Are You a Swifty?


I am. I think she's great.

And You?

I have an old (in both senses of the word) friend who was bewildered when he in the late-70’s learned of my love for ABBA. Rock music snobs have always looked down upon Pop music. Jazz snobs look down upon Rock music, Classical snobs look down upon all other musics (except perhaps Jazz), etc., etc.

My ABBA records sit on the same shelf as my Mose Allison and AC/DC records. 😊

 

I used to have a couple of Abba 8-tracks.  In certain respects my tastes were rather eclectic back then, and in certain respects they still are.

I think she's talented and has a good voice---but I probably wouldn't go see her in concert. I streamed part of her Eras concert and have a couple of her songs on Spotify. That being said, I think he songs are just mediocre at best. After trying to listen to a few of her songs, I get bored and decide to listen to something else. 

@bluorion Same with me. People who have such negative reactions just don't have enough on their plates to do. Hence why I say 'Crusty Old Audiophiles' to people who have such negative reactions. Swift's music isn't written for them, it is written for a younger audience.

Don't like Taylor Swift, don't listen - it is as simple as that.

This thread shows why audiophiles are a shrinking group, all attitude all the time.

The thread is called, “Are You a Swifty?”  
The people posting here are addressing the question.  
Some say, “yea” some say “nay,” some say, “meh,” etc. etc.  

No transgression occurs, no evidence of some sort of personal flaw is shown when a comment is “nay,” or “meh.”  
That’s just a person (at least, I assume it’s a person and not a bot) contributing to a purely subjective topic.
