Why do we hate Justin Beiber?

[BonsaiK]

He probably did go off at the camera crew though, and for someone surrounded by cameras every minute of every waking hour, who can blame him? Let's be honest, it would give anyone the shits after a while.

There are plenty of celebrities that are followed day and night and they don't lose their cool over nothing.

He didn't lose his cool over nothing, he lost his cool cos some guy he'd probably never met before was touching him, like any 16-year old kid would. I've done way worse things to people for touching me when I didn't want to be touched, and likely, so have you. The only difference is that Justin's movements get scrutinised and picked apart, whereas yours and mine don't.

1 because he's not that talented yet is popular
2 because it's fashionable to hate Justin Bieber

I'm sick of it I actually don't give a damn about him. I hate people more talking about him than actually acknowledging him

 

[Blood Countess]

I don't personally hate him.I don't know his music but I know it's pop nonsense.What I do hate is how in say youtube comments some asshole is brings him up in say a Judas Priest video, why?

as for the person, no opinion since I don't do mtv 18 or whatever and not the radio either

 

[DMonkey]

Because internet culture is full of sad people who nit pick every popular thing that a large group of people enjoy so that they can feel better about themselves.

He is a fad. Twilight is a fad. At one point hot neon pink spandex, and huge hair was a fad. Mullets were a fad for crying out loud. We enjoy pretending to be imaginary people in make believe worlds. Is that no less ridiculous?

It is scientifically proven that older males find younger males to be a threat to them.

Actually I haven't. If someone is touching me and I don't like it then I ask them to stop. Yes, I may include a swear word or too but I don't lose it completely. Justin is supposed to be a professional and if he can't handle a little exsessive touching then maybe he's not mature enough to handle a singing career. I understand if you don't agree but that's just how I see it.

 

[Purple Shrimp]

I would have no idea who he even was if it wasn't for the internet suddenly informing me that I should hate him

 

[Nikolaz72]

If this is about youtube comments then its the community. Someone on escapist see's the youtube folks act this way gets confused (Since they probably havent thought about youtube commenters being those that just learned how to type on the internet and havent found any forum to write on yet) and takes it to escapist. And thats how theese threads are made.

 

[Casual Shinji]

He's basically an accumulation of all the things that are wrong with the music industry.

It's nothing personal though.

 

[mew1234321]

In the beginning, I refused to hate on him, 'till I heard his music, and found that fairly average, as music goes, nothing to hate, really. But then the whole thing exploded and I'm left with 2 reasons he can just go to hell.

1. Why the hell is he so huge? His origin story reads like the most retarded deus ex machina in all time. This shit would get rejected from a kindergarten writing session, and top story of the day would get awarded to Laura's tale of a hippopotamus in her bathroom. As someone trying desperately to start a band, it really pisses me off. You've got to start out by playing shows in terrible back alley pubs, and then get accosted by 5 men on your way out, thereby waking up the next morning with a broken arm and no money. That's the way to go.

2. Holy Mother of Pearl Christ, those are some rabid fangirls. I have this same problem with Twilight. I admit, that they're both fine for what they are (in Twilights case, Stephanie Meyers masturbatory aide) but when I have to spend hours listening to fangirls gush about How Cute He Is, or How Luscious His Hair Is, I just want to stab someone in the eyes.

 

[Random Fella]

Because he's a little ******.

 

[OrpheumZero]

Because he isn't nearly as "cool" as people make him out to be. Ignoring his bad hairstyle and cliched wardrobe, he's also just not all that talented. You could take one of his songs, give it to another kid his age, and odds are people wouldn't know the difference.

I haven't seen any evidence that he "lost it completely" during that incident. As far as I can tell, he did exactly what you just described you yourself would do in a similar situation:

If someone is touching me and I don't like it then I ask them to stop. Yes, I may include a swear word or too

All that happened was:

Our floor manager was directing him to where he was about to perform and he turned around to Nick and said ?don?t ever f**king touch me again? and Nick went ?What??,? Koch told the Mike E and Carmela in the Mix breakfast show.

?And then his sound guy, his audio guy said ?don?t take offence mate he tells us that all the time?.

The suggestion that Justin's audio guy played off the incident like it was nothing indicates that it was, in fact, not a big deal and people are blowing it all out of proportion, because that's what happens when you're embroiled in teen stardom - people get every little thing you do and inflate it into some massive, huge, big deal, when it's not. It's just a kid having a bit of a tantrum because he's feeling a bit crowded. So what, big deal. This happens every day to millions of kids. Move along, nothing to see here.

(Personally I'd relish the opportunity to attack some TV show floor manager physically for touching me just on principle, some of those people are complete assholes and certainly deserve a few hits to the face. The only thing that's saved them so far is there's always so many damn cameras around...)

 

[Wintermoot]

he,s overated
his lyrics suck
his fanbase is insane
he,s stuck up (he once pushed a little kid during laser gaming and once pushed a kid from a demo xbox)

 

[Gruevy]

He's just the musician to hate right now. Every few years or so, some youngster makes it big in the music industry and everyone goes nuts about it, while other peeps get sick of the hype and post angry comments on YouTube spreading h8 'round like sex-deprived roosters being released into a henhouse. The first I can recall was Avril Lavigne, then Hillary Duff, and right before Bieber came onto the scene, everyone was pouring h8 gravy over Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.

Also, lol@:

It's not hate, it's confusion.

 

[Buddywazzizname]

Because my niece never shuts up about him, ever.

And it's damn awkward enough coming from barracks to visit my half-brother (a vegitarian and a pacifist, because life is like that) without the whole damn house vibrating to the words; 'BABY!, BABY!'.

 

[Reveras]

I suppose the major reason would be that his popularity is indirectly proportional to his contribution/talent/hard-work for the industry. Also the haters hate his music. Plus he hasn't heard of Germany (the accuracy of this fact remains a mystery but if true...wow)..just wow!

He just has a niche fanbase and it turns out that its a very, very vocal fanbase.

Your avatar is made of win. Jeremy ftw.

OT: I'm not a fan of his music, actually who am I kidding, I can't stand it for the life of me, but I still don't manage to understand how so much of the world's population actually likes him. Want pop music? Mark Anthony, Rob Thomas, goddamn Sting, The Script, The Verve, Gary Go; there, said enough new bands and such to keep everyone happy and I could go on for hours -.-.

 

[Lieju]

I don't hate him.

No-one is forcing me to listen to his songs, I don't overheard them, and the even if he is a douche, the world is full of them.

So I don't care. Only times I've ever heard of him was by people who complained about him or his fans.

 

[Bernzz]

-big snip-

A floor manager was simply guiding him to where he was performing. He then lost it at him for no reason whatsoever.

And I think his audio guy playing it off doesn't make it okay. There's a difference between joking around with friends, and using said same joke on someone you don't know and so doesn't know a thing about it. You could make, for example, dead baby jokes with friends and they'd all laugh. Would you make those jokes with a random stranger, who may get offended by them? You wouldn't. So even if his outburst wasn't an immature apeshit scenario, he still shouldn't have said it.
