And I liked her more by that point. I thought that album was better than the other one, really love "Younger Now" and the little Dolly Parton audio included on the track she wrote for her (I'm a much bigger fan of Dolly, own the majority of her albums). And I've actually been really looking forward to her new album because I loved "Mother's Daughter" and the EP she put out with "Unholy." It was supposed to be titled She Is Coming, but it looks like it's been delayed or cancelled now. :/ I've grown accustomed to the fact that usually when I start to like something / someone, it's like the kiss of death, and it's usually not long after that they're over. Same thing happened with Katy Perry. For the first time I actually had the urge to buy an album by her with my own money instead of waiting to get copies from other people (it was Witness and I really loved it myself, loved the mixture of Christian and feminist messages), and that's when she flopped. 
Well, that's really how the world unfortunately works. And yes, of course it's truly unfortunate for your aforementioned reasons, but people have a tendency to throw their personal bias towards what they dislike. But the truth is that this issue has always affected the different generations of Disney Channel. But it also has become an unofficial norm to do so. People who grew up with Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens consider those shows to be superior to That's So Raven, The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and Hannah Montana. But as aforementioned, it's become the general trend to worship the Lizzie McGuire-era towards the Hannah Montana-era. If you don't believe me, just look it up. Of course there are exceptions, as some people tend to like all of the generations of Disney Channel. But like I said, there is a general trend of hating on each generations.estefan wrote:I do find it fascinating that people of my age who grew up on the likes of Jett Jackson, Even Stevens and Lizzie McGuire would be snooty towards the mid-to-late 2000s Disney Channel shows and say "Disney's shows were so much better in my day." And now I see the generation that grew up with Hannah Montana, Zack & Cody, Sonny with a Chance, etc. looking back fondly on those shows and saying "Disney's shows were better in my day." It's a good lesson in not looking down at what the younger generation is watching and enjoying. Because if they're enjoying them, there's obviously something they're getting out of them.
And a lot of hate to puristsUmbrellaFish wrote:It was mostly an inoffensive series that brought joy to a lot of people.
Sorry, but that's the truth. There was a lot of hate for Hannah Montana and the other Disney Channel products from her prime. From passionate naysayers when HM was on and relevant. Acting was never Miley's biggest talent, as it was cringe-worthy and incredibly hammy. And fortunately she never improved, though her acting in HM The Movie was fine enough.I like Miley Cyrus as a celebrity figure well enough nowadays— Wrecking Ball was really good. She had comedic chops, but I don’t think she was ever as good as Raven Symone, Amanda Bynes (I am so sad for her mental health issues, she was such a brilliant young talent), or Shia LeBeouf were in their early Disney/Nickelodeon days.
True, but that happens to a lot of properties and not just Disney.Disney's Divinity wrote:Well, it's similar how so many criticize the Revival films (myself included). For the newest generation, those animated films are the first they'll see and they have nothing to compare them to, and they become the benchmark for them because they either haven't seen older films or won't for a long time.
You know what? I have the opposite experience. In my childhood I had the tendency to prefer Walt's features. It would be tempting to pin down to say "for no reason at all". But looking back at it, there was an innocent charm to his pictures that appealed to me. It wasn't until when I saw The Lion King at the age of 10 that I became officially converted to the features from the Renaissance (despite that I was obsessed with The Rescuers Down Under). But I know that I'm repeating myselfAnd then those older films have older sensibilities that are hard for them to get into. I mean, Snow White for example, was always hard for me to watch because the voices and dialogue just felt like my grandparents. That's inevitable. It's sort of like that scene in Ratatouille, when Anton Ego's memory goes back to when he was a child. You're always going to be chasing that original high, the first experience that made a mark on you.
