He’s very very popular in the US as well, and I think it’s great that there is some genre diversity in the halftime show. You don’t have to speak Spanish to enjoy bad bunny, I speak very little and I still like his music a lot. There’s no reason for the performer to have to sing in English
Why do I as a Mexican have to like bad bunny just because I’m Mexican? Am I restricted in my music taste because of my ethnicity? My bad my music taste doesn’t fall between racial expectations. And no, I understood the message I just don’t give af because I simply do not care. Music was mid
Ding ding ding!! There it is!! You not caring about an important racial setback ongoing in America is enough reason for me to dismiss your opinions and reasoning completely. I haven’t met a single latinx who does not enjoy Bad Bunny so it was safe to assume you would at least support his music given he represents a good portion of Latino music with how popular he is
I have no time to care about that when there’s a million other things that hit me closer to home. It’s Latino but ok. He doesn’t represent me no artist really does except for maybe spiritbox or the Maria’s. Why do I have to support him when I don’t like his music? Is it just because he’s also Hispanic?
Latinx is latina/latino. It’s a pretty common term to use when speaking of both male and female latin populations. You have more than enough emotional capacity to care about any number of things you choose. You are choosing not to because, wait for it, it doesn’t affect you which you stated so clearly in your previous reply.
You can support artists and not like their music. Both things can be true. I just find it odd that as a minority, you’d rather have an old white band (Metallica) play the Super Bowl over someone who represents the Latino population, even if you don’t like his music. Latinos don’t perform the Super Bowl half as often as white bands do. Just interesting to see the lack of support for Bad Bunny.
Just jumping in here to say most of the Latino people I’ve met have said they don’t really like the term Latinx because it forces a suffix that only works in English and doesn’t make sense for the language. Also because Latino is already gender neutral. Maybe something to research a bit, personally it’s not a term I use anymore
and i bet you sometimes can’t understand music in English and go google the lyrics. You could do the same thing here and just google the translation so you know what’s going on, and even maybe learn some Spanish. Not saying you should do it, but your arguments against bad bunny speak more about your ignorance rather than him being bad choice for superbowl
i like their music too. But having old guys most of young generation doesn’t listen to is not what you go for in those kinds of events. And if the audience on stadium doesnt love it, it’s not worth it. They had their times, but events like this are the time for new music, whether you like it or not
Frankly think he’d be offended to be called American. Can we call him Puerto Rican instead. Our relationship with the country is complicated, and it’s basically been his whole brand to shine light on PR and give it the attention it deserves. Despite the fact that he is American in papers and that’s why he’s technically allowed to perform his career is based on globalizing the beauty of Puerto Rican culture and music.
There hasn’t been a rock show at the Super Bowl since The Who performed in 2010 and there hasn’t been a country show since Shania Twain in 2002, I’m personally pretty tired of generic pop music being the halftime show every year and this guy’s music being in Spanish doesn’t make it less generic radio pop
He put on a spectacle visually AND is doing this for his people. It was a good show. He made a mini movie of the social commentary that was also included on the video. Just cause you can’t understand it doesn’t make it bad. I am Puerto Rican and didn’t follow him until he started this whole show for Puerto Rican culture, pride and visibility. He and his team are geniuses in marketing too which is why he has gotten so far. The reason he got as far as the superbowl is because people talk about him
I don’t love reggaeton in general because of the lyrics and I never followed bad bunny before these last few years, and his music is not the best in my eyes. But I truly deeply appreciate what he does for our country and admire how far he’s gotten and how hard it is to get there
I wouldn’t want Morgan Wallen either, he’s definitely an example of the lowest form of the genre. I’d take Childers over him all day and if I could have any country artist I wanted I’d pick Colter Wall. But this year being the 45th anniversary of Metallica who formed in the Bay Area is why they would’ve been a good choice
As a white American who doesn’t speak English, I listen to bad bunny because notes and melodies transcend language. This should be common sense. Same reason everyone liked despacito and sung the lyrics even without knowing what they were singing. The melody went viral because melodies are universal.
I never said I hated him, triggered much? Also no one can take away someone’s heritage, grow up. I personally don’t like his music, and I also don’t like the superbowl and I am not into sports :) I am very much still Puerto Rican, I don’t need your approval to be so. And I never denied his impact, perhaps you should rethink your words before commenting.
So? Millions of non-Spanish speakers enjoy his music regardless. This man is going to start a world tour that includes countries I hadn’t even heard of on the other side the world and many countries who’s language is nowhere near or similar to Spanish. Also, he may not sing in English but he does it speak it.
How tf do you feel over represented? There are so many latino american-football players yet there’s never been a headlining Spanish-singing artist, it’s the first time, and you claim over representation? Get out of here with that bs 🙄 and for it to be such a globally recognized and popular artist at that not one just popular in Latin America. You’re either a fake and not a latino or full of bs and think you’re white 😂😂😂😂 🖕🏼
Ok I just saw that you are hispanic too. And okay, I’d be cool with them kicking the cartels n ms13 out of America if that was the only people they were kicking out. The way they’re just tossing any Spanish speaking person in the back of a van and not giving folks due process really puts a bad feeling in my stomach and it should for you too. Like bro ICE is disappearing random motherfuckers and you’re cool with that?
That’s not happening. I’ve done a lot of research on stuff like this, there might be some crazy cases where something like that happens but it is extremely rare. The government now isn’t doing anything different than Obama or bush was so I really don’t understand the problem with all of this.
Can y’all keep in mind that fucking USA is LITERALLY made up of immigrants of all races. But the only ones the government seem to be booting are Hispanics. Historically speaking also exploited Asians in the country and African Americans. Yet nobody ever mentions all the European colonizers as immigrants. Just because some Latinos entered illegally (which many Europeans do too) does not make every Hispanic in the US illegal. Once that assumption is made it becomes tied to racial prejudice.
And Arabs also experience much racism off of prejudice. ICE is taking people who are literally in courtrooms to finally get registered as citizens. They work for you, do your dirty work, they brought their children here for a better life. And if you’re a Latino who’s only ever lived in the USA and never seen the suffering experienced in your home country and still support the dehumanizing word “illegal,” when that was their only option you need to reevaluate some things.
Oh nooo the governments gonna get me 😬😳😱. Yeah no. The only cases of legal immigrants being taken is for example like during like traffic stops or similar things and not having id on them. Then they figure out they’re legal and let them go. Also I feel like referring to the detention centers as concentration camps really undermines how bad they were during the holocaust. It’s not different than a prison
No I actually have gotten pulled over tho without my id and they just looked me up in their system and it was fine. But what I was mentioning earlier was that some newer legal immigrants might not be in the systems like I was and then they get taken in and then released. It happened to a buddy of mine and he’s still here
Jews and Samaritans were longstanding political enemies. I’m sure that Samaritan was still glad to be Samaritan but he showed mercy to the enemy of his state. I am trying to be understanding to you but my understanding of the immigration system leads me to a completely different conclusion than you. I am sure you still are a good person just with a different outlook than myself
And thank you for talking of your/your friends experiences with the state. I’m very distrustful of the government for a variety of personal and historical reasons. And honestly today I think there is so much polarization on both sides and I’m sick of it. You were very civil and I’m glad we have common ground. I’m gonna do some homework now. God bless
Oh yeah for sure. Honestly I can definitely understand why you’re distrustful of the government, I am too in some cases. And yes I agree that there’s a lot of polarization on both sides, I’m independent. And thank you too for being civil about it too. I think it’s very important to have civil debates and to find common ground. God bless you too
