Stop Picking on Justin Bieber

[espada1311]

Honestly, I don't know why people hate Bieber so much. I've never really hated him, because I've never had a reason to, and at the same time I never really liked him because he is not only in one of my least favorite genres, but at the same time has (In my opinion) no real distinguishing feature as a pop artist (it's possible I'm a bit more strict because he's a pop artist, but hey, opinions are opinions, right?). I mean, U2 had the Edge, Led Zepplin had Jimmy Page, Hendrix was... well, Hendrix and people like Son House and B.B King were exceptional in their own right because they where capable of putting their soul into their songs. The kid is only 17 years old and has yet to arrive at the summit of his art, but he's fairly decent at his young age, so I'd watch him. If he really matures as an artist in the right way, he can be great in his element. Don't dismiss a person because they are young, or if they don't look manly enough for you. In this day and age, anyone can be anything, it's up to those around them to show them how.


Besides, sometimes, these songs are pretty awesome to drum to, just look at the vid above my post XD

He's fine in my eyes. I may not like his music and I may not like how people flock to him like he's some God, but damn well if it makes you happy then do it, and I have no reason to judge.

Creating a thread for some attention I see...

Shut up, delete your account, never come here again.

You can't change peoples minds, they can do as they legally wish, this thread is pointless and will not change anything. Think before you post next time and make sure it is something worth discussing.

It's a response to the "Bieber's $40,000 Hair" thread, which was much more hostile and worthless then this thread. Don't be so aggressive.

Doesn't matter what it is biased on. It is still spam.

(Also if I was all kind about it like some others that posted I wouldn't get the attention I wanted my post to have. You got to know your audience and how they'll react.)

See what I did there?

Yeah, I saw it... You contradicted your original point and made your self look like the attention seeker rather than the O.P. Of course this doesn't always work in your favor you may attract the attention of a moderator who might not act so kindly to a user who is telling people to "Shut up, delete your account, never come here again." and you might see your self in trouble for inappropriate behavior towards a member of this community.

People need to stop acting high and mighty by pretending not to mind Bieber. You hate him! Admit it! Vent that anger, express your inner hatred of his squeaky little voice and stupid hair. But most of all, you hate what he does to girls and society. You may not hate him but you sure as hell hate his impact on the world.

This video has nearly 500 million views. We HATE that.

YOU hate that. I honestly do not give a shit about Beiber or what he does. I have better things to do than hate some kid just because I'm not fond of his music. Hell I don't think even Micheal Vick got this amount of shit from people and he held dog fights.

First of all, the prejudice is because he has succeeded where most males have not without being hyper-masculine. Secondly, he is young, and people view those younger than them in their own gender to be a threat

I find that he's a Disney clone created to make them money, who will then burn out spectacularly as soon as the ruby on his hand starts flashing, to be the real reason I loathe what he's doing.


I thought we stopped young kids being used for slavery some time ago. Not just re-wired them into thinking it was all their own will.

*cough* Zak Effron, Hanson, Busted *cough*

I think they're talking about how he gave some of his hair to Ellen Degeneras and she auctioned it off and the highest bid was about that. Am I right?

Oh they sold his hair for $40,000... Wait! That's no better, who has that kind of money to spend on a celebrities hair?

Sad, lonely people I'm guessing. It went to charity though.

Yeah, there's worse things it could go to. At least he's not making even more money then he has

Class Not too far from the truth to be fair. We know bieber will be thrown to the side, chewed up by the music industry as soon as his balls drop, (which all things aside, is pretty sad for him, it's probablly on his mind all the time, it's not HIS fault it's Disneys.) hopefully it will be during the production of his film.

Which to be fair I don't see the point in existing, he's only 16, even if he is a pop star, being only 16 there's barely anything he could've done that's worth making a movie out of it, he's just not old enough to have done that much, I mean Lemmy is a rock and roll legend, and has done some crazy shit over the years; bam! exciting movie. The most rock n roll thing Bieber is going to have done is refuse to do the washing up or some shit. It's just bizzare how people want to make a film about him, let alone watch it.

I hate kids in general so he should not feel special about that. Although before I knew of him and i heard his song in my car I thought "Damn this girl has a high voice"

Also he seems to hate north Korea for some reason.

 

[Dr Snakeman]

Hating Beiber has entered the realm of Twilight hate. It's internet-cool to despise the guy.

Honestly, I just don't give a crap. I don't like his genre of music, so I don't listen to him. I don't think I've ever really listened to one of his songs, because I know I wouldn't like it.

In a few years, he'll lose his popularity, and some new singer will come along to entertain the thirteen-year-old girl demographic.

Yeah, we I first heard Ellen say "Justin Beiber gave me some hair" my mind just went "What! He's selling hair now!" but I was very glad to hear it was for charity purposes.

 

[Kyle Roberts]

i don't hate him i just dislike how annoying his fans get

 

[A Username Not In Use]

I'm sorry but he's a public figure, and as a public figure he does not have a right to say leave me alone. He chose to accept this life rather than turn it down he's got to live with it and if he wans the public to stop picking on him all he's got to do is retire from public life.

 

[Dexiro]

I lose all respect for celebrities that have no talent. They're screeching their face off on TV while half the female population wave their raging hard-ons at the screen praising them as the new messiah, this is something I want to see the end of.

 

[Sarge034]

I'll stop hating his "music" when he stops assualting my ears with it. Fair deal?

 

[warhammerfrog]

In a word representing the teenage male populice from australia. NO!!

 

[Broderick]

Im not sure if its just because im out of school or if its where I live, but the only place I hear about the guy is on msn and the escapist =P.

The guy sings music you dont like and maybe represents the bad parts of the music industry, ignore him. If a person you never met is effecting you negatively on an emotional level, thats quite the problem you have there. People throw around the word "hate" and treat it like its nothing, hate is a strong word, and if you truely hate this kid just because of his music, than thats another problem that shouldnt be there. His music is bad, then dont listen to it; His fanbase is annoying and irritating as a nail screaching across a chalkboard, thats not his fault.

TLDR: Ignore him if you dont like him, its not his fault his fans can be considered "annoying" by some. He is a human being, and im sure you wouldnt want death threats thrown at you daily just for doing what you enjoy(and getting paid enormous sums for doing so).

I'll stop hating him when he gets some musical talent.

 

[Mantonio]

He's a product of a soulless music industry, loved by millions of tween girls (and only tween girls) but will be utterly forgotten within a decade. He's like the same reason people like Twilight - not because it's in any way good literature, but because it's made to appeal to Stupid Kids (tm).

Plus, you know, there's the fact that my family work hard for a living, yet we'll make less money in all of our collective lifetimes than he will before he's 18. There's some resentment there.

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

I just posted a massive reply in another thread with a similar topic. Can't really be bothered regurgitating something I've said to far too many people, so I'll just quote it

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?
