If I'm not careful, I'm going to get salty about stupid music opinions again.

#OTHER people's music opinions. not mine. MINE are great OBVIOUSLY. #OKAY OKAY. people can disagree with me over the quality of art that is ALWAYS 100% FINE #I just...idk. you can usually tell when the opinions are based on a sense of entitlement and elitism and like...EXTREMELY bad-faith #interpretations? most music opinions I disagree with are from the standpoint of just. #not understanding what the artist was trying to do or willfully ignoring the good parts because it wasn't specifically what YOU the #INDIVIDUAL LISTENER wanted. #(or--not quite as common but still prevalent--refusing to acknowledge the bad because that makes you feel better) #the thing is. when people who ACTUALLY thoughtfully put together lists/opinion pieces--critics like todd or diamond axe studios #or mr 96--even if I disagree with them they make their case in clear terms to the point where I see where they're coming from #you know like *I* didn't see the song this way (for good or for bad) but I can see how THEY would #plenty of people uh...do not approach music opinions like that lol. they'll just #call a band/artist a sell-out without looking at the wider context of their discography or evaluating possible reasons WHY #they would choose to move in that musical direction. they also. MUCH OF THE TIME. don't clarify what they MEAN when they say that either #(also people are waaaaaayyy too precious about clear genre divisions imo but. I don't have the brainspace to fully discuss that rn) #like ''sell-out'' doesn't mean 'has a poppier or more electronic sound' I'm gonna have to put that term on the shelf with the rest of them #unhinged lady screams about music #ugh I really gotta finish that 'discussing the best and worst of the punk goes pop/rock/etc. albums' project I started #(remember those? they sure were a thing that happened!) #maybe THAT'S the New Year's Resolution™ finish a fucking music critique video like I keep saying I will
