    What a silly false equivalence

    You only think sports are normal to watch Bc someone has told you they’re normal to watch, most likely your family has rooted for 1 football team for generations.

    Doesn’t change the fact that there’s hyper a***ytical weirdos in every field

    Both revolve around watching other people perform at the peak of their game while the watcher sits on the couch and does absolutely nothing

    Is it wrong to have a favorite director or artist instead of a favorite player?

    Nah it's not. In sport the best athletes usually win at the end. In music nowadays the ones who usually win have the biggest d***rider and sometimes the quality matches the success but most often than not it doesn't.

    So how are the two things similar ?

    Tbh the artists didn’t get worse, the market and listeners did.

    i disagree, i think the production on kennys album was pretty mid for his standards, and his lyrical performance was a lot more convoluted than in the past

    clb was just mostly filler

    I listen to music because i like the way it sounds plus im trying to hear the artists take on life and their experiences. That’s why we love music at the end of the day.

    Nobody is talking about music w their people on some “yeah but he didn’t clear 80k in his 2nd week 🤓”

    So find it b**** you can't say someone does the same over and under for music as someone would do for sports and then not have anything to back that up with

    You are a complete dumbass if you think reading books as a hobby sounds like "loser s***" in the same way that hyperanalysis of music/movie commercial performance is.

    Fine then I'll get more specific and say reading manga. Being an adult and reading superhero comics. Watching anime. Lots of s*** sounds like loser s*** to people that don't participate.

    People in box office fantasy leagues probably think you're a weirdo for posting here. At least they're competing against friends and playing a game. You get nothing from arguing with strangers online

    a lot of people do argue that the quality of music is based on popularity/sales

    that argument is very common among "casuals"

    Even casuals don’t do it irl. Only Twitter pop fans do it

    Casuals are probably the furthest removed from any sales talk tbh

    idk one of my boys always argues based off popularity/sales and he dont rly listen to music like that

    he says if ur a number one artist its impossible that you arent a good artist because the point of making music is to sell it............

    Casuals don't even care about sales nor do they read any news related to them.

    You start talking about sales irl to casuals and they'll rightfully look at you like you're a madman

    Sports are one of the main things that make us human. We watch for the art of the game, the amazing feats, and the sense of community that the teams give the fans.

    You’re trying to draw a comparison between a***yzing music sales and discussing sports stats to see who the best players are.

    That’s a false equivalence. The sports equivalent to sales or box office watching would be comparing which player has more Instagram followers or sells more jerseys or who’s net worth is higher

    maybe my sample size is a lil low but i think if you asked a million random people whether sales and music quality are correlated most people would say yes

    Yeah I love sports because of a love of the games and the pure excitement it can provide. But that doesn't mean I can't have fun on the side trying to predict and a***yze it through fantasy leagues and sports betting.

    That's at least how I look at this sales s***. And I get how people can do that with movies too. At the end of the day you're just trying to guess numbers. Doesn't matter where the numbers come from.

    Edit: this applies to real sales discussions. not stan wars and circlejerking
