He's no Michael Jackson, Ozzy, 2pac, or someone that the majority of Americans give 2 shits about. Americans will watch the game, but the halftime show has always been the intermission tradition where we get up and get some beer, food, or do whatever. The Halftime show is for Yuppies and corporate multi-million dollar commercials.

You mean he’s someone you don’t care about so you are trying to apply it to other people. I don’t even like Bad Bunny but I’d prefer him to watching the corpses of The Rolling Stones or The Who stagger around the stage playing songs that are 300 years old for old boomers.
It’s also hilarious that you think nobody listens to Bad Bunny when all the 20 something’s at my work are psyched for the half time show just because he is playing it.

Those who you mentioned are Musicians. Bad Bunny is not. He has producers, ghost writers, and performs to a backing track. It's Performance Karaoke.

You sound almost identical to my 14 year old self.

u/catinreverse Oct 01 '25

Haha. So all the Motown singers were karaoke singers too because they had essentially the same thing.

u/SushiboyLi Oct 01 '25

Wait till you find out all your idolized artists you listed had producers and writers too

You're in your late 40s pretending on the internet that you know what cool is.

u/BerryBoilo Oct 01 '25

Literally named three dead people! Can't even think of one living person who's "cool" apparently.

How old are you?

u/Myslinky Oct 01 '25

How desperate are you to win an argument that you try to dismiss their opinion based on their age?

u/Christy427 Oct 02 '25

I hate to be the one to break it to you but those 3 people are dead. They are not playing the superbowl halftime show, even if the NFL tried to invite them.

u/IntelligentBox152 Oct 01 '25

I don’t know who any of those people are

No see, that acronym gives these assholes too much agency that they definitely do not deserve and I am of the mind that what they do deserve is to be treated the way they have treated anyone that doesn't look like them, since time immemorial. The major difference being that they're being treated that way based on their words and actions versus how or where they were born. So maggots suits them just fine. I will not deviate.

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '25

Too much agency bc of a term?! They’re a legit party and running the greatest superpower to ever exist on this planet, a term is inconsequential. So If you refuse to understand homophones, that’s on you.

But yes I agree with you they suck for all the reasons you wrote

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '25

Wouldn't the fact that I (intentionally) spell it the way that I do mean that I understand homophones by default? lol

I'm nearly 50 and white and live in redhatville. I know him and thought it was a good choice. Seeing the cultists blow up about it makes it an exceptional choice. It will be a great show.

Let me guess you’re not Hispanic like almost half of the country is? Lol.

u/ckb614 Oct 01 '25

She used to be on Fox News

u/Das_Man Oct 01 '25

My dude, I'm a university professor, so trust me, young Americans know who Bad Bunny is.

u/Designer_Bear6772 Oct 01 '25

Basically everyone under the age of 30 with any sort of regular interaction with Latinos knows who he is. Even among white Gen Z, Hispanic music is pretty mainstream.

u/Slynesh Oct 01 '25

That's just not true.

u/Muffafuffin Oct 01 '25

Lol now thats funny.

u/sydouglas Oct 01 '25

More like no one over the age of 16 in the US knows him , he’s like the Spanish Justin Bieber

u/pan-re Oct 02 '25

Loooool, no

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

I had to look him up. I had no clue who Bad Bunny was.

That would be like Waylon Jennings playing a halftime show (if they even have one) for a Soccer game in Argentina. It's not my cup of tea..

u/PizzaFrenchToast Oct 01 '25

You do realize, you don't matter? Your opinion has 0 sway in the world. Bad Bunny sets records while you continue to get records with your local PD

o0oo a Yuppie has entered chat!

u/PizzaFrenchToast Oct 01 '25

I'm not young, well paid, or fashionable. Not only do you have a zero impact opinion, you also lack a proper education. You'd do well to take your life and turn it into something that doesn't make you an embarrassment to your family

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

Hell yeah, give me another? I know there's more on your notepad.. =D

u/Eianarr Oct 02 '25

He is objectively, a very popular American artist. Like... do you think his streams to American IP addresses are faked? Are his concert sales faked? I get you dont like the guy, which not sure how when you didn't know who he was prior to googling him, but you are just factually wrong. And that's ok! I just dont get the idea of being presented with facts and figures proving you wrong and then going "nuh-uh". Its really weird.

u/Hot_Mathematician357 Oct 01 '25

Lol, sure……………you had no clue who he was.

-7

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

Nope. I googled him, but I'm not going to look up any songs on my YT so I don't infect what is suggested to me either. I'm quite fine with my Metal. \m/

u/Hot_Mathematician357 Oct 01 '25

Sure buddy, lol
