We are living in a time when American popular music is finally being recognized as one of our most successful exports. The demand is huge.
A lot of people get into alternative music as part of their identity. It's something that isn't the mainstream, that their brothers and sisters don't know about, and that their parents don't like. It's something they can have as their own.
There's been a shift: Country music is popular music now. Every other genre wants to come over to our land.
We do want to be diverted and be interested and be provoked by popular culture - by art, if we're lucky. And it's amazing how often people have lost sight of this.
I feel like more artists like me should be on the radio. Everything is, like, so controlled by, like, super popular music. You know what I'm saying? Like, c'mon.
To the average mind popular music would mean compositions vulgarly conceived and commonplace in their treatment. That is absolutely false.
In my opinion, it seems like music is taking a bit of a turn. Look at Mumford and Sons, and the Lumineers. It seems like people and music fans are enjoying the more artistic side of music, and that popular music is taking a turn and accepting that, so I appreciate that.
In rap, as in most popular lyrics, a very low standard is set for rhyme; but this was not always the case with popular music.
With what's happened in the world the last three years, it's easier to see why it's become popular again to diminish and revile Arabs and Muslims in American popular culture.
