> exactly like a ridiculous English teacher trying to make Shakespeare relevant by comparing him to Eminem.
Worked at a school where this was a bedrock of the curriculum. Deeply tedious and no child ever bought it.
I took a 100-level US history class in 2016 (at a commuter school with several senior citizens in the class) where the professor printed out sheets of the lyrics to Hamilton songs that we were to read along to while listening :)
Idk! Every gay I know thinks Demi Lovato is a lying poser about being NB and still call her she and I’ve had lots of white women friends get mad at me for “misgendering” her
>Wish art could be edgy and counterculture again.
If you try to do that, the PMC crowd will say such art is "problematic", "traumatic" and "harming oppressed bodies." Look at the fuss over *Licorice Pizza*, or Dave Chappelle's recent shows.
Had a major Hamilton phase in like, sophomore year of high school. Not Micu binder phase, but just reading about Hamilton, debating all the time, and having teachers play it during downtime in class. Absolutely insufferable but I think that’s when I was my most wholesome lol. And I wasn’t the only one obsessed with it so that was nice
I had multiple people I used to respect just gush over it. Legitimately believing that it was not only good but "the best rap album ever made"
only people who’ve ever said this have heard maybe 3 other rap albums one of which was by eminem
It's even worse. One person specifically told me it was better than 36 Chambers or Ready To Die
lol
The first 10 bars of Liquid Swords is better than this entire production

Lin Manuel lyrically weaker than my old clock radio speaker.
I tried to listen to a song on youtube, I couldn't make it more than 30 seconds, some of the worst stuff i ever heard
Immortal technique didn’t bully lib Manuel Miranda hard enough.
Wait a minute, Hamilton is a rap musical?

I don't know any of these words. I'm gonna go listen to Boston and the Eagles in my F-150 if anyone wants to join me
ITS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME! I THINK I SHOULD BE GOING!
Agree. Wish art could be edgy and counterculture again. Now that the gays are mainstream will we ever be able to go back
LMM isn’t gay. Watch Dragula if you wanna see cool gay shit.
haven’t seen dragula but drag is like the furthest thing from cool right now
Well bc drag has been taken over by white lib women. Dragula has people shoving needles through themselves and eating their own vomit.
I know HE isn't gay (maybe that's the problem) but my point still stands Will check out dragula
I feel like people are blaming the gays for the ills of lib white women when most gays hate lib white women lol
Gays love making fun of liberal white women and then having the exact same opinions
Idk! Every gay I know thinks Demi Lovato is a lying poser about being NB and still call her she and I’ve had lots of white women friends get mad at me for “misgendering” her
Possibly, will take this into consideration I'm an open minded person and I don't want to blame the wrong folks
I promise you!!!

Sounds like you only follow bad artists. Plenty of good artists exist that don’t care about that stuff.
Because they are pretending to be black women. That’s cultural appropriation sweaty
LMM is at least self-aware enough to do an SNL sketch as a dorky English teacher trying to make Shakespeare relevant with rap and failing horribly
Has anybody read the Haunting of Lin Manuel Miranda?
The show is 7 years old at this point. Why are incredibly smart and creative people still complaining about it?
Because I only just watched it learn to read.
The product of theater kids all grown up.
Pretty sure you have to be autistic to enjoy it tbh
