Why Is Everybody Hating Justin Bieber

Naggy, On the flip side, your daughters probably want to drink when you listen to your music/tech podcast/talk radio. Hogan
How bally dare you! The Home Service is good and wholesome. Though they do listen to Magic a lot, which I find bearable.

There are some large threads on the forum recently hating on Justin Bieber. Some food for thought: * If you don't like his music, don't listen to it. * Just because he looks different than you doesn't mean you have to call him a girl. Remember, if you're reading this, you're in IT and you're probably weird, and probably awkward. * (For Parents) Remember what its like when somebody picks on your kid... * If he is retiring from music, I'm personally jealous! He got in, made tons of money and can now do whatever he wants. The rest of us will continue going to work. Hogan

Because it is the internet !!!!
I'd rather be phishing!

Believe it or not I have a kind of super power: I've barely listened to any of his songs, at much 4 or 5 times in total and not complete. There are really not much things that I care less about... No hate, no love here. Without knowing if that is the case (but given his age probably is) I don't like the idea of those groups that are created in labs: a group of boys and girls that are manufactured to be loved, neither those ones that come from TV shows... But again, in this case I can't say anything...

Its sort of a fad to hate him. Unfortunate for him, but does he really care that much? He has a butt load of money and a large fan base. If he does care he should take a lesson from Nickleback, which also is faddish to hate (although I do not like their music... But I would not say hate). I seem to remember the head man to Nickleback making some statement about the "Haterz". Something along the lines of, people do it because it is cool (to hate us). That is OK. We love what we do and we get paid a lot to do it and clearly not everyone hates us.

This isn't about what Justin thinks of your statements. Its about respecting others around you. I learned this the hard way... I was quite down on President George W. Bush when he was in office and after. I happen to be a fan of the current US president. That being said, others around me say many hateful things about a man I respect. While they have a right to their own opinion, I'm not a fan of it. More importantly, I realized how I may have made others feel when I was down on President Bush. Learning respect for others even when you disagree with them. Its one thing to make factual statements about aspects of his music, its another to declare it cr@p because you don't enjoy it. I'm not saying a better person, but I'm always trying to become a better person. Hogan

I think music stars get a lot of hate they don't deserve in order to balance out all the obsessive fan worship they don't deserve, either. It's nature's way of making sure being a celebrity isn't too easy. I generally ignore both the haters and the worshipers if I can.

It's merely a continuation of what has gone on for generations, my parents hated the music I listened to, my grand-parents hated the music by parents listened to...etc. This person is the face of current pop music and therefore a fun and convenient target. Far be it from me to question human nature, let us old people have our fun.

I have great respect for anyone who can make a living in the entertainment industry, let alone carry home large truckloads of cash. I've never heard any of his music, so I can't speak to the quality of it. The general consensus seems to be that it's shallow tripe with no value. If that's true (and I know it must be because I read it on the Internet), I would think the greater concern would be not his art but rather the fact that millions of people like shallow tripe with no value. He's simply following the oldest rule in show biz: give the people what they want. Of course, it's probably just the backlash from overexposure coupled with the mindset of "in order for what I like to be good, everything else must suck." Every generation goes through that, and most never get over it. When I played rock and roll in the 70s, I had a Disco Sucks t-shirt because I was young, arrogant, narrow minded, and hey, everyone else had one! These days I'm happy to like what I like and allow others to do the same. If I had it to do over again, the t-shirt I'd wear would be Mean People Suck. And no, I still can't dance. :-D

That may be true but you are talking about people that watch videos on youtube which have humiliating seens that often look quite painful. Society is fraked up. Great if you as an individual are beyond the majorities of the people in society. Its not just about the respect of a person though. The last few months of watching the "Console Wars" shows this. There were some crazy smart people involved in making and getting both the PS4 and XBox One to market. Yet the fanbois and haterz come out and thrash and trash with out any regard to them or these companies. While a company is certainly different than an individual, because of the separation (not being involved with the individual or company first hand) to many it is the same. IMO it is quite simply. If you are in the spotlight expect crap treatment. Don't like it, then get out (which is what he is doing). There is no way around it. There is always criticism and often people make professions out of doing so, and on top of that it is clear the people that do so understand they will receive criticism right back. But they have thick skins and can take it. Take TMZ for example. Many hate them. Yet they love what they do and will continue to do it.

Everybody loves him. Especially since he said he quits. I have never heard his voice nor I want to. Although it's always fun to pick on him. I don't know why, it just is.

This is why I would be so happy if he'd retire from the business: I wouldn't have the read every day about his latest "mistakes" he did, like doing drugs or visiting a certain establishment. I don't care about him at all. In fact: I would be more than happy if everyone just stopped talking about him. This involves people like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Michael Schuhmacher (nothing against him and I wish him all the best), etc. They are still just some random humans (true, maybe rich and famous) but they did nothing that really is of any importance to mankind (Yeah, I'm not really of any importance to mankind either, but you don't have to read about me in every newspaper around the world too). Sure, you can skip those article if you're not interested (which I do), but you'll still have read at least the headline and will already now "uuh... (s)he did that... well... that's great... now... why's that important again?" In fact, in my opinion, news about those so called celebrities should be removed from all general newspapers and they should let those magazines dedicated to unimportant gossip cover the stories about them.

Then you will need to learn to be satisfied with one page newspaper where half the page is covered with name of the newspaper. May be less. I don't know how much is printed about other stories.
