Simply not liking a song because you don't like how it sounds is fine. I am in no way saying "a possertive comment should outshine a negative comment", I am fully appreciative of other people opinions, I am always careful what I say. Like I say the "Haters" I (and this song) refers to are just people who hate for attention, even if they genuinly do hate whatever they hate, they're main purpose is to point it out to the fans, knowing that they are going to react. They're not just doing what you guys are doing, and saying "Sorry, in my opinion (such and such) isn't that great." or even "No offence, but I really can't stand (such and such)". which is perfectly acceptale online behavior (and offline for that matter). No, they're the guys who are invading our forums with troll like comments, they're there ones who upload a stamp on DeviantArt which anti-(such and such), and purposley put it in the (such and such) section, so the fans can see it - and then defend their opinion when the fans react by acting like they tracked him/her down, when no, they just searched for pictures of their favorite show/movie/game, and instead got that. If you have to promote your hate of something on DeviantArt fine, you are entitled to your opinion, but if you don't want the fans to flame you, don't stick it right where they're going to see it!
So, I don't mind people hating this song, or anything that I like deep down. If something has a nostaligic hold (which this song doesn't) or has some kind of emotional attachment to me (which this song doesn't really) I tend to take it personally sometimes. But I don't mind people hating things, so if I came across that way, I'm sorry.
Thank you for answering me, though everyone - I guess the song does in someway provoke the hate, so thank you for pointing that out. Also, Neo Cracker also makes some good points, and maybe that is the case. Personally I didn't interperate the song to be doing what you said, but maybe it is in away. I may be wrong, but I kind of talk the whole "You can't stop ____ing me" (that wasn't meant to look the way it does...) to mean more that they can't stop showing her things rather than being obsessed with her completly, but maybe it's just my desire to have a song that does, what I thought this song to do that I looked at it with my own version. If that is the case I appologise for this thread, but will continue to love this song, as I just like how it sounds, if you don't like it that's perfectly fine, as you've explained it to me. But don't think I'm saying you need my permition to hate something - it's just there's very few songs I actually hate, so to me they have to do something really bad.
Sorry if I offended anyone though.
