It's like bullying at school but on a larger scale. If we are told someone is cool then we fawn all over them, whereas if we are told someone isn't cool, we pile hatred upon them.
Truth is, there's often no difference. It's hard not to go with the herd, but we should at least try. Especially when it's on a larger scale.
Seriously, who wants to live in a society that bullies teenage girls (often without even hearing her whole song)? How can anyone make a judgement based solely on other people's judgements?
The song isn't great in my opinion but when the Spice Girls released Wannabe, my sister and I turned to each other with :O faces and both thought it had to be a practical joke.
The music industry isn't really about what's good. It's about what people can be conned into listening to. And the industry has done a great job with Rebecca Black. More people have heard that song than merit alone would have allowed.
IIN that I don't know what exactly differentiates Rebecca Black?
