Why I Like Kid Cudi

I've become an avid fan of Kid Cudi for the past month or so, I think he's an original artist with a great sound. One phenomenon I've come across though is a large amount of people I've talked to who simply hate him. I don't fully understand why people hate him, but I definitely have a few reasons as to why you shouldn't.

Reason number one, he is a new genre. He didn't create it, but he definitely set the standard. He's basically a hybrid of psychedelic and hip hop. I'd compare it with Pet Sounds and Animal Collective, simply because of its originality. Kid Cudi isn't crazy like Brian Wilson, but he does blaze trails like him.
Reason number two, I really like his lyrics. They showcase the inner thoughts of an intelligent and successful musician. Its also interesting to hear what hip hop has to say on the world of psychedelics and exploring the mind. I also enjoy the fact that his upbringing shows up in his lyrics. He grew up losing his dad at a young age, and it obviously had a large impact on him. I also feel like you can hear the "zeitgeist" of America right now when you're listening to his lyrics.
Reason number three, I like how it sounds. It's just really catchy, and personally my favorite song is "Pursuit of Happiness".

I really like the attitude of this song. The imagery not so much, but he makes up for that in my final reason for liking Kid Cudi.
The artwork is great. I like the original but modern style.

Either way, get a copy of his album Man on the Moon and find out for yourself.
