why do people like a certain musician/artist but then don't like them when they get "too popular"?
i never understand this concept fully. i mean...if their music is the same, and you liked their music to begin with, why would it matter that more people like it now? wouldn't you still like what you like regardless of whether 5,000 people know about them or 500,000? shouldn't you be happy that someone who you think makes good music is actually doing well in their career? this isn't the same as a song being over played on the radio or something. i understand that you can like a song but then just hear it too much. this is more about disliking a whole group/artist just because more people start to listen to them. i don't understand why the size of a fan base would determine what music you like. |
