Honestly if feels like the redneck reviewers really fear the gay stans of these girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotham Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) 1989 EDIT: Oh mess I thought this referred to albums that helped create poptimism, not necessarily albums that don't deserve their high scores. 1989 100% deserves its high score.

Arrows Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Ariana, Selena, Camila, Justin and Dua being acclaimed. Love some of their music to varying degrees, but let's be honest, the vast majority of it is very empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gustavothehuman Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Rare getting a +70 on Metacritic. Anything by Camila getting a +70 on Metacritic. Future Nostalgia getting a +80 on Metacritic. Sour getting a +80 on Metacritic. The truth is that critical acclaim = fan base most likely to send you death threats nowadays. Hence why Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons and other GP-oriented artists get bullied left and right. As a Swiftie it would be hypocrite of me to say Taylor didn't benefited from that, but I think her only overrated album was Lover. Folklore, Evermore and Red all deserved their +80 scores, I would add 1989 in that group too. Edited April 26, 2022 by gustavothehuman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyssa Edwards Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 2 hours ago, smartalek22 said: I still don't know what Poptism is can someone explain Being reviewed by "prestigious" publications and taken seriously for making pop music. Whether it's absolutely terrible/generic af or not, you can get awesome scores because some people are trying to rectify the sh*t that pop music has taken for decades. It's your job to decipher which scores were given honestly and which ones are given MASSIVE boosts to rectify the actual faults of the past so much that it becomes an insult/joke to the readers.
