LEAVE BIEBER ALONE!!!11!!!1!!1

I don't think I hate the Bieb-ster as much as I hate his parents, who willingly slaved their son out to the media hype machine.

I don't hate him, but i have to admid that i only know him from those hate-activities online.

Fun Fact: I am german and we havent really heard of him either

Because that b*tch has ruined the word shorty, (or shawty) for me. This is saddening...*cries in corner*

Bit in all seriousness I agree with you, it has got somewhat out of hand.

Put it this way: if you put yourself into the public light, expect to be attacked. With all the fame and wealth Justin Bieber has generated for himself with his lackluster songs and girlish voice, he can stand to be knocked down a few pegs on the internet and such.

As a Canadian, I'd just like to apologize for spawning this example of how low the music industry (especially for children) has sunk.

i hate what he represents, and since he does it willingly, i hate him too. What he represents is the breakdown of modern culture into something simple and dimwitted, willing to accept any sound that emits from any mouth as art and willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for blobs they call "paintings". Art died in the 80s, when people like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera were born. The advent of gangsta rap and all that other synthetic crap is what caused the fall of good music.

What Justin Bieber is, is basically a robot. Him and his music are entirely formulaic and based more on appearance than actual skill. The only reason people like him can be "stars" is because of how they look and how their churned-out appearance is so inhumanly superior to normal organics. I will not stand by idly and just "let it be" as tweenage and teenage girls lose their fucking minds over every new "face" (which is all it is, faces) that invades the pop culture scene as though they were 5 year olds and the ice cream man was coming.

Also, the hate comes from men in general, who become more and more rejected as these assembly-line idols raise women's expectations to astronomical levels. Never mind personality, that's dead, it's all about looks, so the average guy (who doesn't wear three layers of Axe and wear stuff exclusively from "Abercrombie & Fitch"-like stores) doesn't stand a chance. And it's always been this way, so I don't wish that we could go back to any "good old days" because the last time women weren't so shallow is when they were completely ruled by men, and those days sicken me as well.

All in all, I just hate it when our pop-culture is populated by synthetics that may as well be cyborgs or test-tube babies for all I know. I also hate that the general population has set their standards so low for art, where a douche-bag playing 2 chords on a guitar gets everything while those of us who actually strive to work on our technique and actually be able to play more than the same 3 songs over and over again (just listen to pop, it's the same crap ALL the time, and if it's not the same, then it's the same as the last time they tried to do something different) are left to rot.

Well, it's not like anyone listens to people like me anymore, I may even get flamed for this somehow or have someone point out how I'm wrong about my own opinion...

Thank god for critics, the last sane people on the earth.

EDIT: I don't give Bieber special treatment, I hate all pretty boy/girl/questionable-gender idols that confuse young minds and make their self-esteem suffer.

Ah dude I agree with all of this but one point. Rap. I don't see why rap gets all the hate it does, when quite a lot of it is actually a) good music, and b) poetry. Now, I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong, but I'm saying that quite often when people slander and hate on rap, they haven't actually listened to any rap worth listening to, as the rap that is commercialized and advertised is, unfortunately, garbage. This is more an enquiry as to whether you've ever listened to any "good" rap.
