A couple years ago, I heard of a meeting that took place 80s or early 90s about gangsta rap as a new style of music that was going to be invented. That those who did it would be promoted and supported. Most musicians at the meeting went along with it, but at least 1 did not. Can’t remember the specifics as I don’t listen to rap at all. Maybe the organizers were influential producers or heads of labels or bankers.
Yes, and once the kids finally have all the trending clothes they switch the fashion trend again so they are now "out of style" and have to buy a whole new wardrobe. In the 1990s and 2000s the trend was big and baggy as possible; now it's the complete opposite, skinny jeans and tight XS shirts.

Here it is. This same copypasta has been passed around for at least 12 years (I swear I remember reading this before 2012).

Thanks, fren
"Fashion trends" are decided the same way.

Ice Cube talked about this in an interview somewhat recently seemingly corroborating this.
There was a video posted here on GA a few years ago as well.
