Seeing people clutching pearls about gangsta rap 30 years later is a treat. Like, I don't claim to be super knowledgeable about the genre, but it seems like every white person over the age of 45 or so got "RAP = HATES WOMEN" rubber stamped onto their brain circa 1995 and haven't spared a single thought about it since.

You know the outrage seekers are specifically looking for the songs that confirm their notion of "Look, it's all sexist and glorifies violence" while ignoring the majority of songs that do no such thing.

That's kind of an outdated boomer mentality because in the 50s and 60s they had to be circumspect, so now they assume that it's still like that even though now if you want to sing about sex and drugs you can just do it outright. Leads to some real dumb outcomes, like the FCC banning "Rocky Mountain High" (although I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that "Give it Away" is literally about giving things away)

I more just started that rule of thumb because it would annoy the hell out of Mrs Randalor when she would ask me what I thought a song was about on her favorite radio station.

Randalor posted:I don't normally listen to rap, but the last time I remember hearing about a rap song causing controversy was Lil Nas X's Montero (Call me by your name) and that was just because the video was too gay for Conservatives. Good song, I don't remember it glorifying any criminal activity or degrading women though. I mean it does if you think being gay should be a crime, which a lot of conservatives do. Anyway, it was a great song with a great music video, here's a convenient link if anyone wants to listen to it again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swmTBVI83k&ab_channel=LilNasXVEVO I like this one, and I'm sad the nib is shutting down. I didn't always enjoy all their comics, but a lot of them were good and it's always a bummer when a bunch of people lose their jobs.

They did their pedophilia respectfully.

I remember being young thinking that oldies bands were all, like, high schoolers and that's why they were going to go steady with the homecoming queen and celebrating being sixteen and stuff. I miss that innocent mindset.

True. Then there's really confusing ones like "Go Away Little Girl" which... the loving lyrics... But Donny Osmond was thirteen when he sang it. I think it's also just particularly hard to get away with "little girl" as a term of endearment.

It's actually quite beautiful in it's own way, just doing away with the old, family unit reproduction and inheritance based sexual morality and doing whatever felt right instead. It had some bad results though, because people are not always nice to each other, and don't always understand things the same way as their victims. But yeah, consent between equal adults is actually a super good code in my opinion (disregarding the can of worms that is children's sexuality).
