Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
I feel like you misunderstood me so let me try to elaborate to fix that. My apologies.
You are making definitive statements, instead of framing your statements as opinions.
It might not improve your enjoyment of the songs, but they are objectively better lyrics by having more meanings.
Improvement doesnt need to be enjoyable. In the same way popular does not equal quality.
Im not trying to convince you to like the song anymore. Im pointing out that you misrepresented them with your comment and then doubled down on it. Its fine im not upset or trying to convince you to listen to the song more, im merely trying to explain, and at this point for anyone else reading this threads discussion.
Lyrics arent always meant to be deep thought provoking amazing literature, but serve the theme mood or tone of a project. You could say the same about dialogue if we wanted to broaden the scope of this discussion. Thats not a suggestion, just framing my purpose.
I hope this helps to explain what I was saying, and if it doesnt we will simply have to hash it out, or agree to disagree. Im fine with either outcome
In what way did I "misrepresent" them?
