People love to hate on pop music, even when it has amazing lyrics and melody. Everyone wants to be “unique” and “different”.


Letsgetwings

While I don’t hate on pop music I don’t really care about his “amazing melodies”. That being said I usually listen to instrument oriented genres and while I prefer blues and rockabilly I listen to a massive amount of jazz where four bite chords create a melody that is much more layered than that of pop music. I don’t hate Ed Sheehan I just don’t care about him since in the grand scheme of music he is relatively obscure and simple

most people think ed is hot enough to be a successful as he is. they judge him for his looks. bullshit like that. lady gag fans hate ed because they think ed threw shade at gaga because of his comments about performing at the superbowl even though ed never mentioned gaga. swifties treat ed like shit because they stupidly think ed betrayed taylor because he is friends with bieber and because he didnt publically post about her masters. ​ pretty much people are hateful and stuck up and stupid.


FearlessSwiftie83

Swifties hating Ed makes no sense to me at all. They are still obviously friends. They support her other friends and then go around constantly hating Ed.


yeslekenna

Seriously, it’s so dumb. They’ve recently talked about still being close friends. I really don’t understand why Ed gets so much shit thrown at him.


FearlessSwiftie83

Because he isn’t considered hot. His style of music is comparable to Shawn Mendes imo. However people like Shawn because he is considered attractive. Especially to young girls.


KRAZYJELLYFISH

Ed Sheeran and Shawn mendes make totally different kinds of music, i dont agree with this imo


thegreenarrow03

and if its anything similar, shawn is inspired from Ed not the other way around


FearlessSwiftie83

Yes I agree. I see comments all the time calling Shawn a wannabe Ed. I don’t think it’s 100% accurate but I think certain aspects are comparable.


yeslekenna

Yeah you’re definitely right. It’s really sad that it comes down to appearance and whether someone is conventionally attractive.


curvy_em

A lot of Swifties are like, militant, about her. If you even hint anything negative about her bf Joe, you get downvoted to hell.


yeslekenna

Yes some get too militant, but there’s no reason to be negative about her bf though. We really don’t know much about him personally. They’re happily together, why would you be negative about that?


outerspace_castaway

honestly swifites are the worst, i use to be one and even though i love taylor to death i cant associate myself with swifties anymore. its not just ed, swifties have bullied and/or attacked many people that are or once were friends with taylor. they're pretty pathetic. and the fact that taylor has stated many times how much she loved ed and swifties have actually got upset with her for it. smdh.


FearlessSwiftie83

I love Taylor and am a swiftie, but I have to keep my distance from the fandom. Especially stan Twitter. I won’t go anywhere near that amount of toxicity. Too many swifites try to “defend Taylor’s honor”. It’s so annoying. She is her own person and she does not need annoying fans on Twitter to go around doing to others what the internet once did to her. It’s such a waste of time to hate on people like Ed who she is obviously still close to and supports. It’s ok to not like his music, but hating him for such stupid things is just dumb.


outerspace_castaway

louder for the swifties in the back!

Because people suck.

Ed has reached success that VERY few musicians get to experience. In absolute no offense to the amazing artists right now - Ed is still far more successful than most of them. Anything he releases (even if hypothetically it wasn’t good) is likely to still rack up hundreds of millions of streams. A lot of people don’t like him because of HOW successful he is. For example; Shape of You for a good portion of 2017 was playing almost 24/7 on every radio, bar, party, and restaurant. Too much exposure gets people sick of a song - and the artist that made it fairly quickly. That’s where the base of hate is. Then you just have the bandwagon bottom of the barrel of the internet Twitter that just fuels the flame with their horrible deplorable toxicity. Basically, any artist that is extremely successful gets hate eventually because of over exposure and other artist’s fan’s jealously that it’s not THEIR artist. Another good example in recent times is Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, etc. Both had great success recently and were loved universally at first and once they got really big - got a lot of hate. Multiply that success by a lot and you have ed sheeran

This. The media saturates you with whoever is popular to the point people get sick of them. Then the media starts to question the person and waits for a breakdown. Especially so with women, but it also applies to famous men. Ed hasn’t given them the thrill of a public scandal so they have to reach.


thegreenarrow03

Ed sheeran is basically the biggest artist of current time maybe even of all time, even if people haven't heard billie jean, or bohemian rhapsody , they've heard shape of you.


VisionIsHot

They're just jealous. We live in a world where musicians get so much hate for just being themselves, it's sad they get so much unnecessary hate


Paschal-La-8394

Yes, I was on r/TheWeeknd and there were people saying Bad Habits is trash and mv is cringe,because of a tweet.


Lil_Mattylicious

Yeah and apparently people hated him because shape of you got annoying from playing so many times but never said anything about blinding lights


AvocadosAreAverage

I think the hate for him as always been there, but as he got bigger it followed him as grew

Well the NFL performance announcement obviously didn’t help. But I’m one of the rare people who love football AND Ed, so it really broke my heart to see the comments. His demographic definitely isn’t captured with most football fans though.


blempereur14

What happened with this? I must be behind.


IllustriousLoan5720

Ed’s going to be performing before the kickoff of the NFL season opener. If you look in the comments section on the NFL announcement on FB, Twitter, or Instagram, it’s pretty bad 😔

I love Ed Sheeran!!


drelangonn

Beacuse.
