@iamthe99 okay and try to answer this how did we get counterculture bands like the doors or Pink Floyd that talk about topics of freedom and countercultry radical and even to this day somewhat controversial ideas to what we get now cardi B which is literally just brainwashing materialism

@meltingflowers LOL! Different eras, different forces!
The 60s and 70s counterculture gave rise to bands like The Doors and Pink Floyd because youth movements pushed back against war, conformity, and authority. Music reflected that rebellion.
Pop culture now is shaped by algorithms, capitalism, and virality. Cardi B isn’t brainwashing, she reflects current values: hustle, fame, survival.
It’s not the government, it’s market demand, social media, and what sells. Music mirrors society. If the mainstream looks hollow, it says more about us than it does about some hidden agenda.

@meltingflowers HAHAHAHAHAAHA!!
Corporate government doesn’t program your Spotify playlist, maaaann. ☮
The market is shaped by what people click, stream, and share. Labels chase trends, not mind control plans. If everyone ignored Cardi B and streamed underground artists, guess what? That’s what the market would push!!! It’s not some puppet master - it’s millions of choices adding up.
Blame the algorithm, not the Illuminati!🤣

@meltingflowers Yeah, and Jim also rode the wave of a massive record label, toured globally, and dropped acid in mansions. He challenged the system from within it.
Calling people “slaves” was a provocation, not prophecy. He wanted minds opened, not frozen in conspiracy. If you’re really about freedom, support artists who push limits today instead of just worshipping ghosts from 50 years ago.🤦🏻♂
