If you claim someone is overrated, you've lost the plot of enjoying music.

Don't let others tell you that your taste is shit, but also, don't do that to others.

art is subjective

Your opinion is no less valid than any one else's.

I think being overrated is the defining characteristic of pop music, right? Any music where the most notable trait is that it's popular is pop music.

1. Stop listening to or caring what other people think about your interests. They are your interests.

2. Consider not judging people (Swifties) the same way you have been judged for yours. Taylor isn't your vibe, that does not mean she is overrated.

You started criticizing other people's tastes in the back half of your comment so it's fair game. AJR is derivative trash written by people who are obsessed with infantilizing themselves to a concerning degree. Like what you like. But what you like is d-tier, emotionally maladapted millennial pandering poopoo

I like some of those too (AJR, golden hour, imagine dragons, and nickelback), but I don't dislike Taylor Swift either. I think calling her overrated is not a great response to how your interests are treated.

Ok but also I’m noticing that your meme is complaining about people criticizing what you like and your reasoning is a little of what you like and a lot of criticizing what others like. It’s awesome that you like these things, but instead of thinking of other things as overrated or shit, consider thinking of them as not to your tastes. Not worse, just not for you. It’s a good habit that if everyone followed we’d not be condemning your tastes as bad either

Maybe don’t shit on other peoples music taste if you are so bothered by people doing it to you. Young women got shit on constantly for liking Taylor Swift back in 2015, because all music girls liked was lame anyways. Let them have their music and we’ll let you have yours.

I’ve never heard AJR but if you like them then they are fucking ace. I like incredibly repetitive bleepy music which makes a lot of people very angry indeed.
I also think “Shake It Off” is a banger (apart from the talking bit).
Thanks for posting this. It’s important that folks realise that taste is subjective

Over/underrated is only important if you think other people's opinions should be a guide for your tastes.

I like Taylor Swift (her fans are crazy), Imagine Dragons, and Nickelback (a decent song so long it had to be released over multiple CDs). I also like Bryan Adam's (how many songs can you slip 69 into). I never heard of AJR, but that's just a good reason to try them out. Say what you will about any of them, doesn't mean I don't enjoy them.

Radioactive was so overplayed and the singer has such a distinct voice that I can't hear that voice anymore without reflexively gagging. I was a fan back in the day but once I hit that point, I never came back from it.

Interesting! I'm a huge music fan and actually run a reasonably big promotional channel where we commonly promote future bass and trap. When I'm around others or driving with others, they don't always appreciate the "awesome" music I enjoy, aha. Oh and I hate 99% of the pop music on the radio. I despise it. Delete it. I really feel ya

Nah I love ajr lol

I feel like Creed is this for me. I started really getting into it ironically, now I fucking love it unironically. My music snob friends will not even acknowledge it's funny. Joke's on them.

I used to get the piss taken out of me for having eclectic music taste. Fuck people. Like what you like. Ignore the haters.

You'll find this MUCH easier the older you get.

btw I'd never heard of AJR but I like them. 👍

I also love AJR and Imagine Dragons, I think you'd enjoy The Score.

And Taylor Swift is overrated

If you're not listening to Bambu 24/7 don't @ me.

Only my tastes matter. Get with the program.
