Really, other than having rabid fans like every other popular musicians, why are we all hating a kid here? Once again, just because of the fans? This is why I haate ANYONE whose criticism of Bieber or Twilight isn't longer than a f***ing essay.
If he can make money, why not let him? He even gave it to charity, which is often the aid of lower class or helpless individuals. Is this not an honorable thing, capitalising one's fame to help others? So yes, those "jobless" you pity may have benefited from Bieber's riches when they would not have had he not done so.
I don't care for his music, but I tire of the constant hate of a kid who's doing what he loves. All because his fans, being adolescent girls, are stupid.
I have a problem not necessarily with him, but the music industry and the success off popular commercial music. I hate how he does shit all, he sings songs which lack innovation, emotion, intelligence, or anything that makes music good, and yet he's incredibly popular and rich - being a musician this really outrages me. He gets so much money and publicity for writing shitty, samey, repetitive commercial branded music, and at 16 years old. It's really just the music industry and commercial music promotion, but really, he's 16 years old. It's a shame how rich a kid can get for little to no effort, and all it does is promote the production of commercial pop music, because there's a market for it. It's not just him, but he specifically is an idol for young people to write
even more of that samey pop shit - I'm not biased, it's whole purpose is to repeat what has already been done for the past ten years to appeal to shallow teenagers who listen to this crap so there's a massive market, and thus profit, to be made. Mainstream pop music is just a commercial consumer product. And Justin Bieber is fuelling it, and that is destroying the integrity of the music industry.
Seriously though - I'm 16, why can't I be writing melodic death metal and earning this much popularity?
