You can send the Jonas Brothers there too if you'd like.

MAN MAKING FUN OF JUSTIN BIEBER IS SO COOL AND AWESOME !!!!

because he's a little shit and is the perfect example of music specifically created to make tons of money off people who don't know any better instead of anything, I don't know, important?

I agree.

And over the weekend, Justin Bieber videos on YouTube were the target for internet hackers, redirecting users to adult websites or triggering pop-up messages saying that the Canadian singer had died in a car crash.

Because exploiting a bug in youtube's comments = hacking

I agree.

I find the constant complaining about him much more annoying than him. In fact I would never have heard of him if it weren't for the complaining.

 

[Zuu]

as long as we sit around and don't do anything and don't complain there will just be more "artists" who don't write their own music to take his place and I don't really want this to be a standard for tomorrow's music.

I'm blowing this out of proportion but do you get where I'm coming from?

i like internet tomfoolery by default so this is pretty funny. won't vote in it because it seems to involve downloading shit for facebook.

which is totally a brand new development in the world of music right.

whining about it on an internet forum will do nothing. there will always be a market for this kind of stuff because there will always be kids.

grown up people (who honestly should have better things to worry about) can 'do something' by actually buying CDs of the bands they like (yes, this means money will go to The Man, sorry guys - on the flipside, it shows The Man that your favourite band is worth holding on to) instead of trying to justify piracy through semantics and questionable ethics.

regardless of hardcore computer kiddies' whining, the general public will always define hacking as 'messing with computers'. popular usage supersedes technical definition.

edit: just because this irritated me

It's about time Bieber gets what he deserves. If he was making his music for the sake of making music, then I wouldn't care as much. But its obvious he's only doing this for money.

we should punish someone for trying to earn a living. brilliant.

it doesn't matter at all what his motivation is. he's performing a service which other people are more than willing to pay for. you are completely free to ignore his very existence. there is no compulsion to buy his products. that's the way the world works, honey.

It makes me worry that future generations won't know good music.

think: when you were ten, what sort of music did you listen to? would you call that 'good music' now?

this whole topic, and the anti-Bieber/Cyrus/Jonas Bros. movement in general essentially boils down to 'i'm not the target audience'.

That.

BUT, then again, music that makes one person's ear bleed could be (and probably is) awesome to another person (that's what makes music great). So if the standard changes completely, then oh well.

EDIT: My point is, I don't care what the mainstream standard becomes in the future, just as long the music that I and rest of you like isn't forgotten completely.

Okay, you got me there. But that whole "gets what he deserves" thing was just me getting caught up in the moment. I could care less what kind of music you play--it's difficult to get out there and make your livelihood playing music, and if you can, I respect that.

think: when you were ten, what sort of music did you listen to? would you call that 'good music' now?

Actually, yes. But how often is that the case?

this whole topic, and the anti-Bieber/Cyrus/Jonas Bros. movement in general essentially boils down to 'i'm not the target audience'

That. I used to be a major supporter of that movement, but now, I'd just be happy if people stopped complaining about it.

which is totally a brand new development in the world of music right. of course not, the point is is that no one has done shit and so it remains

whining about it on an internet forum will do nothing. there will always be a market for this kind of stuff because there will always be kids. it might motivate people to get off their out of shape asses and do what is described in the next quote. (I realize that but it is not just kids perpetuating this)

yes except for the snarky shit in parentheses which really worries me

 

[goldenquagsire]

yes except for the snarky shit in parentheses which really worries me

worries you?

 

[Zuu]

perhaps it is just me but really I can't imagine life with music and I think anyone should care about what way the industry is going to go whether you're fourteen or forty-one

you act like the humdrum of ~everyday adult life~ should drown out things like art or something :V maybe I'm drawing out far too much from that single comment

 

[goldenquagsire]

to return to a quote from your own post

I'm blowing this out of proportion but do you get where I'm coming from?

justin bieber represents a form of music production (in the mass-marketed, sterile vein that you describe) that has existed as long as the music industry. he is nothing new. neither him, nor his other tweeny-boppin' pals herald the end of niche music. as long as people like you continue to support and encourage the artists which you prefer, everything will carry on as normal.

I wouldn't be bothered by his supposed effect on childrens' musical taste either. the vast majority of people in life don't care about music. I'd argue that with every successive generation of music, the majority of young people didn't give two shits about the ideology. they just joined in because of peer pressure, wanting to strike out as independent from their parents. and honestly, that's fine. it's part of growing up. in five years, they'll all be into whatever horrific version of emo/goth/punk/hair metal becomes popular in the schoolyard. a minority will become like you; they'll take an interest in their music and keep niche bands alive.

tl;dr: justin bieber is not the antichrist and kids will be kids.

edit: oh and because I don't think I made my point very clear: a childrens' entertainer is not something that you should be concerned about when there's fun stuff like erosion of liberty, environmental degradation and mass human suffering to get your knickers twisted over.

edit edit: and I know that's some kind of fallacy but the phrase "get a sense of proportion" exists for a reason.

when you put it like that I look like a sentimental moron

 

[Barubu]

Just because he's an idiot who for some unknown reason switches to other idiotic performers in the middle of his songs and he sings like a girl doesn't mean we should make fun of him............derp.

Why North Korea? There is an Antarctica option you know.
