Why Iz Deh Peoplez Hatin' On Weird Al?
How come a lot of teenagers and stuff be hating on Weird Al Yankovic? Some of his songs were immature, but they were mostly really funny. My favorite was 'The Night Santa Went Crazy'.
Do you leik Weird Al? What's your favorite song (by him)?
I'm basically honorary nasty. N-n-n-n-nasty jazz

Actually, it's because he doesn't really ever write any music.

But there are some original songs by Weird Al.
I'm not a hater. That's just what people have told me.

That's like writing a 1-star review of an album without listening to it, and then defending it by saying "That's what pepole told me about it".
He has tons of songs where both the lyrics and music are written by him. Often it's meant to parody an artist's style, but he still writes all the music and lyrics.
Examples:
Dare to be Stupid
I'll Sue Ya
Virus Alert
Hardware Store
Nature Trail to Hell
You Make Me
Melanie
One More Minute
Albuquerque
Germs
Callin' In Sick
Your Horospoce for Today
Bob
Pancreas
Don't Download this Song
UHF
Trigger Happy
Dog Eat Dog
CNR
If That Isn't Love
Ringtone
Stop Forwarding that C**p to Me
Skipper Dan
You Don't Love Me Anymore
The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota
Frank's 2000" TV
There are probably more, but that's just what I can name.
As you guessed, I'm a huge Weird Al fan. It's funny that AnimeCreatorArtist mentioned teenagers, because in a Weird Al interview, he said that he's heard stories about kids loving Weird Al when they were 12, and then later getting too cool for him in their teens, and as adults claiming that they have always loved him.

Re: Why Iz Deh Peoplez Hatin' On Weird Al?
I don't like him because he ripped off Tom Lehrer. Anyone that rips off that genius is not okay by me. Yet sometimes I do listen to Weird Al (ah, guilty pleasure).
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
