True

Meh. Something is popular for a reason. Such a weird complex I always see in indie fans.

Not popular =/= Quality...

Some groups are popular but dont have quality music. I can name a few. Sometimes it's just because their concept styling, and personality.

Another reminder that those same good songs would be likely be more criticised (and praised?) than it currently does if it was released by a more popular and scrutinised artist

People love to go against the grain

I'm pretty sure everyone has both popular and unpopular songs that they enjoy

Isnt it a relative term?

And also, lack of popularity of a song does not equal quality

It can co-exist (and often does), and you can also have neither

bts blackpink and txt are popular and have quality

It's popular because it appeals to a wider audience, doesn't mean that what doesn't it's bad just because it appeals to a smaller amount.

Did Rollin quality suddenly improve after 4 years to become popular?

Just a general reminder. I think it's worth remembering because it can sometimes mind-trick you into either; thinking something is 'bad' because it was unpopular (even though you might personally enjoy it). Or getting perplexed why something popular gets a lot of criticism.

Yes

Agreed

Popular songs can have good quality

Popular songs can have bad quality

Non popular songs can have good quality

Non popular songs can have bad quality

Songs can be popular for their good quality, or their styling, or a dance move, or the music video, or the group itself, etc

Popular songs are more criticized in the same sense that popular things get more hate. More people tend to be aware of it and so it gets more judgement or criticism. It’s rare for a very popular song to be loved by all. Most of the time popular songs aren’t very experimental, just easy on the ears and easy to jam to.

could be different reasons

sometimes it just has better marketing

Meh. Market as much as you want but if the product is unsatisfactory I have the freedom to discard it.

I never said that? I simply think the mindset of indie stans who hate on something popular just because it is popular is corny. I used to be in rock fans community and this behavior was so rampant there.

Meh top 40 pop music is constantly seen as trash by many. In fact when did we stop saying top 40 is trash. That’s the default isn’t it.
