Why do we hate Justin Beiber?

[Fraught]

Bieber's popular, really popular, which means his music is heading towards being one of the defining musical acts of this decade. When people look back on our time, they will remember Bieber, and I don't know about you guys, but that sounds horrible to me.

Not to mention that second, I do really listen to common sense. I don't go on Bieber's videos and spam him with insults. I genuinely dodge and ignore news about him, discussing anything about him; he just doesn't interest me, and I'm not going to throw wood into the furnace of haters who, to some degree, make him so famous.

And third, he seems like a douche. There are news all over the web where he elevates himself to some musical genius, one of the most attractive males alive etc.
If he learned at least a little bit of humility, I'd respect him more.

As it is, he's an untalented egotistical prick, and I know girls are more blinded by his fame and hair, but every time he smiles, I can't help but notice how unattractive he is. To me, at least.

His hair is absolutely hideous.

Also, his lyrics suck. I would've copy-pasted some of em, but for some reason I couldn't.

Maybe my PC hates him too, and refused to have anything of Bieber's on it's clipboard.

 

[Iwata]

His music sucks, and his followers are annoying as hell...

But...

I recently saw him in Conan and The Daily Show, and the kid was, you know... alright. He's a kid. Just a kid. He talks like a kid, acts like a kid, but both Conan O'Brien and Jon Stewart really seemed to bring out the best in him.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I hate him because he represents everything that is wrong with music in this day and age, and he embodies the absolute downfall of everything artistic.

Also, it just irritates me that he keeps saying all this crap about "I'm just a normal kid with a dream!"

 

[Talon_Skywarp]

He is dating Selena Gomez.

He is making sooooooooooo much money.

I don't hate him, I want to be him

 

[Laser Priest]

He's a popular, mainstream artist who's music isn't considered good by many people on the internet.

This happens with everything mainstream and will end for him once another artist like him becomes as popular as he is right now.

 

[King Toasty]

Because the Internet requires at least one person to hate, at any point in time. He's a bit annoying, so they jumped on that.

 

[BanthaFodder]

he's an egotistical, self-absorbed, spoiled, rotten, talentless prick. he believe's that he's God's gift to the world. if he wasn't such a stuck-up asshole, I wold simply brush him off as an annoying tween who never hit puberty. but the kid has such delusions of grandeur. he sold a lock of his frigging hair for upwards of $10,000. he'sall bark and no bite. he has no talent, no personality, no ability to accept criticism. he's just a douche. I don't hate him because his songs are shit, I hate him because he's an egotistical testicle (an "ego-testicle", if you will). the shit music is just an added bonus.

(I won't even get into the "I don't know what Germany is" and "I'm sending Japan my prayers" debacles)

 

[MrShadowzs]

i dont hate him as much per say as i do what he represents, a bunch of high school girls wearing too much makeup, and could suck the stitches off a baseball. Also his personality i generally unlikable, his music is just the same ol' thing that get shoved down our throats by the radio, and well lets face it, by this time next year no one is gonna give a crap about him, people like him are a dime a dozen. HOWEVER it will be fun to watch his voice crack in the middle of a concert, which im sure will be up on youtube in the next few months. And yes i would punch is smug pretty boy face if i had the chance

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Because his music sucks, his fans are incredibly annoying, and he thinks that he's Gods gift to music. I wish someone like Jimmy Page comes to his house and hits him with his guitar, you know like an introduction course to music, where actual pain in involved. At least then he'd have something to sing about, and not what he thinks is pain, someone handing him a song, telling him to sing it and make it sound like he's a tortured soul, fuck him.

I have longed since stopped hating the kid, I've gone past hating him and moved on to actual ignoring his existence. More like wanting to smack the next person that says he's a talented singer.

 

[hazabaza1]

Because it's cool to hate popular things and people get jealous easily.

 

[aeroblaster]

He's just another reason to hate Canada. (He's Canadian)

 

[gibboss28]

Sorry if someone said thsi already, but it can't be overstated. He said, "I feel like the Kurt Cobain of my generation, but people just dont understand me." Thats almost be like Taylor Swift calling herself the Jimmy Page (The guitarist for Led Zepplin, in case you were wondering) of her generation.

I've heard that one too, and I'd believe it if there was an actual source, so far every site that's gone on about it have said this in one way or another "no original source for the quote can be found".

Anyway getting to the OP

I don't hate this person.
I honestly find it confusing as to what makes this guy so special to hate on when people like him are a dime a dozen. He ain't the first and he sure as fuck won't be the last.
I also find it confusing as to why people don't just ignore him. Surely it can't be that hard?

 

[Psycho Cat Industries]

People can like him if they want to (I do not) but what I find ironic is that people who hate him talk more about him.

 

[Mittens The Kitten]

He randomly got lucky making half-baked songs where he doesn't even have to sing in tune and has fans roaring after him. I'm a musician, and to see that kind of fame go to something like that makes you just a tad annoyed.

Imagine this: Suppose you're a painter, and you look in an art museum and see all of the great masters of art and all of their wonderful paintings, and along comes a boy still in school who draws stick figures. All of a sudden, everybody loves him and his stick figure pictures and nobody cares about the Mona Lisa.

That's why we hate Justin Bieber.

What's that? Is that the sound of a hipster indie rocker? The tortured artist whose great genius goes unrewarded? Only, of course, because mainstream audiences are unable to recognize real talent.
Comparing yourself to Leonardo Da Vinci is only fair.
