I never realized how bad his music is.


I just saw a post in Instagram with a really bad song playing, and then I saw the credit went to him. I checked out his other stuff on YouTube and it's so bad. It sounds like the most generic pop.

More people would say your taste is bad than not.

Most people don't listen to Ed Sheeran.

Also the metacritic on his albums:

67/100
67/100
62/100
57/100

Hardly glowing reviews he's getting.

Well, that's middle of the road music for ya!
Guy's raking it in though.

I don't understand the appeal.

Sounds like some random dude who learned five chords and sits in front of Starbuck's making up songs as he goes. No reason to listen to any of it, let alone pay to listen. He's one of those inexplicable pop phenomena that come along once in a while, but are then utterly forgotten for the rest of history. Sinatra is still a star, sixty to eighty years after his peak popularity and a quarter of a century after his death. Nobody's going to be listening to Sheeran fifty years from now, or even know who he was.
