I swear, you keep putting these girls up for trolling purposes. Your points are valid, I understand why you love them (even though I don't), and they're a great example for your argument, but as you said yourself, THEY'RE FLAMEBAIT.BonsaiK said:snippity snip snip snip
One thing that music fans always underestimate is the taste of other music fans. Just because person A posts something and says "god this sucks" doesn't mean person B, C and D are going to read it and go "yeah you're right this does suck". Here's something which I think is completely brilliant, and I found out about it thanks to people on this very forum bitching and moaning about how crap it was:
I wouldn't have heard about it otherwise, my friends sure don't listen to this stuff, they're all far too busy name-checking only "socially approved" bands and maintaining their credibility-friendly "rock" image to actually enjoy the music they listen to... but the point is that advertising works, and free advertising works just as well as paid advertising, even if you're saying that the product is crap. Did you know that Kazahakstan received a massive increase in tourism dollars after the release of the film Borat?
It's not the idea that any fame is good fame when you're trying to sell a product, it's the proven fact that any fame is good fame when you're trying to sell a product. This user hits the nail right on the head:NewYork_Comedian said:Fair enough, im not an expert but im curious to know how posting hate on him will benefit him. Is it the idea that any fame is good fame in the music industry?
Negative publicity can be enormously powerful, and media-savvy artists who know how to harness it these days can ride free publicity on "teh internetz" all the way to the bank. Here's Millionaires again, saying upfront what a lot of people in the industry damn well know behind the scenes:drisky said:Honestly the only time I hear about Beiber is when the internet complains about him.
Without the buzz generated by haters, they wouldn't even exist - and they know it. Hence they troll like crazy in every song they have:
Let's face it, if those girls signed up to this forum the mods would ban them based solely on their musical reputation for inciting flamebait and free advertising...
I'm not. I imagine he might have met someone with taste, who saw his great talent, and said to him, "Justin, you bastard. Don't make that noise. NEVER AGAIN, D'YA HEAR?"Kortney said:I'm curious as to who exactly said it would "never happen".
Well... "Never say never" apparently.Kortney said:I'm curious as to who exactly said it would "never happen".
A. Your "f*cking fun" is now officially more annoying than the target of it (seriously, I'd rather be trapped in a meme regurgitator for an hour than here another BAAAAWWWWW JUSTIN BIEBER BAAAAWWWWWW comment).thublihnk said:Remember: no matter how young you are, no matter how quaint your upbringing is, even you can be successful. As long as you're good looking, are extremely talented at something people want to watch, and make the right chance encounters with already successful people.
EDIT: And the 'music industry' worker who says we're 'just feeding the trolls', you're boring, you're wrong on quite a few levels and just let us have our f*cking fun.
Then don't click on the damn forum post. It's easy. I swear.lacktheknack said:A.

B. I would trust the music industry worker to be right over you.
You can get one new with a scope for as little as $500!!!blue spartan 11 said:I feel like this world is coming to an end. How much is a sniper rifle? Just asking.
Hey I'm not stopping anybody from posting. If people want to give the kid free advertising and promotion, go right ahead, be my guest. I'm just saying, let's call a spade a spade here.thublihnk said:And the 'music industry' worker who says we're 'just feeding the trolls', you're boring, you're wrong on quite a few levels and just let us have our f*cking fun.
Actually I put them up because they're a perfect example and they're rare in that they talk upfront about what a lot of other musicians in the same scenarios are quite happy to let quietly slip by unmentioned, so therefore they keep being relevant... hey at least I didn't post Brokencyde this time (although I confess I thought about it, Millionaires was a better example, plus their lyrics are easier to hear).lacktheknack said:I swear, you keep putting these girls up for trolling purposes.

Although I suppose this entire thread was pure flamebait... so I guess you get off free this time.
