I know it's hard not to take it personally, but I've encountered very few people with musical tastes similar to mine, and even fewer vidders, so it sort of goes with the territory, unfortunately.
I will never be a fan of Britney, Mariah, anyone from American Idol, rap, hip hop, death metal, boybands (okay, I was when I was little, but not anymore), corporate pop (those who got recording contracts based on their marketable looks), and lots of other artists and genres. To my ears, most of that stuff is like nails on a chalkboard. And honestly, it's not a reflection on anyone who likes or has ever made a vid to that music, and it also doesn't mean I won't watch those vids, because I've watched and loved many. It's just the way I'm wired. I can't help it. I also know lots of people would take one look at my CD collection and toss it into the nearest trash bin. And that's fine. They don't have to like my music. I like it, and ultimately, that has to be enough.
I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, here. *g* Just keep doing what you're doing, and try not to let the criticism bother you.
