“You don’t like Bad Bunny because you are racist, I don’t like Bad Bunny because it’s shitty commercial music, we are not the same.”
Honestly I’m starting to like him just because they hate him so much.
You know what? Fuck it, me too

Have you listened to DTmF? Bad bunny is excellent, no opposition required at all.
Honestly I don’t think he’s bad, I’m just not into pop in general. Love Afrocuban and Latin jazz on the other hand.
He has some really great songs. Not everything that’s popular is bad.
I dig the dude and his message, but NONE of that music resonated with me, and I am a hard-core, lifelong musician with a degree in music history. Other than it having a steady beat, it barely registered as music to me at all.
But I also recognize that not everything in America has to be approved by me. There were two targets for this show - Hispanics/Latinx, and MAGAs. I’m neither, so I’m just an observer, and I highly approve of any event where MAGA gets poked in the eye.
Watch his Tiny Desk Concert on NPR, it’s amazing. Arena shows are just arena shows, the music gets a little lost in all the rest of what’s going on.
Arena shows used to be all about lights, lasers, and volume. Now it’s all about props and dancers. It’s like Broadway on the road. They’re trying to give people enough entertainment value to slightly rationalize the obscene cost of concert tickets these days.
Of course, lights and lasers used to work better when the atmosphere was filled with weed smoke. Now everybody does gummies before the show. I assume.
I’m not Hispanic or MAGA and I enjoyed it. I just enjoy reggaetón and think bad bunny is a great contributor to that genre.
That’s cool. I enjoyed Prince’s and Michael’s halftimes. That’s why they cycle through the genres.
The most recent of those two was in 2007… There have been plenty of good acts that have played the super bowl since then. I think you might just not like most music.
I like MOST music, far more than most people do. Most people have very limited musical tastes, while mine are extremely wide. YOU probably dislike far more musical styles than I do.
And I didn’t say that I didn’t enjoy any other Super Bowl performances other than Prince and Michael, I just said that I enjoyed theirs the most, and since they are universally accepted as the most popular Super Bowl performances of all time, I’m clearly not alone.
I’ve actually enjoyed most of the Super Bowl performances I’ve seen. I even liked watching this one, I just didn’t dig the music, which isn’t aimed at me, and that’s okay.
“YOU probably dislike far more musical styles than I do.”
Idk maybe. I think music is pretty good most of the time.
What are some of your favorite genes?
Autotune galore?
It’s not for me either. I did hear that he endorsed the left wing(socialist iirc) party in the last Puerto Rico election, and obviously has been very vocally anti-ICE, so I’ll take it.
The guy seems alright though even if his music is not my jam.
What was that “story” where Chapter 1: Defeating evil with the power of love. Chapter 2: Defeating evil with the power of incredible violence?
I’m already at chapter 2.
I remember a movie where there was a guru like that, who convinced everybody on his (the citizens of the protagonist country/village) to not fight, because “love is the most powerful weapon”. The protagonists were like “fuck that, you’re getting everybody killed”
So when the bad guys army arrived, they were meet with flowers and people just being happy and saying no need to flee or fight. The soldiers were too weird out to attack, so they just stood there, some joined the celebrations.
The lead bad guy got angry and tried to stab the protagonist, but was killed before by a dagger thrown by the pacifist guru. Everybody just looked at then and said “love is the most powerful weapon… But it’s not always the fastest”
I have no idea what this movie was, I remember it loked like shit, but that’s scene has been living rent free on my mind forever
It sounds reminiscent of the twist in Wizards.
“I’m glad you changed your last name, you sonuvabitch!”
I love these kinds of movies so much. Where’s the reward button- NOOOO!
The reward is the lemmies we find along the way
Oh I know that story:
Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace
If they can’t be persuaded by talking to them softly, beat them with a big stick.
“Speak softly but carry a big stick,” implies that you have to be ready to deploy that Big Stick, and the other side has to believe it.
Unfortunately, the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries has been using the Big Stick to roast marshmallows and weenies, instead of waving it around, and everyone has forgotten about it. It’s time to take away the Big Stick, beat Schmuck & Jeffries with it for a while, then use it on MAGA, real hard.
We all need to go watch Bad Bunny on Tiny Desk to really appreciate the expert musicianship.
Edit: going to link to my own comment on another post asking about explanation of the halftime show’s references: https://lemmy.world/comment/22044314
I will upvote any tinydesk link. I love tiny desk, such a good way to discover music if you just let it run in the background while you work or whatever.
Its how I discovered Monsieur Perine and Hobo Johnson and the lovemakers.
Yeah it’s
goodfire. I’d heard about it, finally looked it up earlier todayEdited
It was all over Norwegian media that Trump said it was the worst half time show ever.
Therefore I unironically fully assume that it must have been the best fucking halftime show of all time, full stop.
It was great, definitely the best I’ve seen. Not just some generic gyrating dancers on stage… there was a whole story, a real couple got married and had their wedding cake as part of the story, there was dynamic movement and action throughout, all filmed very well. Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin made appearances. Lots of cultural symbolism. Oh, and music on top of all that. Plus I now have a low key crush on Bad Bunny cause he is just delicious.
wasn’t he supposed to be wearing a dress or something?
He never said that, people on the Internet did
He watched it at his own party and not the Kid Rock BS
I want to do a meme of Bugs Bunny happily walking away, while Elmer’s face is blown up and blackened from his shotgun backfiring, and label them Bad Bunny and MAGA, but I don’t know how, so please enjoy this description instead.
Have you tried using an AI service that will take the description you provided and render it as a creepy, completely humourless, fight-or-flight response inducing hallucination at the cost of merely boiling off a small lake?
The only time I tried AI, I attempted make it create a picture that combined Trump, Hitler, and a pig, into my favorite Trump nickname HitlerPig, but it wouldn’t cooperate.
What did it just give you a portrait of Trump, thus completely and accurately matching your query? Insert “They’re the same picture” meme here.
That would be hilarious.
AI can’t make a comment chain this hilarious.
I’m pleased that you are entertained by an entirely human interaction.

i like how its two-handing a revolver xD
That, and “Together we are America”. It was written on the football but he only flashed the writing very briefly.

Honestly though, theres nothing more holy than sponsors in sports, so they probably asked them for permission prior to this message beeing displayed. The fact that they were okay with a message that pisses off a good portion of their customers speaks for them.
Still wouldnt buy their pants though.
You can have both.
A trauma bond so poweful that even when you mom abuses you, you still don’t wanna let go because being alone is anxiety inducing.
Emotional ambivalence isn’t only normal, it’s healthy. I love my partner for being my friend and supporter, but have also felt genuine hatred due to them not doing the work necessary to be a good spouse, leading to us separating.
The trauma bond is a bit different, though. It’s unhealthy ambivalence, where even the positive feelings are ultimately rooted in strongly negative behavior. I had one with my father, so I get it.
I remember when I was a kid, I used to cuddle with my mom, but now I think she just secretly despise me because I’m not young and cuddly anymore 😢
It’s horrible, just imagine if people would stop to hate each other… How would nazis get all the attention in a world like that?
I’m pretty sure it’s actually those shoulder pads.
That, and all the big booty latinas.
Shadow the Hedgehog approves
Uhh
Lots of things are more powerful than hate
Like clothing branding apparently.
It’s the name of the stadium ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Which is itself a pretty fucked up thing no matter how normalized it is.
There’s a cricket ground near me called the Hampshire Rosebowl. At least, that’s what it was called when it was built.
Since then it’s been sponsored by a series of insurance or finance firms, so has officially been known as The <FIRM_NAME> Bowl.
But not to me. Nope. It’ll always be the Rosebowl.
Yeah, love is nice, but have you ever tried a Trident II D5 SLBM with 8 adjustable yield MIRV warheads?
Jeans!
I didn’t watch the superbowl but I heard it was good. Not because I’m right-wing or anything like that. Also the Seahawks won so yay for them. I didn’t watch it because I’m not a big sports fan and I didn’t have a way to watch.
Same here, but I usually watch the half time on YouTube along with the ads
You can’t tell because you’re not wearing the special glasses.
it’s a bit of a cry in the vacuum to say that over there, isn’t it? the whole land is filled with haters.
