I just think you dislike popular music in general.

In answer to the thread, she isn't overhyped etc. I think Bieber, Sheeran and others are very overhyped compared to Taylor. I can't go five bloody minutes without hearing Despacito at the minute.

Of course music has evolved, but not for the better. If it was better then why do so many people look back on previous decades with fondness and laugh at how awful music's become? Almost every song in the charts these days has a featuring artist with some rapper stuck in the middle of it rapping about cars, hoes and sex. Nothing about it is groundbreaking or revolutionary. Most of what's in the charts seem to have been dumbed down. Of course, we've always have embarrassing songs but this decade seems to have eclipsed all that and got worse.

What you said about me disliking popular music in general is so far from the truth. I think Lana Del Rey is great and so is Lorde... but that's just two examples. Taylor is definitely overhyped right now. You can't browse any website or listen to radio or watch tv without hearing about her. By the time this era is over she'll be more hyped than Ed Sheeran ever was....which basically equates to being spoon fed to the masses and forced to listen to or enjoy something some of us never gave a sh!te about in the first place. Thank f^ck I have my own mind and don't fall in line with everybody else.
