Valid point, I guess, but it's not exactly the internet specifically that's the source of the issue IMO. I'd say that people hating specific musicians whose music they don't like/annoys them has been an issue for aeons, but it's harder to completely escape their tunes now that it's played practically everywhere 24/7 - mall PAs, the cell phones of people passing you in the street, etc.
The 'net is just the most recent forum to gripe about how annoying so-and-so's music is, although in a sense it seems to have gotten more extreme in the vacuum provided by online forums. It would take quite a bit for a conversation about an annoying lutist, opera diva, etc. to escalate to plans for murder in the 1st-19th centuries by comparison, despite it presumably happening a few times probably.
My bean, if you think killing someone is a reasonable response to an ever-present annoying tune you should probably speak to someone.
...and also stay away from Michael buble
I'm not saying it's reasonable per se, just that it's not as rare as one might hope. People have been killed for much less all throughout history.
True, but it's not the sole factor.
People snapping at stupid shit only happens when there are other absolutely untenable forces at play that already have them running at near insanity.
Uhhh... You think they plotted to kill people because of her music?
This was far-right, anti-lgbtq, "anti-woke" terrorism.
Was it? Ooh damn, that fits the profile to a "T" then. I don't follow celebrity news, I guess that she's a pretty staunch/vocal supporter of LGBT+ issues?
she is, and she also has a massive LGBT+ following. you'd expect that crowd to have a decent percentage.
Relax people would kill you for wearing blue shoes. We're animals at the end of the day and uncivilized when we get to it. Don't rationalize this extreme.
Pshh, of course a red footed grey sock wearing aglet lover would say that.
