Anyone else sick of hearing Ed Sheeran everywhere they go?

Question

He is completely unescapable, tv, car radios, supermarkets, subway stations, city centres, buskers, game of thrones, every single day of every week of every month, year after year after fucking year of Ed Sheeran and his fucking guitar, his face is plastered on almost every billboard of every block of every city, people praise him like he's the best thing since anything ever, "I love his music so much! Ed is such a lovely guy! He's such a sweet soft little teddy bear!"

How many more years of this bullshit do we have to be subjected to before people get tired of it? Please god have mercy, enough already!!!

Meh, I have heard the name a few times and saw him in that pointless cameo in GoT, but I couldn't point out a single song or music video if his. I have never heard him sing and have not had him shoved in my face as the original question implies... But I do get what you're saying. There will always be someone or something hyped up and played to death until the next fad comes along.

So even if he dropped off the face of the earth tomorrow, there will just be something else to take his place. Same sh*t, different smell.

Ok this is a true story: one day I was driving and changing through radio stations because every channel happened to be playing an ed Sheeran song.

So I finally got to one which was playing commercials. So after the commercials they come back and it's just the radio DJ's talking and then they announce a very specs guest: Ed Sheeran

I like his music, but I rarely listen to it. Just the occasional song on my Spotify playlist. I don't listen to the radio, I don't watch TV and the supermarket I go to doesn't even play music. Also could be, because I live in a place where everything comes fives years later, so maybe the mania is just ahead.

Unfortunately the music industry does this overkill thing with everyone who gets hot. It’ll fade and you’ll have a chance to get sick of the next overexposed hot artist. Give it a minute.

I don't think I've ever heard a single song by that guy, only ever heard or read his name in passing. So I'm rather emotionless towards him, lol.

I fucking hate ed sheeran. Always have, always will. His songs are are the same, guitar solo, him singing about some girl.. fuck off already.

I wish people had some personality instead of conveniently liking everything in the mainstream and sought out alternative artists. Everything is so commercialized in the mainstream that it literally loses its soul and humanity in my opinion.

On the flip side, there is plenty of pop sounding music that is very likable and has no reason not to be on the radio, selling millions of records, but because it isn't "fun" and "commercial" according to some idiots somewhere, or it's too far outside of the same 4-chord, 125 bpm, verse chorus verse chorus, pop formula with basic beats and lyrics, it's not "good enough" or something.

Lame... there is so much unrecognized talent out there and bands and artists that should be selling out arenas across the globe and instead it is some generic pop star that does absolutely nothing new. Sorry but I get heated about music okay? xD

I like this song. I'd be okay if they played THIS song more. But you're right, the rest of his music is way overplayed.

Soteris · Answer

Ahahahaha! Never have I been so happy that I dont live in a major city or a media infused society like USA. I have not seen or heard of Ed Sheeran in months.

umngopher1991 · Answer

Yup. His songs are way overplayed, especially Shape of You (most streamed song of 2017, dear god) and Thinking Out Loud.

Solution? Turn off the radio, listen to your own music in your home, car, and headphones.

Trollfather · Answer

Yes. Stop watching TV you are being mind controlled.

PhillipDead · Answer

Repetition in the radio is a very annoying problem. There's really no variety at all

ChandelierBoing · Answer

True. Ed has gone very mainstream. But you can't blame him for that. These normies know nothing.

AlwaysBelieving · Answer

I'm fine with it. Then again, I don't listen to radio or go out much so I probably don't have the exposure that you do.

Vidomina89 · Answer

Ed is good :) he is on his peak like Adele was 1 year ago. After the current hits go out of scope he will decrease in over-broadcasting his songs.
