I’m sure some of you have some artists that are generally beloved by the music community but you just can’t stand them.

For me it is The Mars Volta. It should be right up my alley, I like a lot of similar music but I can’t get over the vocals. They sound so emo (which kinda makes sense, given the background of the vocalist) but to me it just does not fit the music at all.

Not trying to shit talk them, just wanting to share some hot takes.

    The success of Taylor Swift is mind boggling to me. Mediocre singer is putting it lightly, lyrics so trite and juvenile, and she and her team pander to pop music trends so hard it’s embarrassing. Especially when there are pop stars that seem to be actual music makers and artists, she is such a waste of space to me. And she is literally the most popular thing on earth. I think she is popular because she represents a kind of attainable excellence. It makes her fans feel like they could be her one day since she is so mediocre at every facet of artistry. I refuse to believe anyone thinks her music is actually good.
