[QUOTE=Bordercrosser;33610104]Ok sorry I expressed myself wrong, I like his music but I have nothing against him either. Just because he has one different belief than me doesn't mean I am going to stop liking him. I don't have an opinion on him/his personality and his beliefs. I do like his music though.
It does have substance though, have you only heard Baby or have you actually listened to his albums? He must being doing something right if he so successful.[/QUOTE]
He must be doing something right to be successful? Yeah, he's a good looking teenager who is plastered all over the walls over buildings and sings songs about love and girls which airheaded teenage girls can relate to and think that he understands their lives.
Yes he's successful because of his music, no he doesn't make good music.
[QUOTE=thisispain;33608725]really????
like really?
what do you like about him and music?[/QUOTE]
He probably likes teen pop, so that's the answer to your question.
[QUOTE=Klownox;33610140]this whole thing is just a bunch of people who are getting extremely butthurt over an artist experimenting...[/QUOTE]
"artist"
What if he was suddenly fantastic
What would you guys do then huh
[QUOTE=Teto;33612258]What if he was suddenly fantastic

He may well actually take advantage of his popularity and do something expressive.

then I would like that music and still hate him as a person
like 30% of the rappers I listen to are homophobes, racists and antisemites, but the music is good.

[QUOTE=Bobie;33613205]i actually like bieber's voice[/QUOTE]
I would be inclined to agree with you even though I'm prejudiced against teen pop.
[QUOTE=AK'z;33628532]I would be inclined to agree with you even though I'm prejudiced against teen pop.[/QUOTE]
why the "teen" kwalifyer? im p sure hes just pawp
Well he was a teenager who makes music directed at teenage girls.
It's annoying when people say they like him, and not because it could purely just be there own subjective reason and when it comes to music I can't really question that.
But its almost like there is this growing group of people who will like him purely because everyone hates his music, call it hipster or whatever you please. Like that dude who posted in the first page, makes me suspicious.
[QUOTE=Klownox;33619081]i like how you think this validates your opinion[/QUOTE]
what you think he makes his own music hahahaha
[QUOTE=Klownox;33648516]why the "teen" kwalifyer? im p sure hes just pawp[/QUOTE]
Avril Lavigne, Britney Speers, Jonas Brothers... those are teen pop.
He's in the same league as those... uh.. artists.

lol you have absolutely no idea what a hipster is
pro-tip: a hipster will only listen to the most bleeding-edge cool music or the bottom of the bottom of the crate
Doesn't listening to music you know nobody else would like count as hipster? Seems like the same complex people have with liking Justin Bieber.
Or they like Teen Pop.
nothing wrong with it, but I can't relate to that.
[QUOTE=Drax-Quin;33653613]Doesn't listening to music you know nobody else would like count as hipster? Seems like the same complex people have with liking Justin Bieber.[/QUOTE]
Err. Millions of people listen to him.

no it has nothing to do with like or dislike. as a hipster if someone comes up to you and says "dude have you checked out that new record by st vincent it fuckin ripps" you create that connection and it's like "yes we have traded among equal circles."
if someone comes up and says "you guys like justin bieber?" a bunch of hipsters will fucking beat your ass for radiating uncool.
the point is to be hip. it's not hip to like teen pop that is completely mainstream.

seeing as you're from england like me Drax, just go hang out around Camden and you'll get an understanding of hipsterism
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;33651560]what you think he makes his own music hahahaha[/QUOTE]
im sure he has a producer, but do you have proof he doesn't have a hand in making his own music?

that's such a stupid term. is punk music targeted for teens "teen punk?" adding an age qualifier to a genre is beyond stupid.

Are you talking about me? Because no I don't like him just because everyone hates him, that makes no sense. Maybe it is because I am gay and have the gay gene in me... joke. No, I like him because he makes the type of music that I like which is "teen pop" or whatever you want to call it. It that genre I also like, Birtney SPeers, Lady Gaga, One Direction etc. But I also like other genres like rap and hiphop.

No because there is NO SUCH THING as teen punk.
I suppose some aspects of Green Day were, but in all seriousness.
nobody [I]actually[/I] cares.
If you look at the list of artists, you will know that the discussion was over before it begun.

also I see you complain a lot about how genres are named. You really should see the bigger picture, it's about culture and personality more than anything else.
This can only end up being hilarious, besides it's not like dubstep has a great track record to maintain.

It'll be fixed, once people are indoctrinated into the "True Dubstep" thing, find the thread.

My apologies, I know nothing about what a hipster is rofl. I just assumed a motive of being hipster was to have a unique taste of music that noone else had, and if that meant a ton of people hated Bieber, liking it would be unique. I guess it's more about the pretentious nature of the whole thing and you can't really be pretentious when listening to something popular :v:.
Then again a lot of music I listen to is considered hipster but I've never thought of music in any other context except what I think sounds good. I mean if people actually like Justin Bieber then that's fine with me, not like I give a shit it's their opinion. My bad for thinking some of them had ulterior motive :downs:
