Okay I get it. High ayu standards. What I'm asking is something to difficult to explain apparently
I'm barely referring to what I'm only reading on this particular thread...the comments on ayus originality yes and many say this is why her music is not as enjoyable. However I've been here long enough, lurked enough artist threads, visited a few other forums like jpm for example and realize certain people do seem to act like some of the artists they listen to are on this high standard and never complain about originality and taking risks
Its ironic to a person of my tastes to see fans of those artists and groups complaining that ayu doesn't do certain things when I see what they're into and wonder...quite a bit....
I assume ayu just has ayu world. And if its not as good as other stuff in ayu world it doesn't compare to other artists I suppose
:3 it would help if I could list particular artists but that's not a good idea and I'm sure someone will not be too appreciative
Many ayu fans can really dislike certain facets of one song. Boring lyrics. Repetitive. Uninspiring. No effort. Rushed. Typical
g. And then I look at their new fav song lol ah~ u sure that's really what's wrong with it
But all in all its just my super picky taste against many peoples ability to tolerate the more generic
Its simply the fact that fans of other artists are perfectly fine with listening to bunches of generic music but when it comes to ayu its just all in bad taste, even though u could barely call the majority of her songs nearly as unorginal (but somehow the definitions for what is original and etc always change for ayu)
I still don't feel I did a good job at explaining myself. Do u understand me? I barely understand myself ugh. Why do I talk like I have an IQ of 2.
Ugh~
A little edit (hopefully no one writes anything yet): ayus not the only artist with fans who do this as there's a few other artists with mega-standards too. There's nothing wrong with doing that for any artists. Its just interesting to see how some fans operate when u get them around another artist. Like completely different fans. I think it would make more sense if some didn't say ayu was getting generic and just admit they don't like it as it is as it looks so hypocritical to see what else is "not really generic")
