That last sentence makes no sense whatsoever. Why would Justin Bieber make me insecure about the music I love ? I don't know anything about him, have heard NONE of his music and he does not register on my social radar whatsoever. Maybe not you, but to the thousands of Rock and Metal lovers who can't seem to help but leave comments like "THE DISLIKE BAR IS JUSTEN BEEBER'Z PENIS!!!!1" "Justin Biebers a awful musician! THUMS UP FOR REAL MUSIC!!!" and "THIS MUSIC IS MUCH BETTER THAN JUSTIN BIEBER! SOCIETY MAKES ME SICK! LEMMY FOR PRES!" It's pretty obvious that Bieber makes them insecure in some way - and it's enough to hinder their music listening experience. It's not insecurity, it's just trolling. Rock/Metal is dead in the mainstream, and fans of those genres love to be anti-mainstream. No psychoanalysis needed. That said, Bieber has earned at least some of the hate he gets. He's had some really douche moments.

Pretty much this, I would say it's also disgust being shown through trolling to an extent. I personally think it's disgusting that the music charts are filled with talent-less tripe a lot of the time and I think that the hit singles should be awarded to their sound crew and technicians. I however think the whole Justin Bieber thing is trolling the easiest target because his fans are the ones who go off the rails and cut themselves over him.

And don't forget his girlfriend, who is a great role model for young girls teaching them that it's perfectly ok to stay with a violent maniac. I don't wanna go around blaming abuse victims for being victims, but when it involves the famous case of an independently wealthy celebrity who has clearly demonstrated she has the willpower and ability to leave the situation if she wants to she gradually starts to look less like a victim and more like an enabler and a bad role model. That is the issue for me. She was out of the relationship and had plenty of time and money to get any help needed. Plus she had plenty of resources to keep Chris away from her if that was an issue. It is not blaming the victim to recognize that you can't just say "must have Stockhom/Battered Person Syndrome" and absolve her of any responsibility for her own actions. Reality is that she is a victim AND a person that made a crappy life choice. The two things aren't mutually exclusive. Gotta be honest though, the way she defends Chris in interviews and all that kinda does suggest something mentally. I'm not at all a psychiatrist, but it's not as if that's an uncommon thing for abuse victims.
