Is it possible to listen to artists who are terrible people without feeling guilty? (lemmy.world)

Specifically Marilyn Manson and Kanye West. Am I overthinking this?

It depends, mostly on yourself and how you feel about it. Most artists have shown some form of shitty behaviour - Dave Grohl cheated on his wife for example. Is that enough to stop listening to his music? Probably not. Kanye West released a song called "Heil Hitler"...is that enough? Probably, but does that also count for his older songs? You decide. No one else can.
