Buddy Zen 354 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I don't know about you guys, but for me - it's quite a ****in bop, tbh. I always felt like the haters (and GP ) just didn't get the joke behind it like they did with SIO. It seems like people did too much describing it as childish. I'm 27 yo myself and I don't see any problems with the song. The lyrics are relatable and mature even when you include the "hey kids, spelling is fun" which relates to the song's catchy hook - the play of words "you can't spell awesome without me". Taylor really did pull all of aces out of her sleeve - brought to the game Joel Little (Lorde's Pure Heroin), Brendon Urie (GP's fan favorite) and Dave Meyers (the visuals are outstanding) AND it got the lead single treatment/privilege. Was it really not enough to overcome the "me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh" overral hate? Was it right to let the song fade?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARMA 1,022 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I give her credit for it's message but the sound is so childish It's sounded like kids bop, I literally thought it was a soundtrack for a Disney movie when I first heard it Cringy at parts too, like the spelling is fun part  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 59,929 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 When is hate towards something inoffensive justified  Never. You can dislike it all you want and thats fine and you can criticize but „hating“ is never the answer.  also people still quote spelling is fun THE IMPACT Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 20,561 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 No! It's an absolute bop, and it's a fun kind of song that's not meant to be taken super seriously. And it's the twin sister song of Shake It Off. People were mostly hating on the song because of "Hey kids! Spelling is fun"Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeIIadonna 5,480 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yes. It's a horrible song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon98 4,830 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Shake it off is melodically/ harmonically (is that a word?) and instrumentally a lot more interesting than MEh. I stan Taylor and I was so underwhelmed with me, not because it's childish in the way that shake it off is, but because it really isn't a great song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudraCNG 13,373 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 No! It was a bop. I much prefer this than artists pretending hard to be mature and sofisticated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 87,327 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Well, I don't like it but I don't dislike it either, it's an okay song. It doesn't deserve hate but not praise either. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
