She is a household name in my house and in countless others. You aren’t being criticized for not being in the know, you are being criticized for doubling down on your ignorance. 

I’ll let you in on something everyone else is instinctually getting but you’re not: you don’t know who Janelle Monae is, or why she’s famous, because you are a racist who only pays attention to white performers.

Yes, pleas Trollbot2020Putin4evAr, log off and go away. No one here is impressed or interested you *hot takes*

I will help you out a bit. She’s been on nearly every talk show, both day and night, multiple times. She was on David Letterman 3 times and famously danced on his desk. She was a spokesmodel for Cover Girl and has been on the cover of a ridiculous amount of magazines. She acted in a couple of major motion pictures and…

She’s earned six Grammy noms, co-starred in Best Picture winner Moonlight, as well as a starring role in Hidden Figures, and she’s a CoverGirl spokeswoman. Even if you’ve heard none of her music, seen none of her movies and never use makeup - if you’re on the Internet, you should have a passing recognition of her.…

Most people following a pop culture blog know who Janelle Monae is. If you don’t that’s on you. It’s Janelle Fucking Monae.

It isn't. So fuck off.

Just because you don’t know who she is doesn’t mean she isn’t a household name. She’s a famous singer, has starred in a film that won an Academy Award for best picture, and has been on major magazine covers.

The blog is not required to explain who enormously popular musicians/actresses are every time they are mentioned. They don’t say “‘Good Will Hunting’ actor Ben Affleck,” do they? This isn’t People magazine, get your head out of your ass.

Who pulled you out of the greys? I’d like to kick them in the crotch.

I guess there should never be another musician again, given the number who have already existed.

You should post a picture of yourself so we can see just how beautiful you are dipshit. You probably don’t have the balls though you wuss.

John, I know you think you’re very edgy, but you’re just extremely boring.

Because in most areas, the police respond to every EMS call.

Let’s see, so far in the Mueller investigation there has been a conviction of Manafort and guilty pleas from Papadopoulos, Cohen, Flynn, and Gates...........Yep, this whole thing sure is a real witch hunt that isn’t turning up any criminal activity.

I love their House/EDM side project tho: the Burning Chancres. Especially that one song that goes “Brrtrt brrrt brrrrt brt brrt,” that’s a great song.

Turns out, “Raging Syphilis” is a really bad name for a band. 

No.

I heard it's risky to walk with Trump, and some people have been thrown out of stores for shopping with Trump.

They can kick you out of Starbucks for being associated with Donald Trump! They can pull you over for driving while being associated with Donald Trump! People will call the cops on you while you’re in a public place just for being associated with Donald Trump! This is truly the grossest ongoing injustice in America!
