Yeah, I had to take a look to see who is on the Hot 100 charts now vs. twenty years ago to actually see what this was being based on. I will say that R&B was huge on the pop charts in the 90s—it was the pop music of a lot of that decade. You had years where Mariah Carey or Boyz II Men had like five singles each on…
They meant "Other Latinos". You know like Paraguayans…
Considering that according to the line graphs(not the trendlines) on those charts, still over 20% of the artists on the Hot 100 and like a quarter of the artists nominated for the top Grammies are black, (who make up about 14% of the total US population), isn't it the "severely under-represented" folks in the massive …

Especially Roger Moore-era Bond, they'd have him supposedly undercover as a marine biologist or something for about five minutes—and it's like geez Bond, could you try even less…

Father John Misty sounds like the name for a rogue Catholic priest who performs exorcisms and cleanses possessed houses of demons and witches on the side…
Hey, you just came up with Macauly Culkin's next band idea.
Netherlands is the nice kid who studies just hard enough to get a B+, but sells weed on the side.
You're telling me! I'm like the fourth Joey Jo-Jo Jr Shabadoo on here…
Mixtape Management is a pretty safe career path.
The Bitch and the Maiden Fair
I'd actually be somewhat reassured about the youth of today if middle schoolers still listened to Anthrax rather than whatever current artists they're probably into.
Is Bushwick Bill still alive to do some Tyrion raps?
I'm curious about who's still getting really excited to go see AC/DC.
