Top 10 Most Unfairly and Harshly Hated Musical Artists

I'm not surprised Justin Bieber is on this list. Do I approve of spitting on people? NO. Do I approve of cheating on one's wife? NO. But do I approve of acting like Justin Bieber is the worst person on the planet just because of these things? No.

It's really ironic how Justin Bieber haters shame him for all the questionable things he has done, yet they excessively hate on him by bullying, trolling, verbally abusing, and insulting him. They think that all of that is okay for some reason. Some even wish death on him. They have been treating him like that since he started his music career at 15, when he was innocent before he did anything wrong.

It's almost like they believe that if they do anything wrong, it's "perfectly fine" and "okay," but if Justin does anything wrong, even if it's not as bad as what they do, they shame him for it all the time. This shows that JB haters live in their own world and don't care if what they do makes them look stupid, ironic, immature, or hypocritical. They will go for it just to hate on Justin Bieber. The JB hatebase is one of the worst hatebases ever.

I wouldn't call them good, but they're definitely more what I would think of as "don't really care for them" bad than "worst rock band ever to sign a record deal" bad.

Their music is generic, sure, but they've made some good songs and they are nice guys in real life, apparently.

Their music is good, honestly. I never understood why they got this much hate. Similarly to Justin Bieber, it's probably a case of people bandwagoning.

Sure, it's easy to hate on 1D because of their hysterical fans or their generic music, but some of the boys from 1D have really come a long way in terms of artistry. Harry Styles is a prime example.

I'm shocked that nobody added her to this list, so I did. When "Friday" first came out, people started bashing it and acting like it was the worst thing ever. She was just a young teenager when this song was released, and she ended up getting bullied and receiving death threats because of it.

It seems that she has since distanced herself from "Friday," but the amount of hate and death threats she received was extremely harsh and undeserved. People label her as one of the worst singers of all time solely because of that song.

The treatment she has received over her past relationships was just unfair. Some people called her a "crazy ex-girlfriend" just for pouring her heart out. Now she finally has a long-lasting relationship and no one talks about it. I guess that's a good thing.

She actually has a GOOD VOICE and GOOD SONGS. I haven't been listening to any of her more recent songs, but all the songs from around 2001-2017 are REALLY good. She gets way too much hate for the substantial amount of talent that she has.

She has made some questionable songs, but her entire discography does not suck. People are just bandwagoning.

I know he's pretentious to some people and that others are mad at him because of U2 dropping their album on everyone's iPhones without their consent. However, he's a great man who does a lot of charity work.

Wow, that comment about Jessica Simpson. Sigh. What was he thinking? However, I will concede that a lot of people seem to claim his music is bad without much of a concrete reason.

I just found out he plays on Pyramids by Frank Ocean, so that on its own puts him in my good books as a musician, at least.

Whether it's because she dated Justin Bieber when they were young or because she made silly pop songs, she doesn't deserve the hate she gets.

I wouldn't say she's an amazing act or anything, and I can definitely understand why someone would dislike her music (even if I honestly like a lot of her songs). However, she is a frequent target of the "not a real music artist" criticism and gets a bunch of personal attacks for little discernible reason.

I bet there are two types of people who hate BMTH: (1) people who hate metalcore, and (2) people who hated their change in genre. Needless to say, BMTH is a great band, even when they sound "poppier."

Yeah, most of their songs sound the same and the guy's vocals sound like a rooster. However, they are not bad artists. They are okay and made memorable songs.

I mean, he does have some damning sexual assault allegations against him, and he's burned a Bible before.

The hate on Sexyy Red is just blown out of proportion. Sure, her music may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is definitely not for everyone. If you don't like Sexyy Red (or female rap in general), just stay away from her music and move on! Thank you.

When Kesha became famous, she faced a lot of hate because of her formulaic songs, heavy use of AutoTune, and party girl image. However, people tend to forget she has vocal talent, which shows on "Prayin'."

What has this guy been up to lately? He made like 1-2 moderate hits then disappeared. I guess some people hated him for trying to sound like Bieber.

I understand that some people hate him because most of his songs sound the same or because of his raspy vocals. However, he's very friendly in real life and is definitely someone I would have a drink with.

At least he knows his music sucks. He said it himself. And he's a cool dude, no doubt about that.

Only hated for being authentic. She has her influences, but she doesn't copy Madonna even though she tends to sound like her sometimes. She's a very talented singer and a respectful person.

She's often criticized for being nothing more than a Madonna copycat.

Cannibal Corpse isn't a band that is supposed to be taken seriously. Their songs can be seen as extreme and gross, but they are like a horror movie in music form. A lot of the band members seem like cool and nice people.
