The reason I wrote about this topic.
Well, this date which I am writing this on, is quite close to the date which Justin Bieber got arrested.
First to clear some air, I am not a fan of Justin Bieber, but I do not hate him either.
So this post is unbiased, just whatever thoughts I have/had to be written down.
First things first, Justin Bieber, is or was a young innocent boy with just a YouTube account of him singing, though I admit I've never watched any of his videos before, would think that what he sounds like would just be the same in the song 'baby'.
This gathered a lot of responses, both good and bad, about how Justin sings and whatever goes on in that mv.
Yet, it was this video that allowed Justin to become famous, or infamous for some of you Justin haters. ( you guys need a name don't you?)
This caused a lot of outrage against him. Saying "he doesn't deserve it", "his voice sucks"and "his dad should have used a condom". Like really? How old are you haters? Likewise, the girls who liked him decide to make a fandom called beliebers and become on of the most annoying fan groups out there. Consisting of about 13 years olds average girls, they decided that Justin was the "biggest" and "best" singer out there. Seriously?
And stuff happened, people hated, people worshipped and people ignored.
And boom! Justin Beiber, quitting the music industry. What??? Dudes earning more money than me and he quits? Beliebers were sad, haters were happy, music became better (or worse?)
Like that wasn't enough news to handle, Justin was caught. For use of drugs, driving with an expired license plate and drunk driving.
Haters were overjoyed. Really, how boring is your life, haters? Beliebers were sad, *yawn* no surprise there.
Just like that, his life crashed straight down into a hole, a deep dark hole.
But now to get on topic. When he made his first album, how old was Justin? 16? And to receive so much hate on the internet must have needed lots and lots of counselling or a thick skin. The hate wasn't stopping, no it wasn't, in fact, memes of his song and family were made, not for the better obviously.
People even started to say, "'God' take Justin Bieber and gives us back 'popular person'". As if making jokes with people's life wasn't enough, the hatred turned into an insult.
The term belieber became an insult to anyone who didn't join in the hate on JB. Justin was made into a device of despise, where people went, "you attended a Justin Beiber concert, you must be ..." or "The guy above me attended a Justin Beiber concert."
If anyone defended Justin just because they were good people who didn't like others to be bullied, they would be called names and made fun of. Many people who had a neutral stand swapped to becoming a hater due to mob mentality.
People couldn't oppose as haters blinded by the very thought of hating became maniacs who couldn't be reasoned with... And would always think they were doing the right thing without any bit of humanity in their brains.
In my opinion, it became the largest form of cyber-bullying in the entire world.
