Good for you! It's fucking ridiculous. U2 is actually quite a popular little band!? Anyway I'm down to beat your boss up any old time. 😘

It seems that being wildly popular also brings with it a certain amount of ridicule and hate, which neither they nor you deserve. I'll back you up any day. There is no shame in loving a band that gives such joy and comfort to you. <3
Yooooo sorry this is so damn late, was a hectic week when I posted this. But wanted to say that I really appreciated your comforts back then <3 They were a great help to me. This community is little godsend and y’all are the best <33333
(Also re: U2 and popularity, I get your comments. But from my experience, it’s kinda rare for an artist of their calibre to get the kind of hate that U2 does. If you take a shit on most other classic rock artists, you’re belittled for it - the power is not on your side. Unless you have other U2 fans on hand, their popularity doesn’t seem to work as a defence. Maybe it’s just in my age group, but I’ll still get mocked relentlessly even if I say “yeah but they’re hella popular and hella classic.” Anyway! It continues to mystify and boggle me. I wish we could at least get an “I don’t like them but I recognize their influence/impact” outta these folks.)
