thanks for this. I'm not very keen on Justin Bieber or RnB, but I must say that in this video, he's so cool and nice to the point of being charismatic. Good singing too
guilty pleasures are conceptually stupid BUT I did once overhear my friend's fucklord of a stepdad singing in the shower and I'm definitely pretty fucking embarrassed to admit that it wasn't half bad sounding

liking music isn't embarassing. but this whole thing with trying to make the act of listening to very popular music into something rebellious... that is embarassing. I am free from the shackles of other peoples opinions, look at me escaping because I am eager to hear what you think!
People listening to any kind of music as if it's an act of rebellion or subversion is insufferable to me. If you're living in the developed world, passive consumption and judgment of any kind is precisely an act of conformity, doesn't matter what genre of music it is.
I'd probably say Sign of the times by Harry Styles
Bit of a banger tho
More of a fan of Niall Horan's Slow Hands. Better than anything 1D ever did. However...
...if this thread is teaching me anything, it's that individual preferences can't be presumed for anyone, and that to dismiss an entire body of work is to insult a group of people's tastes, something that we shouldn't be proud of doing.
Another one I just remembered is yodelling sensation Bring Me Edelweiss by Edelweiss
Its nuts and it mixes Abba's S.O.S. with yodelling
Check it out
I used to own the 7" single

well that sounds a bit absurd to me, why is passive in there? a lot of movements in music have been motivated in part by people feeling like the popular spaces have no place for them and partially defining themselves in opposition with what they make. That spirit of rebellion is a part of a lot of great creativity and you have to have listeners with that spirit for the music to get off the ground. none of that is passive.
