There is no "us vs them" when it comes to creativity.
Other artists aren't your competitors. They should only inspire you to be better.
The audience has the capacity to love you both.
Pearl Jam vs Nirvana. Beatles vs Beach Boys. Katy vs Taylor.
These are pointless fights.
There's no reason to pick a side. You may like one more than the other, but that's no reason to hate on those who prefer the opposite.
Give them another listen. You might discover something new.
