Top Ten Music Artists People Hate Because They Think It's Cool to Do So
Remember when you were listening to the radio and that song came on you hadn't heard before and you thought to yourself, "This song is pretty catchy. I think I like it... I wonder who it is." Only to find out it was Miley Cyrus, or Justin Bieber? Of course you can't like them or their music, what would your friends say?This list isn't saying these artists are good or bad, but it IS saying that people are often told what their opinions will be before they actually make them up for themselves. Whether people are swayed by peer pressure or just jumping on the bandwagon, if they are making value statements about a music artist without giving them (and their music) a fair chance, based solely on the opinions of others, then those statements need to be taken with a grain of salt.
It's time to make up your own minds. You may decide the artist truly IS crap, or you might decide to stand up for your opinion even if it's unpopular. One thing is for sure though: nobody thinks a person who can't make up their own mind is cool.
Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette... read more It's ridiculous how annoying and immature all these users insulting him are. They literally think they're cool. This makes them look like idiots. Out of all the people who say they hate Bieber on this website, only 5% of them have a genuine and intelligent reason. The others? Not so much.
Social media.
Did it happen to Aaron Carter, Jesse McCartney, S Club Juniors? No. Because of social media, he gets the hate because people think it's cool to do so.
He is actually a good singer. The hate he's gotten is truly unnecessary. He isn't awful. He's perfectly fine.
Nickelback is a Canadian post-grunge band formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta, Canada. The band consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, guitarist, keyboardist, and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair... read more I gave them a listen because I heard they were awful. I was surprised they were not that awful, and I actually liked several songs, especially Burn It To The Ground - a pretty good hard rock song. Liking several songs didn't make me a fan of theirs, but at least I know they aren't awful.
I really don't get why they deserve as much hate as they got. At least they put more effort into their music than most of today's pop artists who don't even write and produce their own songs.
The most hated band ever. The hate on them can be really obnoxious. I think they are not as bad as people say. I don't understand why they get so much hate.
Rebecca Black is a YouTube personality and singer who's infamous for her 2011 single "Friday," which was the most disliked video on YouTube until "Baby" by Justin Bieber became the most disliked video in 2012. She has also released other songs, including "My Moment" and "Saturday". Got way too much hate back in the day.
Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang"... read more It depends. A lot of people hate her, but there are also people who unironically call her the queen of rap. I am not a fan, but I don't really hate her beyond a handful of songs.
She's the best, and y'all probably have only heard Stupid Hoe, Anaconda, and Only. She's very pretty, nice, and she's great.
One Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) were a British-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records... read more Some, but not all, people probably hate on One Direction because they're popular. With social media, people can be anonymous, so they take advantage of that by being overly confident to insult others. The same thing would have probably happened to NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys in the 90s if we had social media back then.
They've got some cool songs, though.
Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus), known professionally as Miley Cyrus, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus. Her voice type is Mezzo-Soprano and spans 4 octaves... read more I honestly believe that her 2013 phase wasn't because she was crazy, but because she was intentionally trying to shake her image as quickly as possible.
I don't like Miley, yet I think that Wrecking Ball is a good song.
Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

Imagine Dragons is an American pop rock band from Provo, Utah, now based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. The band's lineup consists of lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and touring drummer Andrew Tolman... read more I think Imagine Dragons are slightly overhated.
The Newcomers

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" "Birdman" Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. In the years to follow, he would go on to find his own... read more It's funny that people actually hate Wayne because he's the stereotype of a modern rapper. He actually started in the 90s, and The Carter III is on Rolling Stone's top 500 albums of all time. He might have had a bad album (Rebirth), but with classics like The Carter I and II, I believe he is underrated.
Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982), better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur.

Simple Plan is a French-Canadian pop rock/pop-punk band from Montreal, Quebec. The band has released six albums. They might be a bit cheesy, but they aren't as bad as people say, in my opinion. They are not like the Creed version of Green Day. Simple Plan only gets hated because some of their songs are cheesy. This band has a few songs I like: Welcome to My Life, Your Love is a Lie, When I'm Gone, Perfect, Save You, Astronaut, Singing in the Rain, Opinion Overload, and Grow Up.
Still, I think they are seriously overhated.

They rose to international fame while touring with One Direction... read more
Paramore is an American rock band from Franklin, Tennessee, formed in 2004. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro. Their older stuff is pretty good. Their newer stuff, though, is not as good.
