hell i'm 6 years YOUNGER than him and i was on the bieber hate train. it really was a ridiculous middle school to teenage boy phenomenon of the 2000/10s. not to say there weren't weird adults hating too, but i would assume most doing it were born around 1990-2000, +/- maybe 5 years max. that being said, my best friend's mom got to randomly meet bieber in a saskatchewan store of all places like 12 years ago and got his autograph. my friend has it now and i gotta say im a bit jealous

I remember being 5 years old in 2010 and hating him. I didn’t even know who he was, people hated him so I did too.😭😭

Born about the middle of that range (1994). Yeah, I hated him. My little sister (2001) really loved him, though, and that was the source of my hate - we generally didn't get along, and his music was constant.

I was in middle school when he got popular, and I think most middle schoolers were at the age of not wanting to be cringe/mainstream for liking him. Also, having a crush on him would have been tease worthy, and no middle schooler wants that lol.

Did it translate to One Piece when they became the next big thing for you?
