    Sorry. I’m not explaining myself well and “just” was a poor word choice.

    I refuse to (try to) idolize anything (well anything tangible) and especially things that are important to me. So music is an art like any other art. Someone will love it others might hate it and that’s fine.

    The “hype” is idolatry. Kind of in the biblical sense.

    My relationship is with the music, not the artist. So no artist is with the “hype”.

      Hmm. If your relationship is with the music though, by extension youd have to care about the artist somewhat… so there’s no artist where you like a majority of their songs? Did you grow up only listening to greatest hits of the decades playlists? I wonder if this is more common among those who didnt grow up with albums.

        We’ve diverged from the OP’s question and descended into gatekeeping how to “music” properly.

        Time to finish.
