I still wouldn't say that the bolded is true, that's just a straight up fallacy. I can't get behind that. There's a degree of truth to the amount of people liking an artist, but like I said: you have to go deeper than popularity if you're going to be using it as a source of validation.

Okay, but where you get lost is where I disagree with popular opinions being almost meaningless because you think certain types of fans are musical morons for not living up to your standard of musical appreciation. And you think they can make big enough of a bulk of any fan base to completely dismiss it.

Nope. Popularity has been awarded to a wide variety of artists for a wide variety of reasons, which means that it is not consistent across artists...are you reading my posts? It's useful as a sidenote and a sidenote only. If you value it differently, don't impose that dumb **** on me. Give me actual qualities of the music if you want to go toe to toe about an album. Your buddies don't know ****. I mean have you met people? They're ****ing idiots. I prefer my idiotic thoughts to theirs any day and you're an idiot if you don't think the same about your own opinions.
