+198 Before Justin Bieber it was the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync. Before that it was New Kids on the Block and Menudo. In the 70s it was Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett. People always bitch about the latest vanilla teen pop act and how they are singlehandedly destroying music by being talentless, amirite?

THANK YOU!! I've been trying to find a way to put my opinion about that in the form of a post! I believe you have successfully done that.

I actually didn't write this, I copied someone's comment from Reddit (which is why I posted anonymously with "reddit" as my handle). I thought the same thing upon reading it, which is why I shared it.

What do you mean by "vanilla" teen pop? Last time I checked, vanilla was a flavor, not an adjective to describe a famous dude....

I shouldn't have to explain to you that "vanilla" can be used to explain things that are ordinary or that have no special or extra features.

At least in the past they wrote their own songs and played actual instruments

I'm not a bieber fan, but I'll admit that he's pretty talented. He's got crazy range, decent rapping skills, and can dance.
