Oh my goodness, look, I consider my self a fairly liberal person but you're taking it to the next level.
OK, so are you saying that men should be forced to "idolize" singers who love singing about breakups, getting drunk, and all the other bullshit that singers like Taylor Swift love? Or else we are sexist? Calm down.
No, I don't "idolize" any female singers. Is that because they are female? Hell nah. I just like the alternate rock scene, and there are simply much more male singers in that genre than there are female.
Guys just tend to like genres like rock. Girls tend to like genres like pop. Is it bad either way? No. If I said it was, then I would be sexist. There are people that don't adhere to those standards, and that's fine. Everyone is an individual and has their own beliefs and what they relate to. Telling someone they are sexist because of their choise in music is selfish beyond belief.

That comment proved you don't even know her music. Her songs are not all about break ups. No it doesn't make you sexist, but to say "HEY I CAN ONLY LIKE MALE ARTISTS BECAUSE THEY DON'T DISCUSS THINGS FEMALES DO" is a bit sexist. I'm a male who can relate to the power behind Taylor's lyrics.
Why not Paramore. Hayley Williams.. She commands that genre.
Guys tend to like rock? Says who? That's a false statistic and a stereotype, plus, rock is a dying genre.

Says who? Says the popularity of bands like Imagine Dragons, Linkin Park, and Green Day. Also, males tend to like hip-hop, while females don't. Males tend to like playing Battlefield or Call of Duty, females don't. Notice I said "tend to", not "only". It's just the way things are, mmkay? There are exceptions, but the majority of the demographics is male.
And where did I say "HEY I CAN ONLY LIKE MALE ARTISTS BECAUSE THEY DON'T DISCUSS THINGS FEMALES DO"? I mean, if I can relate to a song then I'll like it. Of course. I don't relate to most of the songs Taylor Swift sings, so I don't like her. I can relate to the songs Cryoshell sings, so I like them (btw, Cryoshell is an alternate rock band with a female lead).
And why not Paramore? Well, they are one band in a an ocean of bands.
