Hi Hello
Slap the back of my hand and give me a time out, I'm sorry I didn't post Sunday or yesterday...but you know, life. I'm a busy person, I know I say that all the time that I'm late with posting but I am. I got two jobs and school its a lot in a day. Anyways...I'm still posting this week so get over it.
I realized that I talk about music or bands that I love all the time, but I never tell you about the artists or bands that I don't like....until today.
Lets jump in... (note: these are my opinions, they are not fact so don't go all nuclear on me..)
First off, Nirvana. I have never liked Nirvana. I tried to get into them, I would listen to their music constantly to try and find a song that I would like just so I would 'fit in' but honestly...I hated all of their songs. One of the main reasons would be that I never really got into the whole "grunge" scene and I hate Kurt Cobain's voice. There I said it. I hate Kurt Cobain's voice and I wasn't a fan of his lyrics either. Honestly, in my opinion the only good thing to come from Nirvana was Dave Grohl. I love that guy, but its not enough to make me like Nirvana.
Kanye West. Everything about this guy is revolting to me. I hate his music, I hate his attitude, I just don't like him or his work. Trust me, I did try and give him a chance because I am a firm believer in giving artists and bands a chance but, again, I never got into his music. Then I started to see how he presents himself in public and at events and I started to dislike his personality as well. I just think he is a rotten person.
Third band I don't like...Coldplay. *gasps* Its true. I never got on that Coldplay bandwagon. Their music just didn't do anything for me. I am one of those people that need to feel something when I listen to music, I need to have some type of reaction. If I have a positive reaction to a song or group of songs then I'm hooked on the artist and my appreciation for them will grow. When I first heard Coldplay there was nothing. I felt nothing, I had no reaction, I just sat there and started to drift off in my mind. I didn't even pay attention to the song that was playing. So I tried again and again and again and the same thing happened. They just don't do it for me. Not a fan.
Justin Bieber. Surprise, many people don't like him, but in superficial ways. I don't like his music and the way that presents himself in public and at events. Just like Kanye, I don't like Justin for the same reason. There were a few songs by Justin when he first came out that I didn't mind and would tap a foot too but as his fame grew and his music grew with him and his personality started to become more cocky and arrogant I started to lose interest in him as a person and as an artist.
Finally, Taylor Swift. *shots fired* I said it. I don't like Taylor Swift. I never had. I'm not a big country music fan and when she was a country artist I didn't like the repetitiveness of her music. Not the whole "she only writes about relationships" because lets face it, everyone writes about relationships..its one of the easiest things to write about. I didn't like her music because they all sounded the same..all her songs just sounded like the last. Then when she started becoming increasingly popular I noticed her at more events and talk shows and I just was put off by her personality. She just annoyed me a bit. Then I saw her perform at award ceremonies and honestly, I thought that her performances were fake...not genuine. That is just what I thought. And her song "Shake It Off" honestly annoys me like no other. Now, with all her trademarking crap, I'm starting to think she's becoming a diva. I don't like divas. And the fact that she calls everyone her best friend gets on my nerves as well...I'm sorry honey, but not everyone is your best friend.
Well...I got a bit more annoyed writing this post than I thought, but those are just some artists and bands that I cannot get into and just don't like. I tried listening to their music on multiple accounts and nothing works for me.
Everyone has artists or bands that they don't like and probably will never like, you just have to accept their opinions and it doesn't make them less of a person or "less knowledgeable" of music than the next. Like I previously said in an earlier post, music taste is relative, its different for each person. Its an opinion.
Until next time my misfits,
Stefanie
