@@Victor_386 Where did I say I hate Calvinโs newer stuff? Iโm keen to know ๐คฃ
Acting like I go home and jam out to Beethoven or something.
Itโs just clear your extra defensive over music which is deemed to be โmainstreamโ ๐
Like damn, I like Coldplay, who are the definition of mainstream pop-rock ๐ but itโs not pretentious of me to say that their earlier work is a lot better than the stuff they made for radio plays.
Literally everything your mad about comes down to the fact that you canโt comprehend why something is/or becomes โmainstreamโ ๐คก
Itโs not everyone elseโs fault that you canโt understand why people criticise pop music.
