Plenty of students and teachers listen to music daily. Many have strong opinions about who their favorite artist or band is—and just as strong opinions about why everyone else’s taste is wrong. Here’s what they have to say.
Jesus Oseguara
“My music hot take is The Weeknd’s ‘Save Your Tears.’ It’s nice music, and good vibes,” senior Jesus Oseguara said.
Lauren Lesyna
“Florence and the Machine, I think, is very underrated,” AVID and Biology teacher Lauren Lesyna said.
Francis Veamatahau
“Taylor Swift is overrated,” junior Francis Veamatahau said.
Sydney Cox
“The entire BRAT album is very bad,” sophomore Sydney Cox said.
Amir Bonner
“It’s good, but [Taylor Swift] is getting overhyped. It’s not that good,” senior Amir Bonner said.
Alma Dunlap-Worthey
“Sabrina Carpenter is overrated,” junior Alma Dunlap-Worthey said.
Felix Krantz
“People like Taylor Swift because she’s a good singer, not because she’s a good lyricist,” junior Felix Krantz said.
Joshua Carriel
“Everybody knows Michael Jackson, but his brother, Jermaine Jackson, I feel like he’s underrated a lot of the time,” senior Joshua Carriel said.
Nikolett Pataki
“Benson Boone is actually a good artist. He has the potential, he’s just not in the right genre,” freshman Nikolett Pataki said.
Navid Riahi
“The best song, called ‘Creep,’ is by Stone Temple Pilots and not [by] Radiohead,” junior Navid Riahi said.
Ajla Ribic
“The music industry is very sexually and romantically centered. It’s also centered on drugs,” junior Ajla Ribic said.
