You could make an argument that if a song is listened a lot, it means a lot of people find it good and thus is could not be bad. But then again, Suicide Squad was a successful movie if you were to base your judgement on popularity.
Funny, cuz lots of the ones who say “ew less than 100k listens” will also say they’re not into pop music. Wondering what they think “pop” is short for lmao
It’s sadly a very common thing and applies to just about everything. “It’s not popular so it’s automatically bad”, I’m just glad I’m not forced to be around people like that too often.
My mother in law used to refuse to eat in an empty or nearly empty restaurant. On the logic that if it’s empty it must be bad. Never mind that the reason a restaurant is empty often has more to do with location than quality, or that it’s packed for dinner and empty at lunch or vice versa.
Oddly enough, I’m on the opposite side. Popularity ruins good things. I’m probably just bitter and cynical though. And that’s also not to say that there aren’t things with massive popularity that are also good.
I remember getting made fun of in middle school for listening to Nevermind, you know just a landmark in rock music because it was at the time almost 10 years old. Sigh.
I was sharing music with a friend and their reaction upon being shown an artist (not even listening) was "ew less than 100k monthly listens”
bro? is this your metric for good music ? how many people listen to it on Spotify ?
if this is how avg ppl see music it explains a lot about top 40 charts

this is also why vote manipulation is a thing. people are prejudiced by the appearance of a consensus.
