    I’ll always hate people who cause physical or emotional harm to others. I stopped listening to artists because of that. I understand that and think that the hate in this instance is more than adequate.

    But, to hate someone or someones art because they are ‘famously super hateable dudes’ or ‘generally aren’t a cool band’ is something that I don’t understand. You could have the most punchable face in the universe, but if I like your art, I’m gonna enjoy it, and maybe, in time, learn to love your face too.

    I understand, on the other hand, that some people don’t like certain music, and that’s fine. There are downvote buttons for that. I don’t like a lot of popular music, but I don’t hate it or the artist. I tend to ignore their art and in most cases the artist.
