re: 1989 - Taylor Swift Does It Again

I've just never understood why its cool to like basement dwelling losers writing cryptic, depressive lyrics, but not musicians who come from much higher social circles. Sure, I understand why somebody might not like the concept of bimbos without great musical talent like Katy Perry who are just a front for musical geniuses like Max Martin.

Just because girls happen to like it too doesn't make it any worse. The amount of talent that goes into a Taylor Swift album(world's best collaborating song writers/producers/sound engineers/studio musicians/equipment) just blows away that of random collections of 5 friends who used to smoke pot together and decided to start a band.

You can say that you prefer that kind of artistiness, but I don't see whats cooler about that. For the record, my favorites albums are typically by less popular artists. I just don't see why this board only takes things seriously that aren't popular. You don't see the movie board shitting on any high budget movie that teenage girls happen to like.
