Except men have been mostly dominating every chart the last two years  so girly but no girls

I have 8 WPs . I say no more.

Wow, poor angry males. No place for them to rage except for hip hop which is currently dominanting the music industry

Wtf has he been listening to the past year? 

[AnnTakamaki 6,839]

if that's so then what wrong about being girly ?

Genders are equal. Why would any association with any of them add a negative (or positive) connotation to anything?

Did y’all read the article at all?

i get the statement can be seen as problematic but it’s not how he means it

he means that success in music is determined by a trend, and he compares it to a teenage crush that you will forget about the year after

and the ‘girly’ part yes is not exactly the right thing to say or the right way to say it, but please don’t say he’s an “angry white misogynistic male”

Bono cited streaming as a factor in the supposed feminisation of music. “Right now, streaming is on the ad-based model,” he told Rolling Stone. “And that is very, very young, and it’s very, very pop. It’s dominated by frequency of plays, but that is not actually a measure of the weight of an artist ... If you are a teenager and you are listening to whatever the pop act is, you’re probably listening to them 100 times a day. It’s a teenage crush, but in a year’s time you won’t care about that."

Ok sis but this applies to hip-hop/rap not pop

"Feminisation of music"

Pop girls have been struggling since 2015

MTE. Why is he using it as a derogatory term? Women have been expressing rage (as well as a plethora of other emotions) by utilizing not only guitars, but many other instruments, in my diverse ways, over the expanse of countless genres, for decades.

To think anyone's here in 2018 trying to listen to angsty male "rage" is delusion at it's finest.
