I dunno, man, I just see it as not worth knowing. My students are great, but the music they listen to is shit. The main movies they talk about are the Purge series, and those movies blow. Social media turns people into fucking morons (disclaimer: I use Facebook as a picture archive because I'm too much of a luddite to figure out how a thumb drive works). I'm a smart guy, and I love learning new things, but pop culture today is really, really terrible. I do like Ed Sheeran though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my coworkers joke that I'm a younger version of Principal Vernon from The Breakfast Club. Which happens to be on TV right now, and uh, yeah, I definitely see it. I'm with you. I get mine from the grad students I teach. I'm the "things aren't as funny as they used to be" old professor. Their usual response to my humor is "that kind of stuff really doesn't play now, it offensive to some." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really get the confidence after the reports from the big names. That’s cool if you still think he’s going there but to be so damn sure of it?

Offensive is a noun to describe a massive military attack. Nothing else. Unfortunately, I see where you're coming from. When I was in grad school a few years ago, our professor used the scene from Forrest Gump where his mother bangs the principal to get Forrest enrolled in his school to make some greater point. I thought it was hilarious. My classmates, on the other hand, were shocked, and not in a good way. Maybe it makes me obnoxious, but I'm really not offended by much. I know who Pete Davidson is because he got all that shit for making that joke about Navy SEAL Congressman Dan Crenshaw looking like a hitman in a porno because of his eye patch. People were suuuuuuuper offended. I'm a Soldier and an Afghan vet, but I thought it was funny. My favorite jokes are the ones that make fun of people like me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Well this thread has grown by about 12 or so pages since I last looked, can anyone fill me in with a brief summary of today? are we in or out today? Judging by the Moustakas thread are things looking down? Edited January 9, 2019 by beckham15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumble-rap ain't great (some is pretty good like Migos) but look below the surface. Golden age? Golden age was Led Zeppelin. Journey. Jimi Hendrix. Rolling Stones. Whitesnake. I realize I'm jumping around about three decades here, but that was the golden age. Legitimately, what defines this golden age?

chitownsportsfan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Just now, Chicago White Sox said: Mumble rap sucks...all of it. there's a lot of great production and beat making. Obviously the lyrics and flow on top of it are often pretty bad. But Playboi Carti is fire you can't convince me otherwise. I'm a hip hop head and there's more out there than just mumble rap if that's not your thing. Just got dig a bit or listen to curated stuff. KEXP's street sounds is a good start you can listen online.

The Sir Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 What the hell is mumble rap? Is that an actual genre, and not just a pejorative term for all rap from people who don't like rap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
