Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn’t mean that their opinions are right. When it comes to music, movies, and other entertainment—there’s a right and a wrong opinion. Sorry, not sorry. While some refer to these as “unpopular opinions,” I refer to them as absolutely incorrect and preposterous opinions—bad takes.
Recently, Twitter account New Branches asked people online to share their unpopular music opinions.

And, boy, do they deliver. Brace yourselves, this will hurt.
1. Eminem is trash.

2. Nickelback is good.
Nickelback is a good band but everyone hates on them because the internet told them to https://t.co/PS0i8qcETi

3. And, so is Katy Perry.

4. The Beatles are overrated (this one hurts my soul, bro).

5. Ariana Grande has no talent.
Ariana Grande isn’t that great, and her recent single 7 Rings is horrible. People are just flocking to her right now because of the Mac Miller situation and her recent engagement and then breakup with Pete Davidson.

6. People pay too much attention to the wrong artists.
Too much attention is paid to the wrong "artists"

7. Genres ruin everything.
genres ruin so many amazing bands/albums/etc for people and it’s ridiculous. artists should not be confined to one style of music because it’s how they started out. let artists grow and change, it’s better for them and for you because you have a taste of something new every time. https://t.co/f9ScKSi81Q

9. Song lyrics ruin sh*t.
songs don’t have to have lyrics to be powerful https://t.co/afexd9ycsl

11. Yeezy ain’t that great.

13. Classical is underrated.

14. Today’s music is not worth the hype.
Music nowadays is trash 🗑 there’s so many rappers that can hardly even rap, the same beat to every single song. There’s also no production in music anymore. If you look to the 80’s there was soooo much thought into the music and lyrics and vocal abilities

15. But, others say music today IS GOOD.
Music these days IS as good as it used to be. There’s bad stuff in every generation, we just get to hear the good stuff through nostalgia goggles (or technically nostalgia earbuds). Stuff these days is better produced, more inventive, and more creative than it ever has been. https://t.co/g2HtwFcBgK

16. Video game music is real music.

17. To be a “true musician” you have to write your own music.
true musicians write their own music…,,,,,,..,,, u can have a good voice / be talented on an instrument but if u didn’t write the song (or created an adaptation of one) u shouldn’t be given credit for it

18. Country “slaps.”
