It's not that they were huge fans before any of this. It's that it gets under the skin of the average conservative on the worst way.

It's decidedly foreign because it's not like what any of us are regularly exposed to. It's not the music you hear at Mexican restaurants or playing loudly when you drive by a construction site or park. Not is it something like Kpop where can tell it organically has an appeal to young people across the world. It's foreign and you have zero exposure to it but you're told by the media it's bigger than anything. Bigger than Kpop Demon Hunters and Taylor Swift even. And I am no defender of Swift or Kpop Demon Hunters but...it strikes that chord of "you will believe what we tell you to believe"

It's rap adjacent. And I realize a lot of us like rap. Yet even though rap has been around for 40 years at this point, there are still a lot of conservatives who are deeply disgusted by the genre and believe anything electronic or "not singing" isn't music. So the idea of something that isn't music being that successful as music is infuriating. And they love this reaction even though the average liberal Spotify playlist didn't have a single Bad Bunny song on it before this week.

I was well aware of Bad Bunny before this mess. Bad Bunny was featured heavily In WWE two years ago. He performed a "song" and he even took part in a Wrestle Mania wrestling match. The mostly liberal internet wrestling community circlejerked him about how he's such a great wrestler and he's such a big deal he's more important than anyone in the world. "The most streamed artist worldwide"

When the Super Bowl performance was announced I was kind of tickled to be honest. I love anyone getting under the skin of the kind of crowd that thinks the half time show should be nothing but has beens or butt rock. The idea of these grown men getting salty because it wasn't Metallica or Shinedown or Garth Brooks is amusing to me.

Fast forward to today though, and somehow, I'm angry too. Why? Because I can't fathom people watching this garbage and being moved by it. I always do my best to analyze things objectively. In the end my real issue is that the messages being sent are incredibly nihilistic. Music about promiscuity and hypergamy being used to drive a political point about demographic replacement and culture erosion? That's scary stuff.

it's insidious and I want no part of it. Bad Bunny being the top streaming artist world wide is just proof of the intellectual famine across the world. The fact that even Asia can't skew those results shows you how rigged that entire music industry is and how it really is an arm of the cabal

I comfort myself that when the liberal hipsters and blue hairs add some Bad Bunny songs to their playlists, when they shuffle and the algorithm just keeps pushing them music that sounds exactly the same they're going to be so pissed. Their precious curation gone!
