    To say a person's music taste is shallow because you don't like Yoko Ono I think is a little much. I enjoy Death Grips, but I can easily see how someone couldn't like them and don't think they're ignorant for disliking their music. At the end of the day it's all about personal taste.

      Guy that fell off his horse I've to this day never met somebody who shit on Yoko Ono who actually knew anything significant about Ono, be it her musical history (Plastic Ono Band, Fly, Feeling The Space, Twin Fantasy, Season of Glass, etc etc etc), her place in the art culture of her time (being a significant figurehead in the fluxus movement, her contemporaries or her influence) or anything else which would show a reasonable thread of logic to justify the hate.
      The fact is, the vast majority of people who hate Ono do so because it's a socially accepted opinion which people never attempt to challenge in themselves.

      Look. I can't comment on whether people are right or wrong to dislike her, as I am not familiar with her music. However, in my experience, neither are most of the people who shit on her. It's true that most of these people just know her as the girl who broke up the Beatles, or have only seen that video where she screams into a mic in front of a bunch of people for 3 minutes. If that doesn't apply to you, then there's nothing wrong with you disliking her. Of course it's silly to claim someone is shallow for liking or disliking someone. But I do think he's right about most people who claim to hate her, and if it doesn't apply to you and you just genuinely dislike her music then it's ok.

    😂 All the comments triggered by his Yoko Ono take.
    He wasn’t saying you have to like Yoko Ono’s music. He was saying people who completely disregard it’s artistic merit are shallow and closed minded.
    I personally dislike a lot of classic rock, but I can appreciate the technical ability, storytelling, and singing in a lot of songs.
    Yoko Ono was well versed in Japanese Imperial Court music, Gagaku. This style used a quavering voice to imbue heavy emotion into the singing. She mixed some of her traditional influences with western music in a radical way that was pretty experimental.
    If you don’t personally like how the experiment turned out that’s fine. But don’t dismiss her work entirely.

Ironically i found her stuff to be pretty shallow in its artistic depth. If you have a favorite song or album from her that you think i should give another try, please give me a revommendation.

      Nah, he’s just saying if someone’s only opinion of Yoko Ono is just that she can’t sing, then they aren’t aware of the influence she had in the music world, so their music interest is relatively surface-level, rather than being deeper in the sense of “behind the scenes” stuff so to speak. Doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate art and also dislike Yoko Ono, but at least acknowledge what she did in the music scene

    Okay, hear me out. At the very least, Yoko Ono offered John Lennon a door into some truly crazy music shit. If he had done two drone and shriek albums with him we would still be listening to them. Every resource was available for any kind of enlightenment journey and that was Lennon's professed goal. And he said no and kept doing what had worked before for him. And it sucked. Yoko was terrible but nobody was better equipped to handle her weird shrieking musical career in some way than John Lennon and he just chose not to. He did absolutely nothing about it. It's a really weird decision if you ask me

If anything I think he expected it and that's one of the reasons why he took Jim Carey's facial expressions as an influence, and the popular dances that can be edited to go to other tracks, and does it in such an exaggerated fashion. If anything he welcomes sampling and remixing the video into other things as he knows that people, he knows the influence of the internet and what editing a video can do for his own gain.
