He may very well like being the way he is, I'm not disputing that, nor am I telling him to be any other way. but to go from one thing, to pretty much the polar opposite in such a short span of time, makes the "current" Bieber come across very disingenuous. It reeks of a kid, trying to break out of a certain mold and fit in with a different crowd ... a crowd that is mostly comprised of black hip hop artists ... that he just doesn't quite fit into. And no, it has nothing to do with the colour of his skin, and everything to do with his personality and the way he projects himself. The style of clothing, the tattoos, the affected voice he puts on ... it doesn't go with the rest of the aesthetic
If I developed a sudden interest in Mariachi music, fair enough, but if I started wearing sombreros and growing out a nice little dirty tash, being the vanilla kid from Norwich ... I'd expect people to have some questions, and perhaps think the sudden change in dress and personality is a little laughable. That's the way I feel when I look at Bieber.
And at the end of the day, you seem to be taking what was a very simple joke a little bit to heart, and Justin Biever really isn't worth arguing over. Can we at least agree on that much?
