Bandwagon hate

[Smithy]

There seems to be a lot of it recently, hating on stuff just cause everyone else is, what do you notice people seem to hate for no reason for example

1D - Im not even a fan, but they've got some catchy songs and yeah, they're overrated as hell but they do get a lot of undeserved hate :shrug:

New Simpsons eps, yes there are a lot more dud episodes now but there's still quite a few good ones

GaGa I think people just hate cause she went really weird for a bit and did the whole gay thing, but her music's still amazing and i'll say no more http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/9f1de191.gif

Simon Cowell shows too, why do people always want him to fail and for BGT/XF to do terribly in the ratings idgi

but yeah, what bandwagon hate have you noticed :pipe:

[Marc]

I used to like Gaga (first few songs; first album was great) but I hate her now because she's just strange. If she was a fun relatable normal person I wouldn't dislike her.

[Jake.]

Big Brother hate seems to be one, I'm with the whole 'if you don't like it, just don't watch thing'.
1D, again as you said, not a fan but I don't hate them to any lengths.

Yes it's a source of contant amusment to me I mean why hate on anyone who is doing well,infact why,hate on anyone.

[GiRTh]

the Simon Cowell hate is justified IMO. His shows are very manipulative, its about time there was a backlash.

You're excused.

people want Simon Cowell shows to fail because he's an exploitative soulless tycoon who has about as much place in music as a styrofoam cup. He's responsible for the embarrassment and mental breakdowns of hundreds of people, and encourages a society of public shaming and hatred of anything 'weird'. He's also responsible for some terrible, terrible music - Il Divo, Sinitta, Cher Lloyd, Sam & Mark, Angelis... just take a look at the Syco roster, and how long their shelf life was, or is going to be (hey Jonathan & Charlotte, hey Ryan OSHSUSNAUSNsunnessy): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syco_Music

and he really can't preach about working hard to get success - his dad was an EMI executive. Go figure. And he supports the conservatives. And he's just not ****ing funny, or bitchy. Just a prick.

[Shaun]

and no, no good new simpsons eps. no. just nope. nada.

[Brother Leon]

Gaga is hardly hated on compared to others. Justin Bieber is one of the worst. It's one thing to hate his music, but the way some really hate and wish ill on a teenager is worrying.

All true apart from this one, it does kill the music industry for the sake of 'entertainment'

[Marc]

I like Simon Cowell :shrug:

[Lee.]

I love Simon Cowell :love:

I don't get the bandwagon hate for Coldplay though.. It seems to have become really "uncool" to like them, which is odd seeing as they're ****ing awesome!

[Shaun]

Coldplay is the big one, yes. Not the best band in the world, nor have they ever been, but very good overall (sadly most of it's in the past).

[Smithy]

He said rape happens for a reason. When asked to try out veganism, he made a big show of gagging on and spitting out a vegan steak that had been ordered for him. When he visited Anne Franks house, he wrote in the guest book that he hoped “she would have been a belieber”. He’s a spoiled little brat.

I think it's ok to hate on justin bieber

[GiRTh]

Coldplay are a great band. Who 's hating on them?

[Jake.]

I can't stand Bieber, because he comes across as a genuine ****. Would never wish death on the kid, but he's an arse.

[Kazanne]

We wern't there this could all be hearsay we never really know a person unless we know them personally,we just go on what we hear and read,I like to give people the benefit of the doubt untill I find out otherwise.

[Marc]

Again.. I like Coldplay :shrug:

Nothing wrong with the last two at all and if it wasn't Bieber it wouldn't be News.

[Jake.]

Coldplay are a great band

[Kazanne]

I think sometimes people hate on someone because they think it's 'hip and cool' to do so ,or they dont like to admit they like someone for fear of getting chastised by their 'friends'

[Smithy]

No, it's not all hearsay at all, he said it all in interviews/on tv/wrote it in a book that millions of people will see when they go to anne franks house

[Gstar]

Coldplay are awesome -confused-

Channel 5 hate is the main one imo but that's justifiable

He signed Rachel Crow. :shocked:

Right there is one prime example of Cowells cold manipulative nature.

[Joelle.]

Muse are another band who I've noticed are uncool to like. I don't get why though I find most of their music refreshing and a bit different. Is it just since their popularity has risen they're now 'too commercial'?

There is way too much 'hating commercial music' these days. Fair enough a lot if is genuinely terrible, but if you like something, you like it. Shouldn't matter how 'indie' or how popular it is either way idgi. :suspect:

[GiRTh]

I dont get all the hate for Jessie J. She's a bit annoying but she's also very talented.

[Cherie]

congrats on grasping the point of the thread

:conf: there was never any doubt Kaz got the thread.

[Lee.]

I dont get all the hate for Jessie J. She's a bit annoying but she's also very talented.

I detest everything about her

[GiRTh]

I detest everything about herLOL Why?

I'm quite attracted to her, so I'm a bit biased.

[Withano]

Sorry.. But I think you're getting bandwagon hate confused with common opinion..

Her voice is pretty stunning (her range omg) its just the type of music she puts out and her image and persona that some people find cool to hate. I like her tbh :shrug:

[Lee.]

LOL Why?

I'm quite attracted to her, so I'm a bit biased.

Well first of all I ****ing hate her voice.. It puts me on edge and makes me want to kick things, secondly, she is loud and I really hate loud people.. Thirdly, she is a self-obsessed show off, and I really hate show offs... And lastly, she's just overrated ****

[AnnieK]

Well that's pretty conclusive then...:laugh:

It wasn't hard,but thanks:hugesmile:

[Ryan57]

Bit of me is like this towards Barcelona. Wouldn't say hate... more dislike. :suspect:

[GypsyGoth]

I tend not to mind if a lot of people dislike celebs or things for no good reason, I feel I'm pretty good at making my own mind up.

Although I sometimes get pangs of jealousy, but that soon passes, and I try and be happy for those achieving things that I would like to achieve in my life.

I think there is a danger when you begin to let hate enter your heart, it does far more damage to you that the person you're hating on.

[Shaun]

Jessie J has a nice voice and is a good songwriter (PARTY IN THE USA, anyone?), but I do wish she'd stop the vocal acrobatics... it may be tricky to do, but it's unpleasant to hear.

[Lee.]

So so so unpleasant

[Kizzy]

I really like jessie, loved her early stuff.

[Withano]

but I do wish she'd stop the vocal acrobatics... it may be tricky to do, but it's unpleasant to hear.

There should be a show called Elongating syllables. Nobody would watch it but Jessie would win.

[Shaun]

I think she may just be keeping in trend with the ongoing infantilisation of women in pop culture lately... a lot of singers are singing with a childish, annoying nasal sound... and the age boundary around when a girl's deemed hot and sought-after seems to be a lot lower.

[GiRTh]

The music I grew up listening to, a little bit of showing off was the norm. I dont mind a bit of vocal acrobatics. And, it IS hard to do. A singer has to be very confident in their ability to even try some of the stuff she does. She knows she's a good singer.

Jessie's technique is impeccable. She's a bit of a female Luther Vandross. a superb technical singer but maybe there is something lacking in soul and passion. The pop records she produces do not do her voice justice and perhaps she has a tendency to over do it at times. Never the less she's very talented and will probably be around for a while if she plays her card right.

[Shaun]

I think the bits of her voice I mean are the kind-of scat breakdowns, and stutters she throws in.

[Ninastar]

the worst is tory/republican haters when they can't give their own evidence as to why they hate them.

fair enough if you have your political reasons for hating a party, but don't just say it because you think you know a lot.

i deal with it every day at work and it's infuriating. this same person thinks america bombed themselves on 9/11... total bandwagon jumper

[GiRTh]

I think the bits of her voice I mean are the kind-of scat breakdowns, and stutters she throws in.I see what you mean. My original point was that she was a bit annoying and I agree those bits are annoying. I just dont understand why she's hated. She's a bit annoying but for me, she talented enough to get away with being a bit annoying. Others I could name have no where near her talent and are much much more annoying.

[reece(:]

I don't hate Bieber, I hate his fangirls, as for his music - it's just not my cup of tea. GaGa... not a fan of the music nor the fans either and she's gotten more annoying with age.. Cowell and his creations are mostly generic which is why I don't like them. I wouldn't go as far as hating someone for it though... :shrug:

[Z]

I feel like this thread ought to deal with one thing at a time, I have so many opinions and I don't know where to begin, so I'll just start and maybe Smithy can take over and decide when we should move on :laugh: 'cause I think this is a pretty good thread idea, people can explain why they think something is hated on.

Lady GaGa I think is hated on because she debuted as this cool party girl type with her first couple of songs and I think she earned herself a certain type of crowd following. I didn't like that image, personally, but I know a lot of people did. Just Dance, Pokerface, LoveGame... she had a definite sound, image and popstar persona there. I don't know if that's who she "really" is, but that's how she presented herself to the world when she debuted.

I think the hate kicked in when she completely changed her image and started being weird, strange and made a point of being different, standing for difference, representing all that is alternative and different. It was a complete overhaul. Suddenly, the fanbase she appealed to originally was no longer who she wanted to appeal to, so I think that's where it started. The media jumped at the chance to poke fun at her because she was suddenly wearing meat dresses and Kermit the frog dresses and that was just fine by her because it strengthened her whole "I'm representing difference" aim. I don't know if that's who she really is either, because she's chopped and changed what she stands for so many times throughout her career already, and to be perfectly honest, it detracts from the extremely talented singer, songwriter and dancer that she is. I think I would like Lady GaGa if her talents were at the forefront of her pop career. But to me, a casual listener, it's all style over substance - because the style is just so over the top, that it takes away from what's really there behind the image. I think people hate her because it comes across as fake, changing what you stand for so dramatically, and I think people hate her because it comes across as fake, making a choice to stand out so flamboyantly in the way that she does.

[Shaun]

she's vapid.

[Redway]

I don't get the bandwagon hate for Coldplay though.. It seems to have become really "uncool" to like them, which is odd seeing as they're ****ing awesome!

They used to be very good but I think they've gone a bit 'meh' now.
