Why is someone a hater if they don't like a certain artist/song/album?

[Acgrundy]

you people are so damn quik to judge.  someone says they don't like an artist and they are automatically labeled as a hater.  is there such thing as having an opinion anymore?

[Bramsterdam (see ya)]

I agree with you, its bullshit

[7even]

well when I dont like a certain artist, I tend not to post about him and I damn well wont open threads about him just to tell everyone that I dont enjoy the music.


why?
 cause I simply dont care about him, lol, I mean what's even the point in listening to music I dont enjoy repeatedly?
if you dont enjoy game's dre-tracks it's okay, Im damn sure you listen to music that I dont really like that much as well.
the difference is I wont make up a thread just to say how much [insert your favorite artist] sucks, or going in all the thread about that particular artist and tell all the people that they have no taste and are plain dickriders and all that...



it's a difference between not like to listen to an artist and hating on an artist.
 rappers I dont like, I just dont bother about.
haters, however, feel like telling the board and the world over and over again the same old shit "man, dont you realize he sucks? youre a dickrider for liking that album, it's horrible.. " .. constantly hating, with all passion.

well you said it......

and i hate almost every song snoop dogg came out with after he left tha row, and im a hater on snoop, i don't give a fuck.

Cause people can't tolerate other people's opinion and it's easier to label you a hater than to think that their taste is not the universal truth.

[Don Seer]

for the same reason people are quick to call people groupies....

[GangstaBoogy]

I feel you. Its like when an artist is hot if you dont like em that mean you a hater. Maybe you just like a different style of music.

[Eddie G.]

You're only a hater when you say something is shitty and like other things that are exactly the same style.  For instance, if you say that Tha Twinz - Conversation is gay, but you love Foesum - Perfection, you are hating on Tha Twinz

what?  I totally disagree.  Perfection and Conversation are 2 different album.  what is wrong with someone not liking one of them?  I personally like them both, but I can't understand why someone would be hating if they liked one of those albums but not the other.

Re: Why is someone a hater if they don't like a certain artist/song/album?

for the same reason your a dickryder if u like it.

[SGV]

Dickriders: Someone who can't admit when an artist does wrong (most Pac fans) or someone who makes extremely gay remarks about an artist (7even). Someone who will defend an artist to their death and gives them way too much credit (Shady/Aftermath fans).

Haters: People who don't know SHIT about an artist/style/genre, but will bash it anyway (majority of people who talk down on the South).

If you don't like something, that's cool. But, when you start generalizing and assuming, that's when you become a hater.

Yeah it's still a such thing as having an opinion so my advice to you is if you just don't give a shit about something, you just don't
