I mean country has the highest concentration of MAGA support be a wide amount while the biggest musicians right wing media has gone after in recent years have been Kendrick Lamar, Lil Nas X, and Cardi B….

Very valid, but the person I was responding to was complaining about me saying its a shame rock music wasn't filling the space left by rap.

I'm fine with it since rap music hasn't been that good lately. I mostly stick to old school rap or underground rappers.

No I get what you’re saying. Users expressed concern that the decline in rap may be attributed to cultural reasons like the rise of extreme right rhetoric that is rooted in racism. Their concern is founded on rap being a black dominated genre that right wing media has gone after pretty extensively. Your response was a dismissive joke about rap being misogynistic and homophobic despite the genre evolving and progressing and some of the biggest recent acts are women or queer.

That's the whole point, I found their statement to be idiotic, because not liking rap music doesn't mean the people here are racist.

R&B, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz etc. are all genres of the black community that many people, who don't like rap, listen to and love these genres, so to go with a baseless, generic statement, is just as idiotic as labeling and generalizing rap music as homophobic and misogynist.

As a non-American, the queer fascination for eliminating all non-dance/pop genres is baffling to me.

 

Why is your country is so goddamned divisive? Like why can't these genres co-exist in harmony and if not mutual appreciation, then mutual respect? Why must we celebrate their end?

Oh look the white twinks are absolutely thrilled racism is taking over the arts. So many of you are predictable racist freaks. Makes sense many of you apparently prefer Morgan Wallen over hip hop. It doesn’t matter if it’s not “your taste”. You’ve lost your mind if you don’t see how this is connected to the rise of conservatism. News flash—who do you think is next? White corporate conservative music is taking over. You think they’re gonna stop with hip hop? Lmao. Many of you could really use half a brain

Be forreal please 

Hip pop is on the decline but Rnb is rising again thankfully with black artist leading the resurgence. The charts could definitely use more flavour but there's two Rnb tracks by black artists in the top 10 organically (cant remember when last that happened) and more tracks would rank higher if not for Taylors album taking so many spots.

I dont  think everyone here is  being racist because because they are celebrating the decline of a genre where homophobia and toxic masculinity is normalised and lets not be delusional and pretend its not.

Also black artists are more than hip pop and just because they have been boxed into that genre doesnt mean their existence is limited to its dominance in music. Shaboozy literally having one of the biggest hits this decade with a country song is proof of that.

And I stand by saying that is racist, because modern rock music much like country is; is for white people and marketed toward them. Nothing released post Elvis in the rock genre has been aimed at or marketed toward non-white people. 

I mean look at the big uproar when Beyoncé just delivered one of the best country records ever produced that effortlessly cleared artists like Taylor Swift and Kasey Musgraves in one swoop. To the point they’re now dividing up the country genre at awards shows because they want white people to be the only country artists.  

You wanting to replace a black dominated genre with a gentrified and (quite frankly) awful white peoples genre is racist girl skdhdjd you can still like something but admit the flaws in it.

People should probably be a little more tactful with celebrating the decline of a black dominated genre of music and the erasure of black culture and black voices from the charts as they are replaced by a rise in white MAGA country artists.

we need to bring back the big dance/house records of the 90s like Show Me Love again, we need 90s House to dominate this time
