Vespair@lemm.ee 8 months agoNo, I’m claiming hating the Beatles is a choice. Hate is active. People who dislike things don’t waste their time thinking about how much they dislike them and telling people proudly how much they dislike them.

Doing literally anything besides just existing and breathing the air each day is “a choice”. That doesn’t mean people only do things just to annoy you…

disliking =/= hating
i dislike most rap music, which means i don’t actively look for that genre of music to listen to it, but i won’t burst into flames if a friend of mine puts some rap in the queue at the party, and i won’t complain about it (unless they’ve been hogging the queue with non stop 3h of rap, then i will complain)
i hate dishonesty and manipulation, if i spot it i’ll instantly feel a surge of intense negative emotions and a strong repulsion to whoever was dishonest or manipulative (relative to the offence of course, lying about eating the snack i was saving vs lying about idk being faithful don’t prompt the same reaction)
i don’t think you can really hate any genre of music or particular band, as the other person said, proclaiming yourself a “hater” of a popular genre or group is just contrarianism for contrarianism’s sake, 5 years down the line it’ll stop being cool to hate on that music and that’s when you stop “hating” them
