Are You a Swifty?

I think she's talented and has a good voice---but I probably wouldn't go see her in concert. I streamed part of her Eras concert and have a couple of her songs on Spotify. That being said, I think he songs are just mediocre at best. After trying to listen to a few of her songs, I get bored and decide to listen to something else. 

@bluorion Same with me. People who have such negative reactions just don't have enough on their plates to do. Hence why I say 'Crusty Old Audiophiles' to people who have such negative reactions. Swift's music isn't written for them, it is written for a younger audience.

Don't like Taylor Swift, don't listen - it is as simple as that.

This thread shows why audiophiles are a shrinking group, all attitude all the time.

The thread is called, “Are You a Swifty?”  
The people posting here are addressing the question.  
Some say, “yea” some say “nay,” some say, “meh,” etc. etc.  

No transgression occurs, no evidence of some sort of personal flaw is shown when a comment is “nay,” or “meh.”  
That’s just a person (at least, I assume it’s a person and not a bot) contributing to a purely subjective topic.

I am not interested at all by almost all pop music ... Save few exceptions... I am a bot from the jazz and classical threads ...😊

I am ’Crusty Old Audiophile’ and i promote Indian and persian cultures...

😊

Audiophiles population decline because education decline and easy way to have decent sound at low cost in earphone made ’Crusty Old Audiophiles’ as me complete dinosaurus...Especially if this audiophile promote acoustics experiments and readings ... Most young will think that i am crazy because any earphone is enough and cheaper...

’Crusty Old Audiophiles’ are crazy , especially if they listen jazz, classical , persian and Indian...

Can one man be right against million peoples ? Yes i am right against hundred of millions in America, culture and litterature matter ... Sorry for the crowd...

And a manufactured product even when talent is there is only that : a manufactured product... We can appreciate it few minutes as for most pop singer ... A.I. will show you soon ... ☺😊

When i was young i thought that music was  only about personal taste. I was wrong , as litterature, mathematics, or any arts, it is not about tastes only , it is about education...

All painters are not Vinci or Turner or Picasso...

@mahgister I hear what you’re saying but it is virtually impossible to “prove” one work of art is “better” than another.  
I could sit here and drone on and on why a particular piece of music is “good,” with all the academic, musicological, music-theory-vernacular-laden talk regarding a given piece of music, but it’s ultimately still completely subjective.  
I don’t like Taylor Swift, but I will never “prove” that (blank) is “better” because it’s purely subjective.  
I may be able to make a well-formed argument fortified by extensive education but the Taylor Swift fan will say, “oh. Okay…yeah, I still like Taylor Swift more” and they won’t be any more “right” or “wrong” than me.  
Art is not mathematics or science.  
Math may certainly come into play in many forms of music: composition, performance, recording, and maximizing the fidelity of playback, but it is art, not math.
