I hate those smarmy ****s. You're 100% right that people like them offer nothing to music and insult it by taking such an empty approach to it. The worst part is that they're basically the face of a capella music in the modern day when genre can be so excellent and impactful.

Yeah, I can imagine someone listening to a real a capella singer and saying "Yeah but he's not doing the instruments!" He's not MEANT to be doing the instruments, you idiot! That's what a capella is all about. Not how clever you can be but how well your voice can sound (wait for it) without ****ing music! Grrr!

That's part of it but a bigger part of a capella is being able to carry the piece without assistance.

Pentatonix gets extra hate for being cover-based too. You really have to do something exemplary and new to justify releasing a collection of covers. **** Pentatonix, **** Weird Al, **** your buddy's Beatles cover band.
