SPECIAL SNOWFLAKES ACCUSE BRUNO MARS OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

Cultural appropriation is defined as, the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture. This is a very open-ended definition that can be confused and misinterpreted. There have been a lot of instances of cultural appropriation in the music world recently that has lead to a lot of controversies around artists.

But a lot of people who accuse others of doing this, have a case of special snowflake syndrome. Everyone wants to come after artists on social media to start drama but behind their screens, they have no idea what they are talking about. Then people try to jump on the bandwagon to seem like they are a part of a cause that is bigger than them. I really hate this generation.

A week ago an activist accused Bruno Mars, of all people, of being a culture vulture profiting off of traditionally black music. Bruno Mars’ mother is Filipina and his father is Puerto Rican and Jewish but he has music that is funk, soul, R&B, reggae and hip-hop.

This girl who probably is so bored out of her mind that she has to find SOMETHING to fight about said this:

This girl has no life, who cares? I suggest you stop screaming on Twitter for views and start dealing with your actual problems that made you so angry for no reason.

Don’t worry a lot of people came to Bruno Mar’s defense:

Bruno Mars said in a February 2017 interview with Latina magazine:

“When you say ‘black music,’ understand that you are talking about rock, jazz, R&B, reggae, funk, doo-wop, hip-hop and Motown, black people created it all. Being Puerto Rican, even salsa music stems back to the Motherland [Africa]. So, in my world, black music means everything. It’s what gives America its swag. I’m a child raised in the ’90s, pop music was heavily rooted in R&B from Whitney, Diddy, Dr. Dre, Boyz II Men, Aaliyah, TLC, Babyface, New Edition, Michael, and so much more … I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for these artists who inspired me.”

Overall everyone is overly sensitive and probably mad that he took home almost all the Grammys this year. People should really get a hobby or something and stop coming for talented artists that use other cultures to inspire them.
