Shimin Shamim You know I actually kinda agree with you. They aren't bad people, really and they are just pop singers. To me they are just harmless really. Swift has gotten better over the years, her latest songs haven't been so bad. Blank Space is quite catchy. The thing with her doing songs about exes etc. is really only slightly annoying but it did get overwhelming. There's a male equivalent to her, a band called Theory of a Deadman and they are perhaps even more annoying, with literally 7 in 10 of all their songs being about being dumped by some chick or some chick who doesn't want to hook up with them. But different than Swift, they aren't talented at all for being a Nickelback knockoff.
What I really dislike about her is that she thinks Spotify isn't paying her enough. Allow me to give you some perspective. My favorite band of all time is Bad Religion. They have been around for 35 years and they made, as a band, a very small percentage of what Swift made and Swift has only been in the music industry since 2007. At an average age that is approaching 50, they still tour, around the world, and play roughly 100 shows a year, each show costing at most $50 and their set being an hour long usually. They are, for the most part, self managed as well. When they were Taylor Swift's age, they were booking their own shows. But why aren't we hearing anything from them? I feel like maybe a publicist told Swift to say what she said about Spotify not paying her enough tbh.
1D are just another random pop group, so that's all I've ever expected of them. I just don't like the music they play, but that's about it.

Psy was just a flash in the pan. Only reason why he couldn't hold up was because Gangnam Style was just a fad and Gentleman was just an after effect. After he released Hangover, he was already forgotten.
If 1D changed their style they may or may not have the same legion of fans. Same with Swift. It wouldn't matter because in order for them to stay relevant in any aspect, they would need to come out with new stuff on the reg. Music just doesn't have its mainstays anymore because there is too much of it and everyone has ADHD now so artists need to constantly keep putting out stuff, even if they are remixes. Linkin Park is a great example of this. They put out new records every three years or so like any other band would, but were smart enough to make sure to also put out remixes of their previous material.
Look at Ellie Goulding and even Carly Rae Jepsen (who I will admit, is VERY talented). Three years ago EVERYONE was talking about them. But now they are forgotten. La Roux, one of my favorite acts of this decade so far, is now gone but in 2010 you couldn't go anywhere without hearing Bulletproof. The last time anyone has heard of Lily Allen, who was one of my favorite artists in the new millenium, was on a Pink song. And she had like one verse. Like the others mentioned, she waited too long in between releases.
The pace of popular music these days as compared to 15-20 years ago is MUCH faster.

IMO it went from underrated to overrated just by fanboy influence alone. I don't dislike EB. But CT is simply put, a better game. A lot of EB fanboys think its the best jRPG of all time and it simply is not. Chrono Trigger has Earthbound beat in character development, plot devices, sidequests, and most important of all in a jRPG, Replay Value.
Earthbound has funny dialogue, amazing settings and a groundbreaking encounter system, but at the core it borrows from Zelda (find eight things before the final boss) and Dragon Quest (strictly turn based, each player has clear advantages and disadvantages, spell mechanics only exaggerating hitrates and not damage increases when you hit weaknesses)
Chrono Trigger >>> Earthbound. And this isn't a new opinion of mine, I've been saying this since 1996 when I got both games.
I WILL say this, for a jRPG published by Hal Labs/Nintendo Earthbound REALLY took me by surprise especially competing against the RPG giants that were Enix, Quintet, and Square back in 1995. So if this fact is considered I suppose it could be better than Chrono Trigger.
