Why do members here try to underestimate our knowledge in music? Anytime a young member’s age is brought up everyone acts like they’re dumb. If someone makes a Whitney vs Bey poll and Bey wins it’s “unfair” because there’s too many young voters. I don’t think it’s fair to generalize all of the teenage members and assume that we’re Disney/Nickelodeon and boy band stans, because I know a lot more music than some of the others. I listened to my sister’s CD’s a lot growing up and began to like 90s R&B singers like Toni Braxton, Aaliyah, TLC, Monica, Sade, and Brandy. Instead of watching The Backyardigans and stuff like that I was watching shows like TRL, 106 & Park, and those E! documentaries, so I knew a lot more at than most little kids. When I was a kid I used to stan so hard for girls that weren’t popular at the time like Christina, Kim (
) and others. As a 15 year old I get frustrated when older people say stuff like “teenagers don’t know what good music is". While that may be true for some, it doesn't apply to every teenager.
When people in your age group make statements like that, it kinda discredits everyone else.
