    For those people who want to hear my interests, I made this meme regarding my music taste: I appreciate AJR, listen to Jon Bellion and think Golden Hour is a good song, all while saying that Taylor Swift is overrated (which she is; come on, listen to other artists). As a consequence, when I see that people decide that artists such as AJR, Imagine Dragons, Nickelback, and other artists are s**t and should not be listened to, I thought to myself: why?

      I like some of those too (AJR, golden hour, imagine dragons, and nickelback), but I don’t dislike Taylor Swift either. I think calling her overrated is not a great response to how your interests are treated.

      Over/underrated is only important if you think other people’s opinions should be a guide for your tastes.

      I like Taylor Swift (her fans are crazy), Imagine Dragons, and Nickelback (a decent song so long it had to be released over multiple CDs). I also like Bryan Adam’s (how many songs can you slip 69 into). I never heard of AJR, but that’s just a good reason to try them out. Say what you will about any of them, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy them.

      You started criticizing other people’s tastes in the back half of your comment so it’s fair game. AJR is derivative trash written by people who are obsessed with infantilizing themselves to a concerning degree. Like what you like. But what you like is d-tier, emotionally maladapted millennial pandering poopoo

      1. Stop listening to or caring what other people think about your interests. They are your interests.

      2. Consider not judging people (Swifties) the same way you have been judged for yours. Taylor isn’t your vibe, that does not mean she is overrated.

      Radioactive was so overplayed and the singer has such a distinct voice that I can’t hear that voice anymore without reflexively gagging. I was a fan back in the day but once I hit that point, I never came back from it.

      I think being overrated is the defining characteristic of pop music, right? Any music where the most notable trait is that it’s popular is pop music.

      I feel like Creed is this for me. I started really getting into it ironically, now I fucking love it unironically. My music snob friends will not even acknowledge it’s funny. Joke’s on them.

        Thank you! They’re talented musicians, they absolutely fucking rock, and I love them so damn much. I immediately thought of my love for Creed when I saw this post, haha.

      I also love AJR and Imagine Dragons, I think you’d enjoy The Score.

      And Taylor Swift is overrated
