No, it's true. Cut the need to feel validated.

Not considering the popularity of an artist when determining whether an artist is good is a need for validation?

You might have me confused with someone else.

I like how instead of judging his music on its merit, breaking it down and dissecting it, what's good, what's bad, we feel the need to compare our own internal responses to others in search for acceptance, thus making it abouts us, rather than the music itself.

You completely dismissed popular opinion, saying that most popular artists pull from musical morons that only listen because they don't know better. That is exactly what I'm talking about. You said that to validate your own opinion. It's as dumb as him bringing it up when Qqwweerrtty said that he personally doesn't think Eminem was very good of an artist in the first place. I agree, discussing personal opinion makes that useless and it's really boring to bring up something like that in these kinds of discussions. You tried to make it objective though. If you want to speak objectively like that than realize that the objective opinion on something as subjective as art belongs to the masses. Not you. No matter how musically retarded you want to think they are.

Strawman. That's clearly not how I view music. The rest is not worth reading if that's your premise.

Yes, because constantly talking about how the masses are musically retarded and don't know better is the "I like what I like" approach.

And I'm not the popular opinion, I listen to horrorcore music, that means I have terrible taste. I just don't care, I don't feel the need to call people musically retarded like you guys have and consistently do.

Then why did you say that? Because you did say that. You literally said that popular opinion does not matter because it draws from people that are musical morons.
