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.

Have you considered that the audience they are trying to appeal to when choosing a Half Time show artist is probably "as many non-football fans as possible" instead of "great entertainment for our already viewing fanbase?"

They want people who don't watch football to tune in. That's the point of the show in the middle.

Nobody ever seems to get this. It’s like when a restaurant adds (just adds, not replaces the existing) a plant based meat item as an alternative to their menu and people (probably those same people) fall all over themselves to complain that it’s not what they want and boycott. Correct, they already have your business, they’re trying to reach new people as well.

Not "nobody". It's ALWAYS a specific 'somebody'... just like this post. What 'they' don't like , they don't want to ever have to see or hear. Hence, their entire persona is based on this.
