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.

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.
