Pointless rant

Am I an asshole for not liking Prince? More than just not liking him, but for not getting it at all.

Like I listen to his music and I see people reacting to it and getting totally into it, praising him as a genius and getting emotional, and all I can think of is "This is what's causing that reaction? Really? But seriously, REALLY?"

Was it a timing thing and (currently) nostalgia that made him so big? I'm 29 so I missed the 80s boat a little, but I've loved and mourned a ton of the great artists that have passed away within the past couple years. Prince is a standout among them in that I have a complete lack of opinion about him.

I take that back, I have a vague impression of him being an asshole for his attitude towards the internet and stories of people's home videos and websites taken down because there was some affliction with Prince's music some some way. But even that I don't care enough to confirm and clear his name / verify he was a dick.

The only thing musically associated with him I know I like is his influence on the character Powerline in fucking A Goofy Movie.

>iconic
>good at guitar

that's all he should have been

80s fags have the worst taste in music

people have different tastes dude. you don't have to like everything everyone else does. it doesn't make you an asshole it literally just means you don't like his music

>millennials like this actually exist and are old enough to post on Sup Forums

way to ruin the fun with your rational post

My only exposure to Prince when he was alive was Sexy MF. Love that song.
He passed and I finally got around to listening to the studio version of Purple Rain, a song I had somehow avoided my 23 years of life. That song is unfuckingreal.
In closing Prince is tight. He has at least one song for everyone. But also you're entitled to your own opinion.

keep idolizing, faggot.

Literally no one except for you cares.
I doubt even your loved ones care about whether or not you actually liked Prince because of how simply irrelevant it is to anything and everything that actually matter.

>keep appreciating good music

Thanks I will. And you keep idolizing whatever backpack rap or bleep shit you enjoy.

Except that's not reality and people will get mad at you for not liking something they do.
