It is completely okay to have different opinions about music or food or anything else for that matter. It is also normal to not agree with one another. But there are some people in this world, who may have gone too far with their opposing views or are just trying to get on everybody's nerves. Recently, people on Twitter started sharing their unpopular music opinions, and some, while weird, are still acceptable, for example, standing by their love of country music. But then there were some who's opinion are simply outrageous, from calling the Beatles overrated to saying all rap music sucks, these people are definitely trying to stir up some arguments, and well, they succeeded.

Most of her songs are just ok to me - not great. I think it's because she started so young that she was a sensation. If an older person had written the same songs, I don't they they'd be as popular.

No Taylor swift is amazing and kind and the only reason people hate on her is because it's 'trendy' to hate on her. She hasn't done anything
honeybear tae 3 years ago
disagree 100%. her albums are lyrical masterpieces. she's deserving of her awards.
marie.diamantes 4 years ago
i wholeheartedly disagree. her songwriting is amazing, that's something you cannot deny. and 1989 (which she won a grammy for) totally deserved its award. just listen to it! the production is fantastic, and the lyrics are beautiful. so many people hate her because she makes music about heartbreak, but i can name so many songs of hers that aren't about that.

Metal and many of of its sub-genres are underrated. It's difficult to find another genre that requires the technical skill of metal musicians; let alone getting upwards of 5 talented people in your act coming together perfectly.

Music was something that just gave you a feeling of contentment. Not a whole lot of true talent now and seldom write their own music. Throw in a few profanities, screw someone and take someone out and you have a "song". There is still true talent out there but if they don't have that whore or gangsta persona it is not reaching the kids in today's society. What is with the frigging tattoos on the face? How stupid is this?

All of the comments saying "X is overrated" are true - even the Beatles! I say this because there are so many bands out there just as (or, occasionally, nearly as) good that never "make it" and almost nobody ever hears about them. It's like Harry Potter - good books, 4-7 are great even, I loved the series. But why did they become so beloved when there are books out there just as good or better that never went mainstream? So yeah, the Beatles are great, Harry Potter is great, but they're still over-rated because 99% of bands and books are under-rated. :)

I listen to black metal but because I have lots of tattoos (someone actually once said to me "you have your fingers tattooed, you clearly don't listen to 'nice' music") and wear mostly black, people assume I'm a music snob but as I'm writing this, I'm listening to Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys and before that I was listening to Bone Machine by Tom Waits. If I like it, I like it. I know a lot of people who only listen to one genre of music and refuse to listen to anything else; it takes the joy out of music completely.

All of the people saying they don't like any current music, there are lots of artists that you might like if you don't just stick to mainstream. There are so many local/smaller artists out there. I didn't 'discover' music until in my mid 20s because all I heard was mainstream and I just tuned out (though I did like a bit of the 'golden oldies). Then I was living with my brother and he had a local station on all the time and it just clicked. I didn't dislike music, I just hadn't heard anything that was interesting.

The only thing more annoying than mainstream music and it’s fans are people who go out of their way to make a show of not liking it. Like, your bookish gamer nerd persona and the the music that goes with it is so trite that it might as well be mainstream too. Most of the comments here are just taking the contrarian position to the mainstream standard. No actual individual thought at all. They end up just being a different kind of mainstream. Not trying to be holier than thou, I just don’t know how else to put it.

I've been an Elton John fan for more than 40 years now, so none of these "unpopular" opinions are new to me, lol! In the mid-70s, this was a popular opinion. Now, not so much. And I spent WAY too much time arguing with a Swiftie on Twitter that Kate Bush was the far more talented of the two ladies, but she had no Grammys to show for it whereas Taylor has something like 10. In the end, it's all subjective anyway. Listen to whatever and whoever makes you happy, end of.

Phil Collins blows. Kelly Rowland is better than Beyoncé. Just because you can make your lyrics rhyme doesn't make you a rapper. Auto-tune ruins every song it's used in. Playing sound effects to a rhythm is not music. Justin Timberlake did not improve when he went solo. One Direction were god-awful, and their solo stuff is as bad, or worse.
