Someone Creates 14 Memes That Sum Up Musicians’ Audiences, Face Backlash

ADVERTISEMENT

Some a**holes in my school once cut the strings of a guy’s guitar because his music was “gay.” Their behavior was toxic on many levels, one of which is called music gatekeeping. Basically, it’s projecting your own taste as superior to others.

Recently, someone made a batch of memes, mocking both musicians and their audiences.In this narrow-minded series, Billie Eilish became a leader of “girls who think their drug addiction makes them a beautiful disaster” and Post Malone was presented as an artist who makes music “for people too uncultured to know who Ozzy Osborne is.” People across the Internet, however, weren’t feeling these generalizations. Refusing to laugh at them, they reminded us that everyone is entitled to listen to whatever they like. Preach it, folks!

Watched a video where tattoo artists talked about/ judged face tattoos. The description of "sound cloud rapper" was used frequently. Most seem to dislike that they're generally such small pieces that don't connect with each other and just look like notebook doodles of a middle schooler.

I think some of the people getting mad are the ones who listen to these artists. Look, I love Lizzo and I'm going to see her in concert. But I'm not blasting the person who made her meme. I just don't care. Whatever. Life is too complicated enough to worry about the small stuff like this.

Some of them are actually funny. I listen to mostly everyone on this list. Mostly. Lol. I kinda wonder if the generalization is a bit true though. I can kinda see the Taylor Swift one being true. Seems like everytime she breaks up with a guy (or vice versa) she writes a song about them and throws them under the bus. And Cardi B does sound like the dumb girl in class. Ugh I can't stand her.

And what does the person who made these memes make? Back in the 80s -- when I had intense and expensive music preferences, anyone who considered their musical taste superior to others to an irritating degree was not called a "gatekeeper," but a sh*thead… and they didn't get invited to parties or out to clubs or concerts, because they'd just whine and criticize.

Haha, wow. Truth hurts. I honestly think music taste says a lot about a person. Most physicists and mathematicians like complicated music, and I usually like those people. Any genre, but complicated. I've found that non-scientists are incredibly boring to talk to and I'd rather just spend time alone if I'm not around them.

Ummm, I don’t think liking complicated music (whatever that is) is determined by whether or not you’re a scientist. I have a strong feeling Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Ravel, Telemann, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Cage, Copland, Bernstein we’re not scientists. They were, ummm, musicians. I think.

I'm definitely out of the Ark, having been a lover of ABBA, BZN, Cliff Richard, etc,etc,etc., knew none of these modern artists, Ha Ha!

I think some of the people getting mad are the ones who listen to these artists. Look, I love Lizzo and I'm going to see her in concert. But I'm not blasting the person who made her meme. I just don't care. Whatever. Life is too complicated enough to worry about the small stuff like this.

Some of them are actually funny. I listen to mostly everyone on this list. Mostly. Lol. I kinda wonder if the generalization is a bit true though. I can kinda see the Taylor Swift one being true. Seems like everytime she breaks up with a guy (or vice versa) she writes a song about them and throws them under the bus. And Cardi B does sound like the dumb girl in class. Ugh I can't stand her.

And what does the person who made these memes make? Back in the 80s -- when I had intense and expensive music preferences, anyone who considered their musical taste superior to others to an irritating degree was not called a "gatekeeper," but a sh*thead… and they didn't get invited to parties or out to clubs or concerts, because they'd just whine and criticize.

Never seen half these people before but my word that Tyler fellow looks dodgy! Also isn't that the How Bout Dah girl? She looks quite fetching when she's disguised as civilised.

Haha, wow. Truth hurts. I honestly think music taste says a lot about a person. Most physicists and mathematicians like complicated music, and I usually like those people. Any genre, but complicated. I've found that non-scientists are incredibly boring to talk to and I'd rather just spend time alone if I'm not around them.

Ummm, I don’t think liking complicated music (whatever that is) is determined by whether or not you’re a scientist. I have a strong feeling Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Ravel, Telemann, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Cage, Copland, Bernstein we’re not scientists. They were, ummm, musicians. I think.

Nah, these are funny. I like Lana, for example. I'm not into astrology, but the joke is still good.

So, let me get this straight: Someone with a dark sense of humor posted some funny, some accurate and some not-so-funny-or-accurate memes on the Internet and your feelings were hurt?

I thought a lot of them were pretty funny honestly. People who complained are the one's listening to these s****y artists. XD

I think people need to consider that this isn't supposed to be taken seriously. It's a bit too much indeed, but if you don't like it, the best thing to do is not to help these series of spiteful comments getting viral.

I thought it was funny. Maybe if I loved any of that music, I'd care, but I don't. Postie is okay, but not crazy enough about him to make a fuss.

Meh, like whatever music you want. I like the humour in these though. I’ll admit I used to be embarrassed about some music I listen to but now I don’t give a damn. I have music from Backstreet boys, Sha na na, Justin Bieber, etc to Queen, twisted sister, Suzie Quattro and more. I like songs from most eras and genres.

Why do we care about a joke or that you're offended by it? This article is pointless and a drag to read.

I never understood the concept of not laughing at generalizations and not moving on ... it's meant to be satire ... sarchasm: the wide divide that exists between those that understand satire / irony and those that don't

I don't get the Lana Del Rey one. Also, thank goodness I'm not the only one who doesn't know who half of these people are.

LMFAO, esp Billie Ellish...I'm not sorry for the pompous idiots who've had their egos bruised because they realise they're supporting the huge pile of derivative c**p the current crop of pop stars represent!

nevermind the memes, if you like any of the music from the "artists" on this list, you are a fucktard who has no idea what good music is.

Did you know that (gasp) people have different tastes in music? And that you’re being really offensive.
