and this is why i wanted to discuss this

the generation old enough to remember life before the intenet

but young enough to still be hip

gotta raise the next gen

we are our only hope

may the force be with us — always

twitter music users are awful

People from different backgrounds bring different perspectives that have value. That's basic human social economics, to suggest segregation or out right dismiss other people purely because of their background is discrimination. That's how you hold yourself back and it's embarrassing you don't realize or care about what you're suggesting.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and you can simply ignore it. That should never change

RODEO BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME

TYLER IS THE FIRST RAPPER TO SING

J COLE IS TOO REAL FOR YOU

thank you for sharing

i shake my head every time

If it were up to Saint this guy wouldn't be allowed to live how he chooses

fans are free to like what they like; I feel like they put enough pressure on critics to not let them go batshit with opinions. its an imperfect but fine dynamic.

it was def a lot worse back when you had no internet and actually had to rely on magazines and mtv to find music. at best you had paid curation and at worst you had payola

Worst thing is how 20 years later they come back and change their reviews cause it’s unpopular to hate on the album now

I SHAKE MY HEAD EVERY TIME

calling Shrek a critic is an insane overstatement. hes a curator at best

Nobody said he was a critic

most coward s*** ever lol maybe my biggest critic pet peeve

does curation not involve critique?

in a "lying by omission" sort of way

Again, if they don't even understand the point of the music, how the f*** can they provide value? Having an opinion isn't inherently valuable the same way having an opinion isn't inherently useless. It's important to learn first before you criticize something. What's the reason people use the phrase "real rap fans" "casual fans"? What's the reason why sometimes people bring up "well he's white" so I get it. All these questions are often valid.

appreciate the discussion y'all

not really, you say what you like first and dissect music second, not the other way around

stick to your guns, you didn't get it when it first came out don't act like you suddenly do because that's the cool thing to do

what's an album you
love that most people don't

They just expose how out of touch and trend chasing they really are

All to sell some ads

this could be flooded with rolling stone reviews

I saw way too many of em liking posts by 15 year old female brockhampton fans s*** was vile
