    You can debate the merits of the show but to give one of the most watched shows in history a “popular” just makes you look like a goof.

            i’m pointing out that the “it’s popular = it must be good” argument is obviously ridiculous

            No one made that argument, though. The person you replied to literally said you can debate the merits of the show.

            Well to be clear, Kanye’s recent music material output aside and awful public behaviour - his musical content is absolutely highly acclaimed historically by listeners and critics.

                I don’t really like hip hop (generally), I was just noting the reputation if we’re observing general reputation. Whereas in music terms, something like Imagine Dragons (for example) simply doesn’t have that critical reputation.

                    It’s also considered a very good adaptation, great writing, great acting etc (until end of S04, or end of S06 depending who you ask) in its own right. There’s a reason it did attain popularity in the first place.

        What logical argument did I make that invoked the show’s popularity?

        I pointed out the fact that the show is/was popular.

        Thats a bad comparison. Kayne’s music is very well respected.

            I dont think I need to show evidence to support my statement, its common knowledge and I wouldnt expect anyone to try and dispute that Kayne’s music isnt considered good or respected.

            the entire point of this whole thread is “popular” does NOT automatically equal “good”

            Who on Earth has made that arhument?
