[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Swiftie and seriously hated this album when it first came out. I still prefer her previous 4 albums by a lot but when I went to tell someone the few songs I liked I realized I kept listing them until I had covered 8 or 9. So it completely grew on me.

People, it’s art. It’s subjective. Relax. [/quote]

[b]Exposure effect.  If you want or like to be brainwashed into enjoying something and make sure you listen to it enough to you start to like it.  Okay?  But that doesn’t mean the album is good. [/b][/quote]

Good lord. [b]Shut up already[/b]. Maybe let people decide for themselves if they like something or not. [/quote]

Yes, you clearly want to allow people to have their own opinions! ;)

No. I want mine. I expressed it and you decided it was “wrong.” Have whatever opinion you want, you’re not entitled to mine too. [/quote]

Amen.  The “brainwashed” poster is so immature.[/quote]

Except that is exactly what I said. “If you believe that- okay?” Were my words. As in okay you can believe that.

I’m not sure why telling someone to shut up about it is better and “allowing opinions” except you agree with the shut up poster.

I bolded exactly what you said.  You continue to insist that anyone liking TS, this album, or any or the songs on it must be "brainwashed".  You can't simply accept that people have different opinions.  No one cares if you don't like this album - but for those of us who do, we don't need you telling us we're "brainwashed".  So, yes - I agree with the PP.  Shut up, already.[/quote]

It is a known and well studied psychological phenomenon.

[b]The mere-exposure effect is a psychological phenomenon by which we tend to like things merely because we are exposed to them.

So, simply exposing you to a random thing repeatedly, makes you like it. And the same goes for pop songs, products, and people — with the exception of those we dislike initially, seeing them more often can make us dislike them further. [/b]

Google it, there is plenty of information.  If you are mad at your brain for working like this, fine.  But yeah, we all get brainwashed to a certain extent. [/quote]

DP but this doesn’t explain why somebody might like a Taylor song. I’ve heard a ton of Christmas songs 1000 times and it doesn’t mean that I don’t cringe when I hear them or that I enjoy them.

I can think of a ton of popular songs that I have heard over and over again, but I still don’t like. It’s true that there are some songs that you might be ambivalent about that once you hear them more and more you like them, but it doesn’t explain every song. It’s stupid to say people like Taylor just because they hear her so often. A lot of her most streamed songs are not the hits on the radio. I’m very certain true Taylor fans don’t all really like Shake it off. I don’t like most of her songs that hit the radio with a few exceptions.[/quote]

+100
Most of the TS songs that I *don't* like are the ones that were played all the time, back in the day (Shake it Off, Blank Space, etc.).  Or, I shouldn't say I don't like them, I'm just tired of them.  They were fun when they first came out, but nothing I'd choose to play now.  My true favorites are the ones that never received that kind of play, that you have to deliberately find, and that weren't on her early albums.  The PP is going to have a stroke trying to convince people that they couldn't possibly like what they like.   :roll: [/quote]
