Music and Bieber

Music has changed a lot in the past twenty or so years. There are so many different types now to satisfy any person of any taste. I couldn’t even begin to get into detail about the types that alone would take a whole paragraph.
The point of this blog is about music and people’s taste though. How if there is a certain type a person doesn’t like they make it known very well. Which is all good and grand, it is just when you rub into someone who enjoys it and makes it seem like it is crap even though that is just your opinion.
Let me take for example, pop music. A lot likes it, but there are some that cannot stomach it. They prefer the more acoustic type of music, or rock. Which is great, but don’t make people who like it feel like they aren’t smart just because they listen to it. Just because you prefer the guitar with no added technology then ok, but that doesn’t make you smarter. If you say that you don’t like it because they don’t have talent and they just mess with the voices to make themselves sound better, then that is a reason. You don’t like that, ok; but the beats still are catchy and people like it, just don’t listen to it.
But there are some out there that don’t do that; Justin Bieber is one of them. He can actually sing without added humph to his voice. He can perform in concert and not pull a Ashley Simpson, he can play all kinds of instruments and put on a show. Yes the craze with some of the fans is extreme, sometimes too much; but look back in the past at other musicians. Michael Jackson, his fans were crazy about him; you can even go back to the Beetles. When they were first starting not many people knew of them, but once they hit stardom, they had crazed fans who loved them, mostly girls. Elvis is another one that had girls screaming for him. So why is that because Bieber has crazed fans also he is stupid or retarded?
You may not like his music, you may not think he is cute, but he is talented. He maybe one of the only few artists that actually can perform these days. While his fans may get a little out of control, you cant hold that against him, just remember that even back in the 50s and 60s, fans did the same thing.
I personally enjoy all kinds of music; I like rock to pop to the indie stuff. But sometimes the indie stuff gets a little annoying, as does the pop stuff. But it is all on taste and people need to understand that. While there are some untalented people out there that somehow get careers while the ones that actually try and do good music get crap.
Sometimes people just need to explore and actually look into artists before you make an opinion about them.
