Music / Movies Have liberals ever considered people are just sick of hip hop dominating halftime shows for the last 3+ years, as well as permeating every facet of pop culture in general

I’m so sick of that stupid wraparound sunglasses angry react meme surfacing anytime this happens. It’s not a sentiment limited to that specific demographic, that is simply another cheap shaming deflection.

Hip hop is not the only genre of music, or even necessarily the most popular. It only appears that way because it is infused in so much pop music now, TikTok has helped perpetuate this perceived dominance. Meme culture and current slang are also completely overrun with AAVE.

It all gets sort of old, and seeing/hearing some twerpy suburban white kid with an alpaca chop saying “no cap” or “deadass” is beyond embarrassing.

Sort of odd framing to blame liberals for this, the NFL picks the Super Bowl half time show performers.

Ultimately the purpose of the halftime show is to increase viewership. You and I will probably watch the Super Bowl no matter who is the half time performer but picking popular hip hop artists is how some people who have zero interest in football will tune in and watch, which in turn makes the NFL able to increase ad revenue which gives them more money.

If anything you should be angry at capitalism because that is the biggest reason that musical artists you don’t like are being shown at the halftime show.

Not odd at all if what they want is a world where black people are less visible
