well in all honesty justin's team waited until all his core fans grew up before they brought him back

>female pop is good
>b-b-but not male pop

Three reasons:
- He was judged based on his fanbase since the beginning, by people who actually never listened to his songs
- The hate became a meme
- Now, he has evolved musically and is not as bad as he used to be

Marketing.

It's not
The new album is off the cringe charts
He can't even sing, he's not edgy

I honestly don't see the appeal

When his marketers realized they could manipulate popular opinion by viraling facebook memes about it saying things like "when u wit the boys and the new JB track comes on and ur all tryin to pretend like it's not fire"

Seriously if you fall for this shit kill yourself

This. He's aging and in 2-3 years maximum he'll be already far too old to be still marketed at kids, so the industry started the operation "le intriguing and mature popstar that every mature listener should know and love".

he's still bad but people now are justifying his music because he's no longer a kid

this

pure marketing is also the base for that whole "poptimism" thing.

hey bro we know you have great taste and like very ambitious and original music n stuff and so do we!!! BUT do you really want to be that pretentious jerk who can't appreciate good mainstream pop like <the things we sell go here>? huh? of course you don't! your coolest friends are into pop already and appreciate it and you don't wanna be that uncool sad guy who don't? HUH? >2015 >not being a poptimist HAHA did you see? we used so called meme arrows because we're hip and all just like you want to be! see you on Pitchfork front page!
