Why Do Critics Do That?

Submitted by Sl3ster t3_zxk9xv in Music

Why do critics review musicians, underground or mainstream, and they give them either bad or good reviews, but some artists that are well known don't get any attention from them? (Ex, Ed sheeran, imagine dragons etc) like they don't give em bad reviews, they're just ignoring them

The artists you mentioned are already way too over-saturated in the first place. Why do they need a good review from some paper to get tickets sold to their concert?

I'm glad if their spending their time on acts that might not get that kind of attention otherwise!

They probably assume that most people already know what to expect from mainstream artists. Perhaps they get better engagement from readers/viewers when they draw attention to newer stuff.

Probably because they consider themselves art critics, and those musicians aren’t artists (to them).

I love Phish and have the same issue. Critics are full of themselves.

Critics are turds that load up op-ed’s with trendy superlatives and attempts at wokeness
