That's extremely homophobic and offensive. Just because some gay men don't talk about male artists here, doesn't mean they don't listen to them.

It's true though.

(Most) 12 year girls wish they were up on stage shaking their booties in high heels like Beyonce. So do (most) gay men.

So true. Not trying to be sexist here, but mainstream female artists (Katy, Gaga, Carly Rae) seem to be far more generic than mainstream males (Bruno, Kanye, Gotye) yet the Monsters criticize everyone for being generic. Tbh, "Applause" is one of the most generic dance songs I've ever heard. "Gorilla" is one of the most unique pop songs I've heard in the past few years. But ATRL'ers will have their own opinions.

A big part of it isn't the music. It's the persona. The whole pop girl image is something we idolize. Or at least find interesting. Pop girls take the time to craft a persona, hire a stylist, and are natural divas. They are more charismatic and command the spotlight.

Straight men have never been good at any of these things. Why are all the creative positions in the music industry occupied by women and gay men?

Because we really haven't had an actual interesting male artist since Michael Jackson.

The rest are boring. Are we supposed to make threads about Bruno Mars's new top hat?

The girls dissing acts such as Maroon 5, Usher etc. for making generic dance pop when their faves are using the same producer, making the same music

But the male artists don't get the flack from the GP that female artists do though for being "mainstream and generic pop trash" etc etc. Double standard tbh. So it bothers ATRL that their music is just as generic and un-innovative yet they are smashing and getting prasied for it.

In all fairness though, if any straight males are performing in the exact same way as any pop girl right now, the GP would not be there for it. Can you imagine the comments? "That's so gay", "Why is he acting like a girl?" etc.

All I've seen was that they aren't talked about that much here... ATRL stans mostly for pop girls. So...

A lot of gays just relate to females more and are not opened to males. I actually think a lot of it stems from self-hate, too. They idolize females, wanna dress like them and want to be like them.

Such an homophobic post especially coming from you

Frank Ocean and Adam Lambert don't have nearly the amount of diva-ness as Bruno or Kanye. Both of them are complete divas and they're straight.

Frank Ocean is barely idolized here, same goes to Adam Lambert.
More people prefer Bruno and Kanye.

How is it homophobic? A lot of what was said in that post was true, and you know it. It's not like I said, "oooh, ALL gay men hate themselves!!!". I'm speaking on those who HATE males and have no use for them.

There are a good 100+ 1D stans. 10+ Bieber stans. 50+ REAL Kanye/Drake stans and another 50+ for each who only like the singles. At least 100 Nirvana stans, and I have no clue what is up with Austin. I don't even know who he is.

I agree with this. But did you just drag everyone's faves with that last sentence, sis?

Not like he was lying

At the end of the day, who really cares? People are going to listen to what they like, and it just happens that the majority of ATRL users grew up listening to female artists. And as for the unfair dragging of male artists --- I think every artist, male or female, receives the same amount of hate. It just seems more prevalent towards male artists here on this site because of what I mentioned above.

I'm just being honest. All the pop girls are generic. Generic and pop about go hand in hand. Doesn't mean I don't love 'em.
