Everyone should be able to admit when artists are in fact objectively talented, even if you don’t personally like their style of music. Trying to pretend people who are clearly vocally gifted are “not talented” just because you don’t like their music or because you’re fueling some pretend “stan war” between two divas just makes you look unintelligent, in denial, and incapable of rational argument.

Critic reviews are 100% useless. Even in the context of stan wars, I’ll never get why people care. Critics nowadays just either 1) go along with the trend/discourse in a sloppily written review, 2) give a good review to make the fans happy or 3) write some edgy critique to get clicks. There was just 1 single album that got a Metascore below 60 in 2023. There’s no reason for me to care about their opinion. 
 

Grammys are equally as useless as critics. Yes, in theory they are awarded by a jury of actual musicians and peers. But it’s still a political, elitist club that has taken so many terrible decisions, I’m not sure why anyone would care about them.

Most ATRLers alt faves are not truly alternative and most of you will not be able to survive a day listening to real alternative music

Cardi B lowered the bar for female rap so much to the point it has become a literal joke in mainstream music.

Only stan world care if the song is solo or not.

Faceless hits and being a collab is 2 totally different things, it can be a featuring and NOT be faceless at all.

a first week debut (and initial chart placements in general) doesn't guarantee a hit song and shouldn't be the final consideration on whether a song is a hit or not. Longevity + impact will forever be more impressive than a peak. 

The back 2 back correct answers on the first page.

There are songs from before you were born that outstream almost any song from your fave's discography on a daily basis

The most hated artist here on atrl, Taylor Swift, is also objectively the most successful artist right now.

Politicans asking White Mediocrity to come to their countries to play a show are pathetic. So and solve Real Problems 

They want tourism. Profit is profit.

All of our faves are money hungry, the more money people have the more they want :michael:, so I don't get why ATRLers are always singling out a few artists.

Just say Taylor Swift and be done with it. She makes it obvious.

It's perfectly ok to listen to male artists. It's perfectly ok to listen to any genre you want. There are both good and bad songs in every single genre.

just because you have never heard of an artist or they are never/rarely get talked about on ATRL doesn't mean they're unknown

What gays want ‘a five single sl*tty dance pop era with SNL promo’ is not what GP want from 40 year old women, and just cause their pop catalogue from decades ago is smashing doesn’t mean they should go back to their old producer to do the same. It would bomb, esp for katy and Gaga

The GP is not important anymore to be successful as an artist and acclaim from the GP isn’t the flex stans think it is when you look at what the ‘GP’ in the US has been doing lately especially during the pandemic/Trump era. 

 

Stans who feel their taste aligning with the GP means they have ‘good’ taste are in denial about the fact they are actually basic.
 

Taste is subjective and you should follow your own path towards the music you like regardless of what others think instead of chasing what other people/radio stations/algorithms tell you to listen to. Tastemakers don’t follow trends, they set them. 
 

Being a pick me girl/gay/person on a forum by thinking you’re edgy for making shady references to “forum/internet gays” and how their taste isn’t shared by the GP is nothing more than thinly veiled self hatred and projection and the GP probably hate you anyway.

Dragging fanbase fueled success/careers is stupid. 

 

All of the music that is released these days by 20th century artists, including the LEGENDS, is mostly ignored by the general public and flops on the charts as per ATRL MPG standards. They literally entertain their fanbases for the rest of their lives. 

 

Artists can‘t succeed 50+ years with the public. The best have 15-20 successful years in mainstream, decline in GP support, than entertain just their fans with albums/merchandise/touring. And that is perfectly fine. And this will happen to all our faves too sooner or later.
