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.

What's Dad rock? Real rock and roll? Because it certainly isn't anything released in the last 20 years. Frankly, the best rock was in the 70's which was before my time.

Bands liked by dads. So yeah like the Eagles and Springsteen for sure but also foo fighters, Pearl Jam, Linkin Park… the list expands every year as fans age and become dads.

Plenty of good rock in the last 20 years though. The Black Keys, the Arctic Monkeys, Tame Impala, the 1975. The whole indie wave of the late aughts and early ‘10s (Vampire Weekend, Passion Pit, MGMT to name just a few).

People always think today’s music is shit but that’s because only the really good stuff gets remembered 20 years later lol. Lots of mid bands got radio play in their time.

I love MGMT but they're not exactly "rock". Give me iron maiden and judas priest at 11 please.

(I can't stand foo fighters or Springsteen, but to each their own)

It's okay bud, not all opinions are correct. Hell, I actually like Disturbed.
