  • It's always funny when stans try to defend their favorite artists by judging common people who have no influence whatsoever as individuals. Katy Perry is NASTY, and a random person from a forum boppin

    I wouldn't wish what happened to her on anyone, but it would be really interesting to see how you guys would react to this ongoing situation if a close friend or family member went through exactly wha

Not really. You are an informed music consumer who browses pop music forums for leisure. You have the knowledge and control to choose what is morally worthy of your consumption, more so than members of the general public.

And I am also an informed citizen well aware of all the money to build the city came from. On the contrary, I don't check the credits of all songs I listen to, but I actively ignore every song I know he was involved in. Unfortunately, it's more complicated than that because his involment in the music industry goes deeper than just song credits.ย 

I think the question should be: "is your favourite pop star making you support Dr. Luke?"

no. the perks of only streaming taylorย :suburban:

It's technically not her song but he produced both of us

No. I tend to listen to current music and he hasn't put out good work in a while. Even when I'm in the mood for a throwback I don't listen to any of his old hits.ย

You have influence as individual.

ย 

You call out Katy Perry for doing that and i agree her making a Song with him Is a bigger thing with a bigger impact but still if you decide to streams his music you support him too. What's not clicking?

ย 

It's like saying "oh i bought this book from a self called nazist but i'm giving him only 5 dollars of royalties, the One has a bigger fault he's the publisher". Yes It's true but you are a financial supporter too.

Nope. Thank God his peak happened at a time when it was way easier to listen to his songs without putting money in his pocket

:ryan3:

Can we please stop beating this dead horse and focus on canceling someone else like Anna Wintour? She's known to be nasty and emotionally abusive as well, yet everyone just accepts it. We got a great movie out of it 20 years ago, I could only imagine the things that have happened since then.ย 

ย 

Dr. Luke paid the price. He's been named, shamed, and cancelled for almost 10 years. It's time to move on. But as soon as he's a dick again, bring it on again.

ethel cain is signed to luke's label?ย :rip:

ย

ย

Yes, I do. He has been part of good songs that I enjoy. And think of how much money Kesha, and perhaps other victims we don't even know about, would lose if we quit streaming all the songs Dr. Luke was part of. He is part of so many of Kesha's biggest hits and a huge chunk of her income still comes from songs he has produced. If we didn't stream them, sure Dr. Luke would have less money, but so would Kesha. And that goes for a lot of the other artists he worked for as well. Is it fair to cheat them out of money when they may not have known what he was doing or the label said they had to work with him?ย

Big Energy was prolly the last song of his I went outta my way to stream

ย 

I used to like his 2008-2014 hits but I don't listen to them anymore

No. Pretty much none of that music has ever been good, so I never listened to it in the first place :rip:ย Not missing out on anything.ย 

ย 

The big question no one seems to ask: was Dr. Luke ever that good of a producer anyways?ย 

ย 

Answer: No! Any particularly good or memorable songs of his were always written by someone else (Bonnie McKee, Ester Dean, etc) or co-produced by a cooler producer (probably a forced/vanity credit for Luke), like Where Have You Been?ย 

Anyone that listens to music written and/or produced by anyone signed to Prescription Songs financially supports Dr. Luke. I highly doubt most people truly know the reach that he has in the industry to this day.ย 

Well truthfully yes, he has made a lot of big hits. I still listen to a ton of older Katy, Kesha etc songs with him, and also newer songs like Say So.

ย 

Now while I would like to pretend I won't listen to say Woman's World out of some sense of morality, it's only because the song is not that great that I won't listen to it much.ย :michael:
