I don't see any upside in trying to tell people that some music they love is crap.

It's different for other media, like an article about how a book or TV show or movie is historically inaccurate is sometimes fun.

Why is it different for music, to the situation with movies, say? Music can have a narrative that is counter factual too.

Can you name a song with lyrics that you'd consider to be misinformation rather than poetry or fiction? Seems like it would be pretty rare.

I guess it's just the wrongheaded logic of criticism: The critic must prove they are doing their job. They are "critics", right? Therefore they must criticize. :-)
