Have you ever seen the light about a song and realised it's bad after it flopped?

 

I'll start: 

 

Lottery - Latto

 

I stan plenty of artists, songs, albums, films that attain no success whatsoever, so flopping rarely impacts my opinion of something. 
 

However, I definitely have the opposite problem: post smash clarity. I encounter a piece of media and I think "oh this is fine," "I wouldn't change the station," "decent film," etc and then it becomes an inescapable monster smash or sweeps the Emmys or whatever and I think, "oh, this is actually egregiously overplayed / overrated and my opinion of it is rapidly diminishing." Many such cases.

Camila Cabello - I Luv It 

 

Spoiler

I still believe (even though it didn't really flop) that My Oh My should have been a Havana/Señorita sized smash and I will die on that hill idc

 

 

?? 

imagine stop enjoying the song that you liked because it flopped 

It's more of the other way around. You like a song, then it becomes a hit and gets overplayed, and it starts to feel annoying instead of enjoyable.

no but i had this thing where i was scared to listen to flop artists for a while, it was a superstitious thing. like i was scared to accidentally stream ciara for the longest time in case it made me flop too

I shipped Bottle Pop by PCD. That should of been a hit in 08/09

This doesn't even make any sense 

Tell me you're a success stan without telling me you're a success stan 

I thought this was gonna be about artist rebrands like ARTPOP -> Joanne 

 

OT: No, I don't buy into vapid 'charts = quality' nonsense

Yes. 

 

But i usually am good at knowing whether a song will smash or flop in advance

So you only liked the song at first because you thought it would smash? 
No, I don't base my song likes on success
