STOP perpetuation the Bieber thing. The more you make fun of how popular he is, the more popular he becomes.

His talent is displaced, and his ego grows with every word of ridicule as well as every word of praise. A good person wouldn’t let either affect him.

I don’t like to hate. But I hate pop culture right now. So please take your Twilight book and your club-mix-bass-and-drum “Dub Step” (HUH?) music to your Step Dad’s house and ask “Siri” to look up Wes Montgomery James Taylor’s wikipedia page on his iPhone 4 and maybe, JUST maybe we can catch a glimpse of what it means to non-ironically like music (for those who just finished their first semester of high school english, that means enjoying it in the non-hipster sense)  that was created by artists not because “That track is gonna be hot errrrrrrywhere in all da cluuuubs”, but because these artists made music for themselves, and only themselves. 

We as consumer get the privilege of enjoying someone else’s art as a byproduct of them creating it. And don’t you forget it.

I must be getting old.
