I think that's a bit reductive. I know nothing about the gender identities of Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus. What I do know is that I'm an Old and their 'music' sounds like overproduced pop crap to me. I don't dislike them because it's trendy or because of homophobia, I just dislike them because I find them obnoxious.
Obviously I don't know them personally; obviously I'm talking about their public personas. I remember they each pulled a bunch of attention-seeking antics, and coupled with the shitty music it all just seemed very manufactured to gain fans, which yes, I found obnoxious. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
You don't need to know them. Just be a little more situational aware. People meme-hate on the Internet for fun.
I think I can explain Nickelback: They have a very distinctive sound, and they made like eight extremely similar sounding songs, all of which got significant radio play, that it was pretty easy to get sick of Nickelback.
"Hating furries" was basically a default personality substitute for the first few decades of common internet use, too.
