Re: How and why are One Direction so popular everywhere........?im only 17, but lets be honest there has been a decline in the quality of songs in the UK/Billboard charts. The fact that stupid hoe made it any chart just epitomises my point.(Original post by alwaysneedinghelp)
I guess this is the age old debate between the old and the young; "the younger generation have no taste in music, etc".
I'll bet you that when you guys were younger, people like Micheal Jackson and Prince, Journey, Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi, (whatever the kind of music you were into), etc were classed as rubbish music compared to the older days.
They can sing + have catchy songs + teenage girls like to look at them = success. -

I just don't understand why people can't accept that not everyone shares their opinions and taste?
Frankly, I would wish death upon anyone who even considers listening to the likes of Marylin Manson. Purely because I believe they are at the peak of what is wrong with the human race. But that doesn't mean I go on and on about it? haha
P.S. Stupid Hoe is the most popular song at every house party i've been at. Great song to dance to while drunk
P.S.S. I love Nicki Minaj, but that doesn't mean I don't like Adele, Mumford & Sons, Eminem, Bon Iver, Foo Fighters, Two Door Cinema Club. All different genres, all amazing. -

Re: How and why are One Direction so popular everywhere........?1. The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent only tend to be on maximum twice a week.(Original post by dylantombides)
The people who like their music have no idea what real talent is. The people who like them are probably girls who are about 15, buy all their clothes from Hollister, watch X Factor and Britain's Got Talent every night, love Bieber, Rebecca Black, Ollie Murs, JLS, N Dubz and any other corny mainstream pop artist(s) that make terrible, yet catchy songs. They probably go around gossiping to other girls about 'which one is the hottest' from One Direction.
2. Nobody loves Rebecca Black.
Haha now I'll get serious. I don't like One Direction either but if someone does, it's not necessarily because they have no idea what talent is, it's probably because they have different musical taste. We can't all think and like the same things.Last edited by Evangelica; 10-04-2012 at 22:12. -

Re: How and why are One Direction so popular everywhere........?and.......? It hardly seems a reason to love them and buy their music. I mean it makes me laugh how all these girls think they give a **** about what they think of them. All they care about is the money they are putting in their pocket by being young and desperate and buying their **** music -

Re: How and why are One Direction so popular everywhere........?HAHA, big mistake bro :P(Original post by newts2k)
WOmen are so shallow
Women can be shallow, but they turn into real b****** when you point it out
To be fair, men are just as shallow, if not more. Well, I am, when it comes to celebrities at least. -
