[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That song “Squeezebox” is a cringey embarrassment. I like a lot of Beyoncé, am looking forward to Homecoming, but I don’t view her as a role model for my daughter. I see PPs point about her sexually explicit lyrics being not a great symbol of black academic excellence and culture in light of the HBCU theme, but I also see PPs point about her success and luminosity being one (of many) part of black artistic and cultural importance and success. Sadly, her husband is fugly, but they seem to have a great and collaborative career rapport. I hate Taylor Swift, fwiw.

And no, “Satisfaction” isn’t saying “pregnant” after “make some girl”! The lyric is about being on the make ie looking for action. [/quote]

eh, there's been controversy at best about that Stones lyric. [/quote]

The older generation has been getting the vapors about the younger generation's music for a long, long time (Elvis!).  The difference with Beyonce is that some of her fans that grew up listening to her are now among the "older generation" she is now alienating.

FWIW, I think it was a risky move for Beyonce to alienate a fairly significant section of her fan base in the hopes of growing a more youthful base.  That may or not backfire on her.  But she's been in the industry long enough to know which calculated risks are worth taking.  [/quote]
