How is this even unpopular. It *is known*.

Many people deify him and act like he is the best thing since sliced bread.

I do not think he had any sort of religious conversion or awakening that fast because when he had it, he had just released "I Love It" and produced "Work This *****" for Teyana Taylor.  He is a ******* ***** ass ******

Just say something a bit negative about Gaga and thats enough. That fanbase can’t take any kind of criticism. YOU CAN’T EVEN ASK FOR A NEW ALBUM like wtf is wrong with that fanbase  imagine being so defensive because her fans ask for new music. “She is allowed to do what she wants get a life “ 

Kskssksk

Taylor Swift's songwriting really isn't all it's cracked up to be by her fans. She has some great moments, but overall her music feels surface level to me a lot of the times. I also think the conversation around her writing was crafted and pushed hard by her record label, team, and now fans because they can't brag about vocals, dancing, or her humble background.

Blackout sounds like a collection of demo presets from a mid range 2004 Yamaha keyboard and was out of date one year after its release. Gays tried to gaslight everybody into thinking that it was revolutionary or whatever, but that record is nothing more but an another product of that cheap RnB-tinged mid-2000s sound rather than the trailblazer of late 2000s electropop heard in The E.N.D, Animal, The Fame etc, seeing as they are sonically very much distinct from the aforementioned album.

 

Blackout is Britney's best album, but yeah the idea that it's on the level of Ray of Light or The Fame Monster is just not it. Britney has always been a singles girl as much as her fans don't want to admit it.

[KingJay]

Beyoncé is over rated af

Gaga musically has sucked after Artpop

Taylor is the worlds biggest scammer with her “Taylor Versions”

Lana Del Rey is better than all your faves

Nicki Minaj sucks as a person unless you’re a fan she likes but her music is still good

Cardi B struggles to keep up with staying on beat and her personality is annoying

Doja Cat is one of the best “new” female rappers out now

Dua Lipa is low key boring as an artist now

Lil Kim was never that Gal

Kpop sucks 

 

will add more later

Surprisingly, I mentioned that I wasn't in love with Kylie's new album and felt like I was desecrating a monument.

Obsessing over sales is a crutch because you have a narrow taste palette that can't accept anything made outside of intentional mass appeal.

It is so boring and tiring when y’all play coy. Say it with your full chests 

 

Also, here is your original dogwhistle:

Not all religions hate the LGBTQ+ people the same and one particular is much worse. 

Again, the existence of a Christian country like Uganda with the death penalty for homosexual acts directly contradicts your statement.

Yes that is one country (the only Christian country on the list actually). Did you manage to find the rest? What religion do those follow? While we’re at it why are you focusing on death penalty alone? Which countries and what religions allow gay marriage? Which countries have laws preventing discrimination based on gender/sexuality? Which countries allow/forbid transitioning?

Taylor Swift exploits the **** out of her fans (I do like her music though) 

Megan Thee Stallion is awful and her bars are ass (and Ice Spice too to a lesser extent) 

 

Dua Lipa still has 0 artistry despite debuting nearly a decade ago 

 

Rihanna’s main reason for doing the SB was to benefit and gain exposure for Fenty Beauty and Savage Fenty (I’m Navy too - don’t come for me pls)

Madonna catalgoue is forgotten and she is not rated by the GP once Gaga came along.

 

Also Britney is constantly totally over rated on this website whilst her stans have ambiguous AVIs and they hold other aritsts t to a massive standard 

 

 

There's a difference between an unpopular opinion and just outright lying. 

 

Gaga's music beyond TFM and 2 other singles("Shallow" and "Born This Way") is straight up overlooked or forgotten by the GP compared to Madonna. 

 

Madonna approaching 50 years old even had a massive banger("4 Minutes") that resonated with the youth and club scene the same year that Gaga debuted so I have no clue where you got that from lol. Meanwhile, Gaga's not even 40 yet and is treated like a borderline legacy act thriving off of acting and touring. Madonna's still the best selling female act OAT and is already implanted in music history. 

 

I somewhat agree with your Britney take though. I was experiencing Britney's peak in real time when she blew up and the level of respect she receives today on pop forums was practically non-existent during her prime. She was seen as a glorified singles act and tabloid fodder in real time. Even her ex, Justin Timberlake, commanded more respect from music critics and fans when he blew up. Also, Eminem lowkey overshadowed her in the early 2000's in both global sales and even controversy. Nonetheless, her 99-04 run is still great for what it is. She danced pretty well, had some decent bops, and her first 2 albums sold extremely well(albeit in a peak climate for CD sales). But Britney's peak in terms of being highly acclaimed/revered as a pop icon or in terms of dominance/longevity is overstated on here.

Great. Theres demand for legacy act tours

 

Madonna is still disrespected by the GP especially from 2009 onwards.

 

the year Gaga won the Oscar and had another smash song was the abomination that was the Eurovision 2019 performance

Midnight is Taylor's worst album after her debut, it absolutely doesn't deserve its success and it's probably just a compilation of vault songs that she put together ("This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams" my a**). 

Midnights* 

 

You're not entirely alone in thinking Midnights-- hold your groans-- is pretty mid. However, saying Midnights is Taylor's 2nd worst album is kind of silly when Reputation is clearly inferior. I would even say her earlier works, such as Fearless and Speak Now (especially the non-TV versions), are worse than Midnights. 

 

The only bone I'll throw the album is that Snow on the Beach is pretty incredible, and the 3am tracks are worth listening to. I also like Anti-Hero, Labyrinth, Sweet Nothing, but I know I'm alone with those opinions.

I totally understand. As much as I love Kylie and Tension I can see how the album could be a letdown for some. It’s like they could go the extra mile but decided to stay safe with this record

Strangely, my unpopular opinion is Born This Way is Gaga's worst album! I easily prefer The Fame Monster and Chromatica (and even Chromatica's remix album) to it.

Taylor Swift  + her team have a problem giving other people credit in their marketing and press releases, in an attempt to brand her a trailblazer.

All of the following things were listed as "firsts" in her marketing:

 

- Concert Film distribution Deal with AMC (done two years earlier by Chance The Rapper)

- Fighting for her masters at the peak of her career (MJ, Prince, Mariah, Janet)

- Re-recording music to gain ownership of music while on a major label (Def Leppard in 2012 - while fighting the same label TSwift is currently on)

- Working with Max Martin / Ryan Tedder on her crossover to pop (Carrie Underwood - 2009 "Quitter", 2011 "Good In Goodbye")

- Fighting for better streaming compensation

Let's not forget Jojo re-recorded her first two major-label studio albums for the very reason Taylor Swift re-recorded her catalogue with Big Machine Records!

The whole they/them non binary thing in my opinion is a tool used by white kids who want to be oppressed to fit in with minorities and feel like they’re fighting for something instead of acknowledging their privilege. 
 

If I’m wrong feel free to correct me 

Well, I have taught middle and high school students, and students from both populations have told me they go by they/them pronouns-- even faculty members I shared a building with. I can't imagine why, as a grown adult-- let alone a teacher (if you don't know, us teachers are ALWAYS working-- always)-- you would make that up for some sort of oppression olympics. Also, some of the students who identified as they/them were non-white students. 

 

Moreover, my friend's partner identifies as they/them, and they are not a person that's attention-seeking or white. They are Peruvian and work for NASA. 

 

If you have more questions, I would be more than happy to answer them! It seems like you just haven't been around as many non-white non-binary people or educated yourself enough on the topic, and while everyone is different in their learning journey, I really hope you move past this outdated take.

Whenever the subject comes up I see several people try to claim cocaine is fine and should be normalized and I have to wonder if that's why so many ATRLers are so braindead.

Erm... while I don't condone or encourage illicit drug use, I think the bigger issue is- you guessed it- the War on Drugs. If my research is correct (please correct me if I'm wrong), more fatal overdoses occur because cocaine was combined with another drug or the cocaine was impure. If people had access to pure cocaine and had harm-reduction knowledge and a support system, I bet less people would use cocaine or at least not use cocaine as much. 

 

I'm not saying cocaine use (even infrequent) is "fine," but I think we put a lot of emphasis on black-and-white thinking ("hamburgers are bad for you! Stop eating them!"), rather than looking at the person as a whole. Does this person exercise regularly? Are they sleeping at least 8 hours a night? I'm sure there's people who use coke that are way more in shape than I'm in, and I do not use any substances that are illegal in my state.

Why would people pay to see someone they disrespect? That doesn't make any sense to me. Why didn't  her peers like Janet, Paula get the same treatment? Why couldn't the most popular acts at time such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry or Rihanna outgross someone who got disrespected? Madonna at her 22nd year into career scoring a global SOLO smash, while Gaga hadn't had a SOLO smash from her own studio album since 2013, just 5th year into career. Why? Isn't she respected by the GP?
