Same could be said of literally almost any web forum. Sad but true, people are victims of the US educational system, which for over 60 years has been geared toward dumbing down children into obedient, slavish little worker robots—on the "backs" of whose labor the elites can eventually stand and pontificate for more money for themselves.
It's society in general, the music that the industry pushes, the cartoons on TV Get more mindless and crappy,
Silly to blame music and cartoons for something entirely unrelated to them.
We allowed a term ("grammar nazi") to run wild as a perpetual defense to any form of correction on language, while defending people when they behaved this way.
That culture of never being wrong is not from muh cartoons or music (mostly) but from the sentiment that everyone is special, everyone gets an award, everyone is a winner even if they lost.
People never learned what it meant to be wrong nor taught the drive to humble and correct themselves. They are told that they simply can't be wrong as long as they adhere to what they are told to.
It's not silly to blame music and cartoons as part of the problem. Children mimic what they look up to, even through their teens. The dumbing down of language in the mainstream music culture, particularly in rap music has a major effect on how the young communicate and it's absurd not to recognize it.
What you say applies too, but as someone who until recently has taught English to different age groups over the years and have been around middle schoolers and high schoolers every single day for hours on end, I know for a fact that the cartoons and music they spend their time on helps shape their speech, writing, sense of humor, etc.
If we are talking rap, there are many greats but that's not what's being pushed by the industry. Hell even in the 90s Tupac was a fucking poet compared to the dredge out there.
Hell you have artists like Dax who are great lyricists to the point where you can hear a song multiple times and keep catching new word play.

And that's just for word play and lyricism, but he has many songs with awesome stories and messages.
