“Rap is degenerate,”

Dont care what you feel about it. People found pop, jazz, country, and rock to be the same too. How much you want to bet one of those is something you listened to?

Find a better excuse to endorse actual degenerate state practices or be prepared for someone else to declare a genre of music you like to be “unfit”.

“Chicoms aren’t ALWAYS wrong.”

Communists are ALWAYS wrong.

After they take over, Commies always forbid the things they used to promote in order to weaken the old order. That's why hippies and new left types are non-existent in Communist countries.

The thing is, the western Left is so nihilistic I'm not sure they'd settle into a stodgy, socially conservative Stalinism once they took over. They might actually try to initiate an unending nihilist revolution.

I am not a fan of hiphop or any other modern noise, but I put my life on the line 35 years ago to stand up for their right to their version of the pursuit of happiness. (Providing of course they do not visit their proclivities on the rest of us)

“No, it’s factually degenerate,”

Ok? You think that same line wasn’t used multiple times for everything new genre of music going back to the Waltz?

“It worships cop killers, gangsters, prostitution, and drugs”

Not all of it has or does, anymore than all rock worships Satan, getting drunk, drugs, and screwing hookers.

“A healthy country doesn’t promote these things. “

A healthy country doesn’t cheer totalitarianism-type actions to spare their snowflake sensibilities from songs no matter if some are just trash.

And the nation isn’t supposed to be in the business of regulating music anyway. Heck, 110 years ago, you would be fainting in the streets over the “degenerate” form of music called Ragtime.

If you dont like it, then dont listen to it.
