Gen Z tries to cancel Eminem, hero of an earlier generation:

Pockets of Gen Z at least are getting sick of celebrity culture enough though, if there's one good thing to take from this; namely, if you're sick of the poor quality "journalism" that news outlets give out sometimes, you'll no longer have that when there's no celebrities left to fawn over and no one will be viewed as being beyond criticism. I want to thank radical movements on websites like Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram and elsewhere playing a part. I think much of Gen Z hates how equality don't seem to be applied at all for the rich and only done so to gain a profit.

Personally I don't care too much since hip hop isn't really my thing and I tend to follow sounds over artists.

I think much of EVERYBODY hates that. That all started in the 80s when Reagan legitimized greed. We, as a society, have never recovered from it.

About half of us Gen Z are trying to dig ourselves out of this world that he's created (I hope you can urinate on his grave some day or do something to make others listen, I'm relying on others with the motivation and resources right now to fight the system); the other half are well invested in his creation.

And yet in the 33 years since RWR was in office, we’ve had 16 years of Democrat presidents (Clinton, O’bama) who apparently were powerless to reverse whatever it was that Reagan allegedly put into place.

Sheesh. It’s a wonder you guys aren’t carping about Richard F. Nixon and Dwight Eisenhower.

Don't get me started on Tricky Dick Nixon...

The 80s greed thing would have happened with or without Reagan, he just put a good face on it. There's no real way to stop it now. The rich get richer and the rest of us get poorer/sorer.

Eisenhower was actually a cool guy. He was the one that warned us about the "military-industrial complex". And he was a general and a president, so he knew.

Jesus, seriously?  I'm not a big fan of Em, but the Zoomers that are apparently trying to "cancel" a seminal pop culture icon has to be one of the cringiest things I've ever seen. Dude had multiple controversies about him apparently being homophobic and sexist even though they're false (e.g., the 2001 Grammy Awards "Stan" performance with Elton John and his admiration of his daughter Hailie) and he still came out on top of everything.

Obviously not all of Gen Z is like this, but this whole episode is just embarrassing.

They've cancelled R. Kelly but I'm not sure what redeeming qualities he's had and I don't know if Gen Z even liked him (I think me and other Gen Z would have considered it dated).

Well, Gen Z do have their own artists. Maybe that's why they are canceling all of these older artists they find them dated.

Yes, growing up on the tough streets of Detroit, people trying to cancel him is no big deal. Might even make for some new material.

According to Gen Zers, this masquerade is a crock of scheiße.

I'm not really into Eminem but I hope he does write some new material about these cancel culture jerks. Knowing what I do about him, I know that he'd absolutely destroy them.  ;D

Dated or not, they need to get over it. People in our age group had to hear whatever older music got played on the radio, they can stream music and listen to literally only what they want to hear, I don't see how this is a problem.

Not quite correct. These people who go around trying to cancel everybody for every little perceived slight are serious about it. And it does real damage. Ask Roseanne Barr. Or Aziz Ansari who did nothing more than go on a date that turned awkward. He isn't Harvey Weinstein. Eminem may be "too big to fail" but the cancel warriors don't stop with him.

It is fake. Cancel was a part of gay and black lexicon before it morphed into "cancel culture". The one person on Twitter who broke the Internet by talking about cancelling Eminem actually used the word correctly. Of course older Millennials and straight people only know the one definition of cancel they heard on Facbeook/Fox News/etc. ran with it and blew it out of proportion. And of course there are always people around to click on topical sharebait and the rest is history.

Roseanne Barr...she may or may not be racist but I believe she definitely got fired because the cast, crew, and producers didn't like her and wanted any reason to get rid of her. Being canceled wasn't her issue.

Aziz wasn't canceled. In fact, there are so many op-eds and normies who defended him. Aziz Ansari decided to lie low until the media storm blew over. Ansari very much continues to have a career

I think she described a mixed-race black/brown politician as a child of a terrorist and an ape.

I was not sad to see her go tbh.
