With the power of the internet and shortened attention spans, I have noticed a rather disturbing trend in music and the stating of opinions...
There is no in-between between "love" and "hate". Either you're down or you hate it.
It's a bad sign when you read interviews over the internet and people who know that something or someone isn't that good at what they do, that no one can actually say "I don't like this because..." without getting mouth-breathers coming online saying "OMG, F U hater! You're just jealous of what they did!"
This is a lot quicker write than the last one, because I'd rather not waste time with this point, but the fact is, if we can't come out and say "I don't like [so and so]", then the ability to critique and help people grow with their skills and talents via a fresh set of eyes and ears is dead.
And so is music. So in closing, there's a fine line between truth and hate, a middle ground. It's called "constructive criticism", don't be afraid to hear it, share it and who knows, maybe you can get something out of it, other than a reason to rage.
This was the Ill Opinion. Stay gold.
