Who are those artists loved by the masses that, despite their celebrity or contribution to music, genuinely piss you off? Do you hate them on account of their music, image, lyrics or perhaps another reason altogether?

Indigo Girls. My high school literature teacher loved these two dykes and would play their music in class when we covered The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and later The Crucible. She also liked Tracy Chapman, but while she wasn't my style, I can at least see her musical appeal. In the case of Indigo Girls, their talent is greatly overshadowed by their utility as liberal activists and ever so loudly touted lesbianism. At least the '60s produced the likes of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan or Neil Young who made compelling music in spite of their politics. Indigo Girls are little more than the Current Thing.

The Beatles. Holy shit, do I hate The Beatles. "Helter Skelter" might be the only song that doesn't make me want to club seals. The Beatles has always been a band far more interesting to study in terms or production and success than to actually listen to. Theoretically, they'd be great, but to me, they're a case study in mass hysteria. The cult of personality they've cultivated and identity as the quintessential rock band are infuriating.
 
I don't like Barry Manilow. I feel like his music is bland, and appeals to basic white women, but that's how I feel about most artists. The reason I hate Barry Manilow is my mom.

You see, my mom would listen to CDs in her car on repeat for months at a time. No randomization of the songs, just straight through the CD and loop and nauseum. She usually had multiple CDs for the artists she liked, but she only had a single Barry Manilow "Best Of" CD. I just got sick of listening to him. Day in, day out, it was always Mandy, American Band Stand, Copacabana, and more, and I hated it all.
 
Lorde is ugly and I would not have sex with her. Melanie Martinez is also annoying as fuck and the weird ddlg undertones in most of her songs make me want to vomit.
 
Linkin Park.

I'm glad the lead of that band killed himself. The fans should all do the same.

Ed Sheeran and Maroon 5, hearing shape of you and girls like you over and over on radio made me hate them. Especially shape of you
 
Michael Jackson. It's beyond his kid diddling and getting away with it, it's the fact that he is just that celebrated. I only remember his death so clearly even to this day purely over the fact that more people were shocked at how I could be so underwhelmed at the news of his passing.

He was truly the original lolcow.
 
Too many to count. The biggest among them is Barbra Streisand.
 
I like the Beatles' music but they kind of were pricks behind the scenes. You've all heard about John Lennon's wife-beating, edgy bullshit, and hypocrisy, but you also have George with his weird Hindu fascination (which led to them getting conned by Maharishi), his cheating on his wife with Ringo's wife, and even his continual cheating on his second wife while she just put up with it. Ringo was a drunk and cheated on his wife too. Paul was probably the most normal, but he's not so innocent either.

Overall, it's not that bad relative to the other nasty decadent shit that musicians are known for doing, but they're far from the squeaky clean image they've cultivated.
 
I also hate the Beatles. I can respect that they were good songwriters but holy shit their music is so annoying.
 
Eric Church. That "Springsteen" song is just uninspired slop with hillbilly garnishment.

I've developed a love-hate relationship with classic rock/dad rock. I like finding stuff I didn't listen to before, but utterly loathe what I listened to back in high school that I thought made me a badass, when it really just made me a tryhard faggot.

This includes, but is not limited to: Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC, KISS, Guns-n-Roses, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

And anything by Journey makes me wanna Chloe Sagal myself.
 
Oh, this one is easy.

Bob Marley made iconic music, but as a person he sucked. He regularly beat, raped, and cheated on Rita while using his Rastafari religious beliefs as both an excuse and a shield.

Both "No Woman, No Cry" and "Three Little Birds" were written as half-assed public apologies to Rita, I love using that knowledge to ruin those songs for normies. But for real, a lot of people have no idea that Gong was JUST as bad as John Lennon.

To the best of my knowledge, Bob's kids aren't nearly as bad as he was, but I've heard rumors about Stephen and Damian. Ziggy seems to be a legit good-hearted family man.
