So parents let their children enjoy their funny horse song, never looking into the words their kids were hearing daily. Which is problematic - how can you complain about MONTERO, but allow your child to listen to a song with lyrics such as “Lean all in my bladder”, “Cheated on my baby, you can go and ask her”, “Bull riding and boobies” - Old Town Road is not a child-friendly song by any means, but LNX didn’t include naked breasts, or ( as far as I’m aware ) market the song in a way that showcased those lyrics. And in LNX’s case, people used his previous success with Old Town Road - I saw one tweet saying Old Town Road is “every kid’s anthem”, and that their children love Old Town Road. were complaints hurled at Cardi B and LNX over their music. “Children watch you”, “how could you expose kids to this”, etc. WAP did this too, a little - both of these songs, and their accompanying videos, were criticized using children. But here’s why I think this is so important - MONTERO’s release has exposed, in my opinion, where the real issues lie in Western culture.
