#for the record i am exceedingly neutral about mcfreakin justin bieber

[brightsuzaku]

yes i will delete this later maybe

at this point I think I am gonna have to mute taylor swift from my tags because I LIKE THE MUSIC, but damn is it hard not to have to scroll by my eyes with either

a. how much people either seem to hate her

or

b. some of the most rabid fans with the Worst Takes

and like, i'll say it, there is a lot I love and respect about her, but there have been some (deadly) MISSES with the tours

and i have to scroll through the bog of "are people bringing this up because they fucking hate her" or "is this a genuine thing to be worried about" mixed with the fact i had to sit here and read with my own eyeballs about how she got her contract with Big Machine Records and like, YEAH, she's privileged as heck and she's not special or whatever

but also she had a very long and difficult time trying to get *away* from that record label because of a dispute over whether she owned the masters of her own fucking music, which is WHY she is re-recording her old albums on her own terms.

and like, yes, she is a Very Rich and very Privilege White Chick, and that is GRATING for some folks, but damn, I can't stand the nitpicking where it's not needed. Taylor Swift is not punk?

Yeah, sure, she's probably not, but the most punk thing she did *was* the re-recording of her goddamn work, and that may be the ONLY punk thing she has done.

ANYWAY this is aimed at nobody or nothing in particular, but I think I am the ONLY person among my friends that actually likes her, and look, that's most normie shit in the world I like, but

i also like Britney Spears. A lot.

And i have already experienced the vitriolic anti-Britney hate to where I don't wanna have to deal with this again where I have to wade through, "is this malicious" or "is this an ACTUAL problem that should be addressed?"

like, it's going to take Taylor Swift walking out and literally saying TERF shit that would actually stop me, but damn, people love hating on her otherwise.

I go to tumblr to ENJOY fandom and things i like, and I do ym best to stay afloat even in The Horrors, but tit-for-tat "i hate this artist" makes me feel like I am in middle school again, and it's beyond upsetting

#brightsuzaku #i am so goddamn tired #i don't like the idea of muting tags of artists i like but NOBODY ELSE I KNOW actually likes her #i am probably going to delet this later but #this smacks of how cool it was to “hate” britney spears back in the day #and like i liked her music and so on but never understood what makes some artists the coolest thing to hate #and what does not #for the record i am exceedingly neutral about mcfreakin justin bieber #and i once WAS in the “heehee he sounds like a girl he's so cheesy i am glad i am not 12” #and how kpop used to be cringe but then #I KIDNA GREW THE FUCK UP and realized that cringe is dead and people should be happy #like goddamn i will deal with some of this stuff later and sort it out but like #folklore and the re-recordings were my 2020 onwards and it was so fucking nice
