As for Justin Bieber, I am never fans of him and might never will but even though he got some 'attitude' he still have some good songs. For me what matters is I can listen to good songs so I dont judge whatever person behind these songs. Well he still teens and at difficult times. I doubt he will still like that in future.

As a counter argument for the whole 'hipster' argument (which i also do agree with)

Mass audience films or music is often made generic and 'safe' to ensure it's wide-scale appeal. Jurassic World for example was completely by the numbers, unambitious and didn't try anything new outside of it's safe cliches and franchise brand recognition.

Generally unoffensive for a wide scale everyday audience but it's a truly unremarkable film that doesn't do anything bold, new or really that interesting as a result.

People hate all sorts of things. The popular ones simply stick out because... well they're popular.

As for JB you have full right to hate him despite not knowing him personally. Just google "why hate beiber" and you'll get plenty of reasons.

Because different people have different tastes in what/who they like.

Love will bring upon Hate, especially if something gets more and more popular.

e.g. I f*cking hate Minecraft and I never understood the appeal yet many people enjoy it.

Even people as well liked as Adele has haters.
