Never said I liked it. I've heard two songs from it, and I don't remember anything about them. Didn't mind 'em at the time, but if didn't know it was gkmc, I would've never guessed it was as acclaimed as it was.
Vis a vis taking things personally, you should've known better than talking smack about Bruce.

Also, failing to see how pop music is overhyped because you only read negative press for it is sort of... not seeing the forest for the trees. Music doesn't get popular without a degree of hype. Ever. All of the artists you listed received a ton of hype, especially Carly Rae Jepson. I could link you to article after article and blog post after blog post raving about Call Me Maybe.

By the same token, I'm absolutely happy to give you an essay on why I don't think Call Me Maybe's a very good song, that doesn't mention commercial success or disparage pop music at all.
