Cardi B’s explicit lyrics and bold/outgoing personality are often off-putting for many listeners despite her chart-topping hits.

Justin Bieber

Despite his massive fanbase, Bieber’s transition from a teen pop sensation to a more mature artist hasn’t resonated with everyone, and his music is often criticized for being formulaic and lazy.

Trainor’s detractors often say that her pop songs are very generic, her voice is cringy, and her themes of body positivity and self-love can come across as overly simplistic.

Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons has made a career on anthemic pop-rock songs. Still, many find their frequent presence in media annoying and oversaturated. People who dislike the band and their music say they lack any real soul and recycle the same formula repeatedly.

Pitbull

Pitbull’s upbeat party tracks are catchy, but the artist and his music are often criticized for being generic, lacking depth, and creating “party music” for suburban moms.

Lil Pump

One of the new wave of “Sound Cloud rappers,” Lil Pump, is known for his brash and often controversial lyrics. He is often on social media portraying himself as a drug user with a hyperactive personality. Critics say he is better as a social media personality than a rapper because his music isn’t good.

Iggy Azalea

Azalea’s blend of hip-hop and pop has faced backlash for cultural appropriation and a lack of authenticity. A user recalled the time she was on stage and tried to freestyle, which sounded like gibberish.

Jason Derulo

Derulo’s R&B-infused pop tunes are catchy, but many listeners find his music to be overly commercial, lacking substance, and sung by a wannabe model.

Once praised for their alt-rock sound, Maroon 5’s shift towards mainstream pop has led to criticism for producing formulaic and radio-friendly tracks. This added to the fact that the lead singer is a womanizer who stepped outside his marriage to flirt with a woman on social media.

Florida Georgia Line

Katy Perry
