A lot of fans blame the company, and regardless of whether those criticisms are justified, I find it interesting that they have no problem criticizing the company’s promotion, investment, styling, and so on, but somehow bringing up the actual songs seems to be off-limits. Aren’t the songs ultimately the most important part? All those other things seem relatively minor in comparison.
And criticizing the songs is no different from criticizing the company for its promotion or investment decisions. It doesn’t go against their usual argument of “don’t blame the artists” either. Yet some fans seem particularly unwilling to accept criticism of the songs or even the suggestion that the company should bring them better songs next time.
I’m genuinely curious about the thought process behind this. Why is this particular criticism so difficult for some fans to accept?
ps. I’m talking about these kinds of discussions between fans of the same group. Obviously, it can be a different story when fans of another group make comments like this, and I can understand why that might rub people the wrong way.
