All I wanted to suggest, my dear hipster daughter, is to stand by the artist, even if you think they are overrated, overexposed or badly handled. Talent is rare and often comes in a soft, chick-like package that is easily crushed. Leave your harshest criticism for the nasty birds that don’t show their young how to fly, pluck their wings or throw them out of the nest too soon. And certainly don’t be the hawk that swoops down and finishes the kill.
