If music is subjective however, how come we always seem to go out of our way to attack certain fanbases and tell them the music they like sucks.
Classic examples are
Black Veil Brides
Blood On The Dance Floor
Nickleback
I'm not saying I like these bands and I will admit many of the bands who get attacked usually have poor musicianship. However they do have fans and we treat those fans like they are wrong.

read the comments in this article and you'll know exactly what I mean. Granted most of you probably hate Attack! Attack!, that doesn't mean everyone does and their opinion is just as valid as yours. These people however have a complete disregard for other peoples opinions and the few people who said "ya know, I kinda liked them it sucks to see them break up" everyone attaccked them and said "get a better taste in music"
why do we do this? |
Music is subjective but depending on the discussion it can also be objective. For instance, claiming some of the bands you mentioned are on the same level as Rolling Stones or Pink Floyd is objective (in my opinion) because there are legitimate reasons and facts that show otherwise. I dont think fanbases should attack other fanbases. Having debates and discussions are fun on message boards but people dont know how to disagree without being disrespectful and calling someone a "hater" which I find so immature because everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
