Was home last weekend and asked my 12 year old niece what kind of music the kids listened to these days because I'm old and out of touch. She said Cardi B. I had heard of her but never heard a song. Just youtubed it....HOLY FUCKING SHIT 12 year olds nationwide apparently listen to this shit.
i know i am old. when i was 12, if it wasn't on the radio, i didn't hear it. the web/internet and omnipresent screen time accessibility for most kids is radically changing mores and values in our culture. nuff socially commentary, i didn't really like it as music, much less content.
That sounds like what a middle aged white mom would consider rap, when they're doing one of those "mom rap" videos. In other words, wtf was that shit I just listened to?
It isn't a waste of time for anyone with young children though. They need to know what evil kids are up to these days. My sister in law is a teacher in the Washington. She says we have no idea what they're up to.
Thats why i said you wasted my time not anyones. Nah i get ya. But its a microcosm of sooo many things that have been dumbed down/ less than before. Acting is in the same situation because of special effects. Movies generally suck more these days. Just fluff for tue moment, but nothing of substance. Just like todays music. Not just rap. Ill take zepplin Ramble On over almost anything todays word puts out there. And for rap? It was never better than when nwa split and ice cube and eazy e were going back and forth while dre and snoop was changing the world with the chronic. Soon after that rap began to decline and now you see what we have. No hooks no lyrical wit. No smooth flow. No melodies or harmonies. It just sucks.
There is some good music still coming out these days. But, what these kids listen too these days, its hard to consider it music. They don't make music like they used too.
