You couldn't overestimate how important she was to shaping the attitude of boys of my age at the time towards women, and for girls in who they could be and that they didn't have to put up with any nonsense. Its a very appropriate tshirt and role model for a young girl. Good purchase.

All the rap and bitterness feeds through to different generations. I can't really remember ( maybe there was)so much nastiness and entitlement when I grew up listening even to pu k music. God save the queen maybe a bit to the bone? However just a manufactured boy band no?

There are no words for how bad that song I Wanne be Free is. Toyah was a pantomime of punk, like my mum giving her impression of punk at a fancy dress party.

It would seem to be the other way round - the people involved are simply making music about their actual way of life.

"The report analyses a decade of knife crime data, pointing to the role of drill music, social media, revenge attacks and a failure of police strategy in the rise of gang violence."The role of X in the rise of Y, says the report. You've turned that around to interpret it as the role of Y in the rise of X.

You've turned that around to interpret it as the role of Y in the rise of X. You're saying there'd be no gang members if not for drill music. I'm saying there'd be no drill music if not for gang members. (deliberately oversimplified for the benefit of the intended audience)

The report is not talking about gang membership, but the rise in gang violence.... and its causes.

there has been at least one instance that I know of ( and I'm not into that culture / music ) where literally hours after putting up a video saying "i'm a gonna shank him" a gang member did indeed stab that person and a video of the stabbing was added at the end of the "music" video.
Of course any attempt to clamp down on drill music results in an outcry that "the feds are dissin' are culture"

I don’t listen to drill music. The Beeb broadcasted one artist “performing” Doja in the Glastonbury 2023. I certainly don’t think the fans there want violence there, may be just some booze, pills and xxx.
