know that’s this morning I labored through 36 MINUTES of The Other One.

Personally even if I don't like the song they're usually interesting to examine in terms of craft... usually

I will try and take this approach. Thanks, Jorge.

This. I lose round 1. In those 36 seconds, I couldn’t decipher what makes him any different than any other male pop singer between 1998 and today.

The most popular things are almost never good, because most people have terrible taste. It's why the best of us are drawn to alternative music, right?

Maybe, but even "alternative" used to be popular. So, this is interesting to me. No matter how awful i personally think it is.

Alternative to what? The lowest common denominator. Alternative has its moments, but it was never meant to stay mainstream. It is by definition not mainstream.

Trying to ascribe refinement/intelligence to your own aesthetic inclinations is a losing game champs

Lots of great music in every genre, and even music we now consider "respectable" used to be derided as low-brow at some point

Taste is one thing, but I'm sorry pal, some things are just objectively lazy, bad, cynical.
