[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The furor and praise that Ryan Adam's 1989 cover album has gotten have raised a lot of questions about why we, as a culture, seem to automatically dismiss the Biebers, One Directions, and Taylor Swifts of the world- on the basis of the fact that teenage girls are their fanbase. I think this is a good read for any parent of a teenager: http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/881-pop-music-teenage-girls-and-the-legitimacy-of-fandom/[/quote] I don't dismiss them because their fans are teenage girls. I dismiss them because as artists they're not particularly ... compelling. I mean, Taylor Swift can write a good melody, but everything she writes is the same. At least she's a pretty good role model. The rest of them are truly style over substance. It's fluff and it's superficial. These are not virtues to me.[/quote]
