How are there "progressives" who still listen to Kanye West?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I don't get it.

[This user has not been convicted of 34 felonies]

Easy--they listen to Kanye West and then believe in progressive causes. Hope this helps!

[Pouring Rain and Blairing Music]

Not everybody complains about every single thing on the face of the planet.

[Orwell]

Kanye is deadass a real good rapper

[Kingpoleon]

I don’t agree with Clint Eastwood on everything, but he’s a great actor. You don’t have to agree with someone politics to admire them or what they make - be that movies, music, food, whatever.

[Mexican Wolf]

They do it to rebel against you, I guess.

You know all those stupid metalcore bands I gave you sh!t for liking?

Those bands are f[inks]ing Mineral or Rites of Spring in comparison to Kanye West. His "music" is such unbelievable garbage I've been unable to make it through an entire song of his I've heard. This sh!t is just sooooooo bad it makes me want to shove pencils in my ears. Pure, unadulterated garbage.

[SWE]

Because they have good taste

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Compartmentalization. Try it some time.

Thats what many people think of the bands you like, it turns out that music taste is subjective

I'm not able to do that. I basically only listen to music made by people with the same politics as me so if someone doesn't listening to them would make me freak the f[inks] out.

Why would anybody listen to rap?

Im 15 and even i know there is no point to rap. It has no meaning and is just somebody talking really fast while mumbling all the words to the point that you can't understand it. It takes no talent because anybody can do it, even i could but i despise it so i won't. They are constantly swearing these offensive terms including the f bomb and at worst, the n word! It sickens me that people like and listen to rap because its crap. God forbid you listen to rap but if you do, at least listen to Eminem. He is the best one and he can't say the n word. Kendrick, J.Cole, and Drake are nothing compared to the Rap God.

Why can't we go back to the good old days with Queen, ACDC, and Led Zepplin? Those bands had actual talent and could produce music while these rapers can't put two sentences together. It really does sadden me knowing that this generation probably hasn't even heard of these amazing bands. This generation absolutely sucks and i just wish i could go back to the 1980's, maybe i would make some friends back then.

Can I report this for Kanyephobia?

Made some change to make it accurate.

I’m not a huge rap fan but I wouldn’t use these pretty simplistic (and borderline racist) critiques. Also wouldn’t exactly say Queen and ACDC are the best examples of great bands. Not massively into classic rock but I can appreciate Led Zep. There is still good music being made if you look beyond the Top 40.

It was literally the first thing that came up when I googled “rap is crap copypasta”

Compartmentalization. Try it some time.

I'm not able to do that.

Then that's a "you" problem.

Not really as I still have plenty of music to listen to.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Nostalgia for his music? To be fair, even as I always detested West as both an artist and person, it isn't that difficult for me to appreciate the artistry of someone who I disagree with politically. I can understand it. For instance, I like a lot of Meatloaf songs even though he's a Republican.

You are in no position to criticize anyone's taste in music, BRTD.

[Storr]

Because people have different tastes.

No. BRTD's taste is objectively bad.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Because not everything's about politics.

I personally don't care for rap music and prefer country, but that's just my taste.  Some entertainment tastes might have a political correlation, but there are usually plenty of other reasons for that before directly thinking of partisan politics.
