Why all the hate for Justin Bieber?

[Araethuiel]

I don't as such... Apathy, maybe, but not hate...

I think for most people it's down to one thing; she's marketed to ten year old girls. Everyone else pretty much doesn't care, or gets annoyed when it's thrown at us with the obnoxious adverts everything is thrown in our faces with... the more baaaah-ish of us outright dislike her simply because it's easy/cool/popular/stupid.

I dislike pop music in general. So yeah I have some antipathy towards HRT-patient-of-the-near-future justin but no more than I did LibertyX, Boyzone, Sclub7, Hearsay or Steps...

It's trendy to dislike popular things.

Wait, so if disliking popular things is a trend, wouldn't that mean you have to dislike disliking popular things? You seem to have created a paradox.

OT: I dislike his music and persona, and it's so easy to make jokes about him.

Not really. There are people here hating the haters, so this is how it works. Lots of people like the music. This means that a moderate amount hate it, which then requires a few people to be ambivalent about the music, but hate those who hate it. Does that make sense? Typing coherently with an iPod is rather difficult...

Reason why I LOVE him: He cyber attacked someone by posting their number on his Twitter.

Why I hate him: He is full of himself. His music isn't actually very good. He is writing a memoir about his life.(hes 16 and got famous off a Youtube video what is there to write?) He is making a 3-d Movie about his life (same reason as the memoir).

I dont mind the kid. I mean, he's prepubecient, and once he gets big, he's giong to implode, just like hannak montana did. It just bothers me that he, like all disney stars, have that sense of, "I'm pure, so i'm better then you, but i wont say so, cause then i wouldnt seem so sugar sweet." Show some goddamned celebrity-ness. Wreck a hotel, snort coke of a hooker, go to f-ing jail! Or at least get grounded. HIs big controversy so far has been something about a tattoo.
But its not even him. Its his fans. Or, atleast his fans and the dillwads who pretend to be. I mean hell, if you've been on youtube to listen to music, you've seen it. "Justin Bieber is better," or "these guys couldnt hold a candle to justin bieber," or my personal favorite, "These guys arent as cute as Justin Bieber, and they dont even sound like him." I dont need to see you dont like music like Alice in Chains, or Smashing Pumpkins, or Metallica, or Skillet, or any other band/musicians. And I definately dont need to see that the afore mentioned bands arnet "compareable" to JB. Everyone has their own sound, and thier own personal music likes. I dont care if you like JB, just as I'm sure his fans dont care that I like AiC. But they dont need to type or say that those bands suck because of it.

So, I guess for me, its that he doesnt act out, there's nothing there. He's squeaky clean, and while thats great for little boys to look up to and say he's popular and famous and doesnt act out, older people dont care. They want an edge, and he has none. Plus, his fans are pretencious f**k heads who need to shut the hell up about why bands with edge, or bands that are "good" to a more mature/grown-up/older crowd are mere waste in comparison to that pussy teenager from Canada. And yes, Canada, I am holding this against you.

Though I'd like to see JB fans get into a fight with MJ fans. Just to thin out the herd of people who piss my off about my musical aspect of life.

Maybe because his music is crap and the lyrics are about a cheap concept of love that has nothing to do with the real emotion of love?
He sings about a "love" that is nothing but a shallow infatuation.

Beiber and his "music" is a product created to put money in peoples pockets.
While as real music is a form of art that conveys a feeling or an emotion and is often timeless.
Nobody will remember him or his crap "talent" in 2 years and since his fanbase consist of 99% pre-pubecent girls, his career will not last passed his fanbase first menstrual cycle.

Also, if its hip to hate on popular things, how come there are note any haters for actual GOOD artists, whom has worked their way to the top, not given fame based on their looks and media coverage? (Like: John Lenon, Jim Morrison, Eric Clapton, Neil Young etc)
I will tell you why: Because they were not handed their fat paycheck from the getgo, they had to put in real feeling and effort into their songs, actually WORK for their paycheck.

I dont hate Beiber because he is popular, I hate him because he is boring, a shiny shell of nothing. And when i listen to music, i want to HEAR good music, not look at a pretty boy mediawhore. I feel bad for his fans, they are missing out on real music but instead they listen to the shallow crap that Beiber spits in their faces, while cashing in on it.

 

[The Austin]

He's a pre-pubescent 16 year old boy who thinks he's a love guru.

I think we all know that the only think that kid has ever loved is his right hand.

 

[Unhappy Crow]

I don't get it either. I just think he's overrated. *shrugs*

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I think you just pointed out the whole point of why everyone hates him.

He's average, nothing special and yet he is the biggest star in the world at the moment. He has millions of fans who cling to him and are willing to attack anyone who says otherwise, hell when the kid posed with Kim Kardashian, his horde of fans actually sent death threats to her. I think that's the most annoying thing about him, his mindless followers who actually believe that they will marry him. That is one of the major reasons I don't like him for.

 

[Simriel]

because we all need something to hate, I personality hate him because any music star that sings the most bland songs imaginable (I.E. Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, Jason Derulo, black eyed peas) do not deserve to be famous, they simply sing "safe" songs that have nothing unique about them and the public tends to eat it up, meanwhile any band who has a cool, new, interesting sound is buried by filth. Beiber is the worst offender, by singing nothing but sappy love songs and crappy R&B with no redeeming quality and it all of the sudden the biggest star on the planet dispute no one over 10 liking him.

music comparison:
music combining heavy metal, classical, a little bit of electronica and using a choir.<youtube=P5Ni-wrFwVs>
music combining kid's bop and auto tune... which one is more creative?

I had not heard of Dark Moor, I thank you.

 

[Jackhorse]

I personally hate him because hes the rorsarch projection material of all that is wrong in the modern music machine churning out songs for the masses. When I see Justin Bieber I do not just see just beiber but all those artists who have their mandated 15 minutes of fame dolled out by a passionless producer.
That his music is 'just okay' is not a good thing, that his image is normal and his videos tame should not be praised. All music should try and bring something new to the table I dislike Justin Bieber not for being Justin Bieber (I have never met him personally) but for being the symbol of the stagnating, risk free pop industry.

P.S. I only feel strong dislike and revulsion, not hatred
P.P.S writtin in the wee hours of the morn so expect spelling mistakes

 

[Spencer Petersen]

I don't really go out of my way to specifically hate him (not like those people who claim he's everything that's wrong with the music industry. Engage in hyperbole much?) but I do dislike him, partially because hes just a symbol of how quick the music industry, and popular culture for that matter, is to raise a person up on their shoulders and proclaim they are the second coming who will revolutionize all music and dump them off at the first sign of trouble. Another reason I'm rather put off by him is that in his music he seems to imply that, at his age, he has mastered everything there is to know about love. He really seems to me to just be making his rounds like a 3rd place American Idol contestant before eventually fading into obscurity when his appeal to younger girls begins to drain away.

 

[Freeze_L]

His songs are an insult to the English langue, his music is an insult to my tastes, and i am no % sure his goal writing, or copying as it seems to be, in writing music is to purposely disregard any terms of classical writing and dive head in giving listeners a chance to understand why English and writing classes are necessary. It would be nice for him to have a grasp of rhyme scheme, music theory, and the idea of not writing awful pop-music that will never be remembered in a few years, and will have no effect on the musical landscape. He has talent, a lot of it actually, but after he got a few nods from artists he somehow took that as an excuse to not learn music, its a craft and he is terrible craftsman.

 

[Nouw]

Because its cool to hate what's popular. If lots of people like it, it automatically sucks! Didn't you get the memo?

Please tell me you're kidding. EDIT:Hah just got the sarcasm >.>

Because it's apparently cool to hate him. Apparently -_-

 

[hannan4mitch]

In my opinion, Justin Bieber just horks up the same pop trash other bands just like him do.
It's also because of the contents of his songs are analysed, edited and controlled by corporate cronies to make sure his songs contain nothing that could be considered "offensive". It's just a pile of bland, grey sodden paper. Not to mention, his fans are some of the most annoying on this Earth.

 

[Xan Krieger]

Reason why I LOVE him: He cyber attacked someone by posting their number on his Twitter.

Why I hate him: He is full of himself. His music isn't actually very good. He is writing a memoir about his life.(hes 16 and got famous off a Youtube video what is there to write?) He is making a 3-d Movie about his life (same reason as the memoir).

I gotta admit that thing where he posted the guys number and the poor bastard got like 30,000 calls was hilarious. I really enjoyed that. Then I heard him sing and it's like trying to clean out your ears using a cactus. Getting my shorts caught on the top of a fence when I tried to hop it didn't hurt as much as listening to his voice.

 

[Treefingers]

Because she sucks.

 

[thenoblitt]

because he's 16 and has a ton of fame he doesnt deserve, he isnt that good of a singer, his songs arent that good just really crappy pop music and teen girls love him even though he's 16 and sounds like a 12 year old girl

 

[Turbo_Destructor]

I hate him because he is a product. Usher saw him on the net, packaged him, labelled him, and is now making masses of money off the little shit. The music is the worst kind of mass-produced bubble-gum pop and the kid's girly little voice combined with that stupid bloody hairdo are what make people call him gay. And he is an ignorant American brat, shown by the video posted earlier where the little mong doesn't know what the word "German" means.

hey dont dump the little dweeb on america hes a product of canada no matter what he says hell ill claim to like kanye west before i claim hes an american

haha My apologies, I did not intend this great insult to the American people, who are in general a pretty good bunch.

 

[Chechosaurus]

He's white Canadian teenager who thinks he's "gangsta". It's just plain annoying. The only person who can pull that off is J Rock, know what I'm saying?

(MASSIVE retarded internet prize for whoever gets that reference)

Also, his music is just beyond terrible and yet he's making money so I hate him for just stagnating the music industry even further.

And, c'mon.... Just look at him! He's a corporate whore and he doesn't even know it. Worst thing is, even f he did know it, he would probably love it.

 

[Bato]

I have the perfect analogy for this.
Justin Bieber is like Twilight.
JUST. LIKE. IT.
