songs i think zoomers would hate if they came out today:
mmmbop (weak lyrics)
teenage dirtbag (minimizing gun violence)
pumped up kicks (making light of a serious situation)
toxic (romanizing toxic relationships)
sexyback (white man calls himself slave)
i’m a slave for you (white woman calls herself a slave)
(wait they used to date if they’re both the slave then like. what were they doing)
fergalicious, bootylicious, hips don’t lie (not lyrically complex enough, “confuse them for mountains” line)
love in this club (public indecency, acephobia)
sk8er boi (not a girls’ girl)
girlfriend (same as above)
poker face (the theory that she’s saying “fuck her face,” sexual violence against women, promoting extreme acts)
i write sins not tragedies (“whore”)
the call (pro-cheating on women)
before he cheats (blames the woman, calls her a tramp)
all of katy perry’s debut album (pms like a bitch, ur so gay)
the pussycat dolls (queerbaiting— why is a cisgender group called that? it’s the perfect name for a group of trans women/drag queens)
fergie (appropriation)
stars are blind (ableism)
paper planes (romanizing drugs)
shut up and let me go (romanticizing/minimizing possible abuse)
that’s not my name (weak lyrics— bird?)
lollipop (homophobia)
99 problems (use of the b word)
country grammar (nonsensical lyrics)
ms jackson (made women cry)
no diggity (nonsense lyrics)
summer girls (awful lyricism)
stacy’s mom (problematic age gap)
genie in a bottle (entrapment)
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half time show was 10x more entertaining than the game itself. Don’t let people make you feel weird for supporting and loving ALL of the cultures that the world has to offer. To me that is what America is all about.
