[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4803174, member: 66082"] I know, but hip hop right now is youth culture. Almost all American children/teen listen to hip hop music. It's commercially dominate. But back in the late 1980's, hip hop music was the underdog, the music industry hated it, radio hated it, tv hated it, advertisers hated it, my parents both disliked rap music, teachers I liked hated hip hop music, plus in the wider American culture it was heavily criticized, And yet the idea of whining as a fan of hip hop music and forming an identity around that criticism as an attack against our values never crossed our minds. It was like ok they don't like, but we do like it. But republicans are running this sham that if what they like is criticized, that's someone attacking their values or silencing them. republicans really are pretending that they can't have an opinion or can't like dr seuss books because some other people criticize their opinions or dr seuss books. Smh. It's bizarre phony culture war bs. [/QUOTE]
