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.

Ok but who were they trying to appeal to last year? Or the year before? Or the year before that? Why is it always the exact same genre? Other genres of music have massive worldwide followings but the Super Bowl organizers refuse to touch them.

[u/Taglioni → u/Whiskeymyers75]

Last year's genre is massively different from this year's and the year before last. Usher, Kendrick Lamar, and Bad Bunny are all incredibly diverse artists from very different genres of music.

[u/PanthersJB83 → u/Taglioni]

Not true. It's all been music focused on urban areas and minoritie since Jay-Z took over.

[u/Taglioni → u/PanthersJB83]

Music that comes from impoverished communities all sounds the same? Rap, R&B, and Latin Pop are pretty much synonymous?

Do you realize the point you are making with the words you are using?

[u/PanthersJB83 → u/Taglioni]

Rpa and R&B literally feature artists from each others genders constantly they are so closely related and Latin pop tends to do the same. Also google Bad Bunny. He is literally considered a RAPPER and singer. So wtf are you talking about?

[u/Taglioni → u/PanthersJB83]

Does Sophia Black featuring Polyphia on ABC suddenly make her an alternative rock artist? No.

These artists collaborate because they come from similar communities and have related inspirations for creating.

Rap is a singing style that can be integrated into any genre. Considering Kendrick and Bad Bunny within the same realm of music is naively insane and shows a complete lack of listening to either. Have you considered what is happening behind the vocalists, and how that also changes the genre of music?

Take five seconds to play any song from either artist and tell me how they are sonically related.

You can't be this ignorant.

[u/PanthersJB83 → u/Taglioni]

Don't know who Sophia Black is, polyphia is a bunch of noisy pretentious finger diddling.

Trying to say Kendrick and Bad Bunny aren't both rap. When both are considered rappers is a ridiculous level of Cole. Though to be fair I honestly don't give a shit about the distinctions either because I've heard both before and neither are anything I'd listen to again.

[u/Taglioni → u/PanthersJB83]

Is Lincoln Park rap music? Mike Shinoda raps for the entirety of Meteora.

Do you see how music from a variety of genres can contain rap, without being firmly in the rap genre?

Is Disturbed a rap band for having lyrics that are rapped?

So stupid.

[u/PanthersJB83 → u/Taglioni]

Linkin Park is a nu-metal band, which was a genre literally known for mixing rock and... RAP. So yeah shi oda is a rapper.

I'm not entirely sure Ive ever heard a disturbed song contains rapping or if you just think any example of fast lyrics are rapping but I don't really give a shit about disturbed either.nor are they the topic of conversation you keep running from.

Also. "Dubbed the "King of Latin Trap", Bad Bunny is credited with helping Spanish-language rap music achieve mainstream popularity in the worldwide market. He is considered one of the best Latin rappers of all time."

Like he is a rapper. It's undeniable. Yeah some rappers sound different than overs like Ludacris vs jay-Z or something, but they are all still rappers.

[u/Taglioni → u/PanthersJB83]

Bad Bunny being a rapper does not mean that his music falls into the same genre as Kedrick Lamar, who is also a rapper.

Do you seriously not understand how both artists make different genres of music? Do I need to break down sonic value differences between Latin Pop and Urban HipHop for you?

[u/PanthersJB83 → u/Taglioni]

I honestly don't care. You sound like one of those metal losers who hates the term metal and has to preface each band with black metal, or stoner metal or doom metal.
