They're rubbish!! or maybe you just don't like them

[upside downer]

I'm going to see Morrissey perform tonight in Nuneaton, just popping into Wetherspoons for a bite to eat first.

‘It’s rubbish!’ Is something many of us have said when we were kids etc . As we get older and progressively wiser, ‘it’s rubbish ‘ then manifests into ‘I hate it !’,but if you take the  time to find out more about the artist/ comedian / tv show etc then you can be more justified in giving reasons why you dislike or absolutely hate something . At least you have a reason to have a sensible discussion with someone rather than be seen to be ignorant . 
It’s easy to pick on bands such as Coldplay and nickleback etc as they have been hugely successful and been on ou screens a lot initially .

 

Anyway fwiw , ‘I hate ‘ U2 and Bono in particular! No, sorry Just Bono as after paying a huge amount to see them on the vertigo tour after a few songs he turned the gig into a give me money for the starving charity event ! Why didn’t someone assassinate him there and then ?? But he is talented. 
Van Morrison , the father jack of music ! Hugely talented but I can’t stand his music . 

‘It’s rubbish !’ The Fall ! I saw some long programme about them on channel 4 I think it was many moons ago . Yes, that was rubbish ! Over an hour of my life wasted.

Mark E smith . Come across as a stumbling  aggressive drunk with issues. 
 

‘It’s rubbish and how did they become famous ?’…Mrs. Browns Boys obviously. James Corden , a vacuous annoying tub of lard ! Miranda Hart ! Russell Brand 🤮

Keith lemon 🤮 

 

‘It’s rubbish and I hate this song ‘ White Rabbit ! Pass me the razor blades , I’m so depressed ! Imagine John Lennon ! Thankfully he can’t write anything as bad as that anymore. 
 

As for Wetherspoon the coffee is okay . The ducks around here prefer to steal bags of crisps from Greggs , which may explain something 🦆

I strongly agree with the general sentiment of this thread, and have always had a sense that I should try harder to 'get' stuff I don't like.

 

But I also think there is some stuff that after careful consideration in the spirit of open-minded self-improvement, truly, genuinely, objectively is just utter toss.

I don't think you have to do that.

 

If I don't like something I just ignore it and therefore have no opinion to share.

If I didn't do it, I'd have missed out on a lot of stuff I grew to appreciate and ended up learning from.

 

Not everything though, some of it's just rubbish.

Correct her and call it "her opinion" - will probably drive her up the wall, lol.

 

The distinction between objectivity and subjectivity ought to be taught in schools.

Side note: I met Van once and he was friendly. Me and my Dad saw him in a park and my Dad said 'I've just been singing one of your songs' and Van said 'are you in a band'  and my Dad's response was 'no, just singing it to myself' and there was a bit of a laugh and friendly small talk.

One of my friends despises him 😆.He likes him as much as I ‘like’ Corden . I don’t dislike Miranda ,but she seems very wooden like.

 Sherwood Forest and very one dimensional with the on purpose gormless look. She is about as funny as Mel and Sue . ( is it Mel?🤔) 2 unfunny individuals who seem to have an in joke thing going on that I cannot be bothered to find out what it is .

Young people's music is so simplistic and obviously aimed at those with a short attention span. But I love Sophie Grey for some reason..?`

 

People who call Basses 'Guitars' are clearly wrong (or chronically uneducated), as our hallowed instrument was designed as a more portable alternative to the Double Bass. Therefore it's an Electric Bass.

 

Coldplay make me feel depressed. I just can't do it.

 

A little bit of drive added to the sound of a Bass can be great. But distortion? Leave it to the guitardists to create that wall of nasty noise.

 

Flatwound strings. I love the sound in isolation, but can never use them live. My sound just disappears into a deep, sonic hole in the ground.

 

Tablature is the work of Satan himself. It's only representative of how one player played it, and often has no representation of the rhythm. Learning to read notation is so much simpler.

 

Yes, yes, I know it's all just in my head...

What makes him shit in your opinion?

 

My opinion.

 

He has written a few good songs, rather like Only Fools and Horses had a few funny moments. Mostly just twee dross though. This is, of course, my opinion, and therefore cannot be wrong, although you may have an opposing opinion, which also cannot be wrong because it's your opinion. Neither, however, is an objective fact, unlike Only Fools and Horse only having a few funny moments.
