Ke$ha grew on me after Your Love Is My Drug, and I realized that Gaga isn't a talentless whore aftering looking up her live acoustic performances (well, she is a whore, but a supremely talented whore, .) And I fell head over heels in love with Gaga's second album, which is a mix of industrial dance music and pop music that isn't so lyrically shallow like her first album.

I listen to the mainstream pop radios on my lengthy commute to University everyday, though if my car had a CD player, I'd probably never listen to the radio. The lame commercials annoy me much more than the actual music. I generally check out radio artist's CD's when they're released, just to make sure I'm not missing some random gem of a song.

I may be misinterpreting your reply, but what I meant was that I'm genuinely at a loss as to how someone can be annoyed by music they aren't being forced to listen to.
Although I hear from a lot of people "Justin Bieber this, that and the other.. can't stand / hate / annoys me", personally he doesn't annoy me at all because I just don't listen to him. I'm sure, given the familiarity with my own tastes and even an ounce of reasoning based on that, I wouldn't like his music if I listened to it.. but to me, he isn't a factor in my life at all.
Same goes for Ke$ha and Lady Gaga and all the rest.

There was a time before I had a CD player in my car(s) that the radio was the only option, but I got more out of listening to talk radio than what was on the music stations, honestly. Now, I just load up a thumb drive full of tunes and plug that into my car's audio deck and listen to what I like.

It just somehow feels like there isn't any logic behind not liking a certain music and having to complain about it more than once.
