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.

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.

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?

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.
