Sometimes shit is popular because itโs good and sometimes things arenโt popular cuz theyโre not good. SOME times. Not all the time. But sometimes lol and a lotta times the โI donโt like anything thatโs popular๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ people arenโt even debating musicโฆtheyโre doing this weird identity construction. Exclusively listening to obscure artists becomes some personality flex they use to signal that theyโre not like the masses. It gives them the illusion of more autonomy I guess or maybe more โcultural leverage.โ But popularity doesnโt invalidate quality and obscurity doesnโt create it. Itโs ok to like things that are popular. Youโll be aight lol
