So I was at supermarket the other day, low key jamming out to Coles Radio as you do in your 30s apparently. Then they play a new taylor swift song. And something inside me just... snaps. Previously I was like "Ok, talented artist but getting a bit over the hype". Now I think i actually hate her. Like I cant even do some shopping without having to hear her shit? The song sucked. It was all mopey and shit and felt like 0 effort, but its somehow still getting air time? I hate even posting this cause I feel like its just giving more air time, but I need to vent my frustrations. cant we all (myself included) just move on!?
Have felt like that about Kylie Minogue for over 30 years now. And high rotation is a major reason why I will NEVER buy a particular artist.
interesting! I suppose it really applies to whatever generations "It" girl is hey?
Reckon so. Kylie came along a bit after those uncritical teenage years, when whatever you hear most often on the radio becomes the tribal anthem for that generation. For me it was Chuck Berry and then the Beatles.
