I agree with the above though I note that Nikki Webster was possibly worse than Bieber. Google her song strawberry kisses if you hate yourself and want to self flagellate with earworms.
Oh man I would read/watch the shit out of Edward Cullen and the Century of Cockblock.
I think it's more that as you age you realise that a pretty face is transient and time is too short to listen to shit that's going to get stuck in your head for days on end and not give you any actual enjoyment.Have you considered you may be old?
Musical tastes do solidify with age, they say....
I don't think this is due to musical tastes solidifying with age at all, I recognise that most of the music I've been enjoying in my teenage years is trash, it's just that it's familiar trash while Bieber is new trash (actually it's now old trash too).Have you considered you may be old?

Buckets are actually pretty good aids in teaching someone how to sing in tune, because the acoustics in there makes the sound waves bounce straight back to the ear, and they can hear how shit they sound more easily, so they try harder to fix it.Considering I listen to the likes of Skrillex, Macklemore, Mary Lambert, and Of Monsters and Men--in addition to just about everything from Prohibition-era blues and swing to KMFDM...
...yeah, I'm gonna hazard a guess that age and calcified musical tastes aren't much of a factor. I just have sufficiently good hearing in my advanced age to know when someone's off-key and can't carry a tune with a bucket.
Careful saying that near him, he's been known to get punchy.
Fucking autotune is half the reason why a bunch of chart-topping performers can't fucking sing a note.
But does anyone actually admit to liking Bays Transformers?
The newest one was fun. Number 3 didn't make me want to blow my brains out. So there's that.
I wonder how many people watch it ironically
One and Two were fun if all you wanted was giant robots and dumb action.
There was way too much of Shia Lebeowulf and Morgan Foxx, way too little giant robots. If you're making a transformers movie, make Optimus Prime the main character, not some idiot who finds an Autobot in disguise.
I never said they couldn't have been better at giant robots and dumb action.
Most complaints I've heard about this have been only on SB and SV, and have stated that the show, action, and choreography is good but the main character seems to drain all agency from the supporting cast. That is hardly the most negative commentary I've heard about a show or fandom, unless I have missed some things.
Do you mind being more specific?
I like it.
Actually, I meant what I said about punk music in all seriousness.Now where did I save that "Obvious Troll is Obvious" image?
For those that care (all none of you) the reason a lot of punk music sounds so rediculously lo-fi was that it began as a backlash against the slick, overproduced music being pumped out by record labels. The entire punk aesthetic was built around the notion of eschewing a polished, marketable image and instead being intentionally raw, grating, and real. This wasn't even an entirely new concept, just not something that was picked up and promoted. That doesn't mean there weren't plenty of punk bands who could, in fact, carry a tune--or that guttural, growling vocals are necessarily incompatible with skilled musicianship and proper pitch. Hell, blues and jazz musicians had been rocking that combination for decades. Ever heard of Tom Waits or Lois Armstrong?
Of course, it doesn't help that most people's exposure to punk consists largely of exaggerated charactures played up in popular media for satire, or the crap the labels started churning out to try and capitalize on punk's popularity--which arguably isn't that different from the boy bands we've been discussing. None of it reflects actual punk music as a genre.
Honestly, the plethora of chart-topping "musicians" with no musical skill to speak of has less to do with autotune (it predates that invention by a large margin) and more to do with the recording industry's shift from marketing music to just plain marketing. Autotune exists because the recording industry considers musicianship to be a secondary priority in it's "artists," not because it signed a bunch of photogenic, marketable "musicians" before realizing they couldn't sing.
Nah, I think we have to blame Youtube for Bieber. Also pre-teen girls.
