Happy Birthday Bono: 10 artists who don't care if you hate them
Your criticism is like water off a duck's back
U2: Why do people hate U2 so much? Answer: Bono. Yes, many despise the sunglasses-loving frontman for his relentless philanthropy. It's been much discussed and taken the piss out of, so let's put it aside and focus on why people should really dislike U2 - the fact that everything they've put out in recent memory all sounds exactly the same. Regardless, they're still going, and are reportedly releasing their thirteenth album this year.

Today (10 May) is Bono's birthday, so we'll try and put this as gently as we can... People hate Bono. If you google "Why is Bono...", the autofill suggestions are as follows: "such a prick", "so annoying", "called Bono" (a brief respite), and "such a douche."
But why? Well, there's many possibilities. He wears sunglasses indoors, his band have a questionable history of tax dodging, he flies his hat first class to gigs, and he goes by the name Bono. The thing is, Bono has some good things going for him too. U2 are a very talented and greatly popular band, he's done a lot of work for good causes (however questionable his motives), and he really, really couldn't care less whether you hate his guts or not.
In celebration of Bono's admirable stoicism in the face of derision, here's a list of ten bands who don't care if you hate them. We applaud you all.
