Its Funny How people here Hate Popular Artists like Justin Beiber..
whats wrong with his music? hes made some good songs,hes only 17 and hes already a millionaire.
Lady Gaga is another Example of a Artist that gets hate for no reason.she came from literally nothing and became an Icon.

Well, I'll give a list of reasons:-Mostly geared to a market audience of prepubescents and teenagers. Immature market often means immature music lacking depth
-Pop musicians often bypass, or aren't seen in, local circuits. Most artists and bands work for years to get any kind of mainstream audience attention, or label interest, and work ridiculously hard to develop niche audiences. Many pop stars bypass this and go from zero to stardom based on how physically marketable they are to young kids and teens. As there's no musical merit in looking good, these pop stars are often loathed and seen as fake/talentless due to their meteoric rise and the focus on their appearance.
-Their music is oftentimes very very simple, formulaic, derivative, and with the same lyrical theme. The production is often as glossy and overdone as possible. This combination leads to the music sounding fake, and giving people the ability to question if the pop star has any talent at all, to which their bias is already leaning towards "No"
-The idea that popularity = respect is invalid, because most people who listen to music listen to it as background music, for nostalgic purposes, because "the beat is catchy", or because the pop star is popular/attractive. Or any combination of the above. If you asked a Bieber fan to review his latest album, it likely would not go into almost any detail, because the listener themselves do not listen in detail to the songs, with the exception of listening to the lyrics so they can recite them at will :P
-Again, the music is often lacking substance. There's rarely any that makes me think or feel. Rarely is any emotion evoked from me.
Now, some music has hit the mainstream and is pretty good, or even great. It really depends, but it's far FAR less common than the alternative. Which is unfortunate.
