I would have gone with "Hopefully this time without a violent death at an early age."

Nah Taylor Swift is way more talented.

John was a pseudo-intellectual hack.

Taytay is the Bob Dylan of our generation.
She will win the Noblel Prize in 2035

If she is John Lennon (overrated guy btw), who is her Yoko Ono? Checkmate, rockists!

They're both extremely overrated, but at least Lennon had a few good songs with the Beatles, swift hasn't released a single good song ever. Hell, I would go as far to say she hasn't released anything even listenable ever, her lyrics are trash, the music is trash and her voice is ok I guess, not good enough to carry her awful music though.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Then again I dislike Beatles music so who am I to judge. Their songs are pretty good but as musicians they left much to be desired. The only way I can listen to their music is in cover form.

Way to stick it to the Big Laxative industry! We need more home remedies to keep our money out of their greedy little hands.

Its just generic pop drivel, there's nothing special or even good about her music. It made her a lot of money, so I can see why she'd do it but it lacks any artistic merit.

Of course he doesn't. Too many people like it for it to have any sort of merit. He makes himself sound like the sort of hipster that hates any music that more than six people have heard of.

Oh no, he likes some popular music, but only 70's and 80's stuff because that's when everyone was a real musician.

Bob Dylan has better songs but Taylor Swift exists in a far worse music industry. It's impossible to truly know how much but her early music is a clear indication of how much she is held back.

Musicians didn't fall off, the industry did. They force everything they put on the radio to have mass appeal through a handful of specific songwriters who are experts at producing hits.

A clear cut example of this is when kpop really took off for a moment. I get kpop is not everyone's cup of tea but it was at least fresh and unique as far as pop goes.

But then after it took off, kpop industry got itself involved with American music producers and the kpop started to sound like everything else.

I mean, I don't really like pop music in general, not all popular music in pop music, bands outside of pop music can be just as popular, if not moreso, than pop music

My niece really likes Taylor Swift, as ten year old girls do. I must have mentioned my distaste for her at one point because my sister tells me she said to her,

"Did you know Uncle Salrite doesn't like Taylor Swift?"

"I did know that, do you still like her?"

"... I don't know."

It's funny, I thought I was trying to hold back because I didn't want to influence her decision too much.

You ever get any weird looks or reactions when you say you don't like The Beatles? I don't care much for them either. If I had the choice, I'd take them over Swift. She ain't even close to being the Lennon of this generation. Even for pop standards, she ain't as creative as others before her.

Not really, or if I do they understand once I say it's the musical ability rather than the songs themselves. Lennon's talent lay in writing, not performing, and from a performance standard they were all pretty mid.

That's a valid opinion. While the Beatles did have some good songs, it was mixed in with some utter crap that is correctly all but forgotten today. Hindsight has an extreme survivor bias; people remember the highlights and ignore the mediocrity those highlights originally came mixed with.

Googling around a bit shows the numerical output to be similar. The Beatles put out 217 individual tracks in 8 years; Swift has put out 211 tracks, ignoring re-releases, over 19 years. I don't know if that is relevant at all, but I thought that the similarity in track count vs the huge difference in years active was interesting.

I don't particularly think she's the greatest of all time, but overall I have to agree that she falls in the same category as the Beatles, Beyonce, and Bon Jovi and agree with the Bon Jovi box set title: 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong

So she's an incredibly shitty person, and someone's eventually going to shoot her?


No, wait, the analogy doesn't work. I actually like some of her songs.

Her music isn't even the problem I have with her. There are a lot that are annoying, but some are catchy. She's nothing more than an industry plant though.

My problem is her status as a literal cult leader for children who thinks she's more important than MLK and Obama combined. There is something extremely creepy about selling a line of "I Love Taylor Swift" picture books to little kids for the sole purpose of grooming them.
