5 days agoPat Carty on the trials of music criticism: 'People can take it very personally when you express a preference contrary to their own'
Everyone's a critic, and that should be fine. Unless you happen to have said something about Taylor Swift. It might seem obvious, but it's OK not to like things. It's fine not to like a presidential candidate or the last Mission Impossible movie (bit slow to kick off, I felt). What is not OK is the way people nowadays reach for their digital pitchforks and torches if you don't like what they like.
