That is part of it but I’m also seeing complaints that there should’ve been a disclaimer when the video dropped bc lil Nas x has a targeted population which is kids.

Kids are not Lil Nas Xs targeted population. His first major song was about 'lean' and having sex. Just because parents let their kids repeat the lyrics - just as parents let their kids sing the lyrics of Watermelon Sugar which is about cunnilingus - does not make it a kids song.

Never said his songs were for kids but that’s who listens. Old town road is popular bc kids loved that crap. So yeah, his main audience is kids.

And it’s the responsibility of adults to limit that.

I couldn’t listen to Police in middle school because Roxanne was a prostitute and there was apparently a chance I would work the red light district if I listened to Police.

you must not have kids because kids are bombarded with this stuff and it is impossible to just turn it off. Algorithms and cookies are. designed to pop up based on what they’ve liked in the past. So yes if everyone played the number one rap song in the country and liked Lil Nas X when he was just a fun loving pink cowboy outfit wearing kid who happens to be gay, then guess who’s new music video is popping up on YouTube? I didn’t think he would put a video out like that and have lost all respect for him and the very things I thought he represented. It’s unfortunate because he really had the opportunity to do more with his platform as the first openly gay rapper.

Yes. I have kids. My biggest worry is drinking in college and country music is always encouraging children to get wasted, drink beer, drink on a plane, drink when sad.

Shall I forbid country music?

If you want to compare that video to country music videos about drinking and smoking have at it. It is a false equivalency.

Agree. This is “culture” now not even hiding it anymore.
Very damaging to hold this up as empowerment when it is really debasement and inversion.

it is a hard battle to convince people that defiling oneself for public consumption has little to do with art or empowerment, instead it is more commonly a road to pain, dehumanization and debauchery.

DP. I feel that way about the Cardi B and MtS performance at the Grammys. Incessant boasting about the condition of your genitals while performatively scissoring is not as empowering as some people claim to believe.

+1 And of course Prince did it and years later refused to perform some of his art for his audience. There’s also Vanity, Alice Cooper and Dave Mustaine of Megadeath.

I wish these artists shared their stories more with today’s artists.

He doesn’t, actually. I can guess what particular aspect of his appearance you find objectionable, though!

+1. He's objectively good looking. If you find him ugly, you don't like him being black. That's your problem. Go pray to whatever you need to get over that.

Np. I’m black with black female friends who are dating or married to black men. None of us find him attractive or even cute. He is not “objectively good looking.” Maybe to white women this is true. He definitely doesn’t have the ugliest face. That remark is rude. But it’s hard to say someone doesn’t find him attractive just bc he’s black.

That's quite the racist observation. Oh, but I forgot, only whites can be racists.

And neither is God.

And furthermore, it seems that none of you understand what Satanism actually is.

If you’re forbidding country songs that describe getting intoxicated, I’m afraid you’ll have to forbid the song “Old Town Road” by none other than Lil Nas X.

But you can’t articulate what a person will do if they watch the video.

Will they try to have sex with satan in hell, is that your concern?

I’m worried kids drink too much and kids die every year in college drinking too much and there are studies that show country music listeners have a higher rate of alcoholism than the gen pop.

Can you articulate what will happen to society/children if they watch this video?

No it doesn’t but it does talk about cheating.

So yes. Country music lyrics are horrible for children. Are we forbidding country music too?

DP. When your kids were young children, did you expose them to pornography? Why not? Can you articulate what would happen?

[Anonymous]

I just watched it. People really find this shocking? Am I just desensitized because as a teenager I regularly went to DC gay clubs and drag shows with my gay friends (TRAX anyone? And Chaos, how I miss thee!) Maybe because I'm not religious and Satan/hell isn't any more real to me than Voldemort/Hogwarts?

Yes it does: “Riding on a tractor / Lean all in my bladder.”

If you’re ignorant about a particular subject, no need to speak on it.

There is no pornography in the video. So you just don’t like it because he is gay and black. White men encouraging drunkenness is fine with you.

Got it.
