Psychoanalytic explanation: Justin Bieber is hated because every adult who has survived youth knows that the prepubescent mind is prone to fantastic delusions which his music engenders in the fragile minds of tween girls. Yet, many of us still believe in these fantasies and so project our hatred through the unconscious, whence we must ratiocinate explanations after the fact - for example saying we don't like his hair, or teeth or something.
@John, the sweet smell of self-made success despite of hardships (he was raised by a young single mother, and made a name for himself on YouTube doing indie music before he was discovered by the recording industry) is known to evoke a strong envy/hate response.
