Pop got badly ruined last year, Taylor Swift being a big offender. Her latest album was downright terrible and I don't get why it was so successful sales-wise, probably because loads of people somehow love her lyric style or something. I got really pissed at Bad Blood lately, because she's now done what I've been seeing too many pop singers doing, and that's collaborating with rap stars. The one she collab'd with on this, Kendrick Lamar is currently being praised by many to have probably one of the biggest albums of the year so far with To Pimp A Butterfly.
My initial love of indie first emerged in 2006 but it was in recent years that it really started to blow up. The thing I love about it is that it makes me want to listen to stuff that's different and has actual quality to it. That's why you see me posting lots of stuff related to the indie scene on Tumblr.
