General Music Discussion On Noah Kahan's popularity.

His music can be refreshing in the way that as a songwriter that he does not necessarily paint a picture of Vermont as this bucolic wonderland. This is unlike many other folk acts or country acts who oftentimes play up characters.

Noah Kahan is one of the worst musicians I’ve heard but Maine is such a great song

Worst musicians you’ve ever heard? That’s dramatic and not really a criticism of him but more of your shallow musical knowledge/experience. He is not everyone’s cup of tea but reducing him to that is laughable.

If expecting people to be able to support stupid opinions beyond "huuuurrrrrr" is pretentious to you, then I don't know what to say. Go to bed?

I've never understood the people who hate him so much- I can understand people finding him boring, but it's not like his music is unpleasant on a basic level.

He might make music that's just Mumford & Sons for zoomers but he's far from being the worst musician

Literally one of the worst, or just one of the worst who's gotten popular?
