The "U"-word.

I was urban, when urban wasn’t oool.

How long until Keith Urban has to change his name

Something else to not lose sleep over.

I suppose “Ghetto” is unsuitable, too?

Like I really care, but I always wondered how “urban” came to be associated with minority concerns. I once heard a high school in NW Indiana referred to as urban, when it is a good distance outside a real urban area and right at where the vast farmlands of Indiana begin. I was informed that urban means “minority majority.” In this case, most students at the school are black.

Damn. I was just getting used to calling the MS13 graffiti in my neighborhood ‘Urban Art’.

“Progressive Cowboy”?? Bud & Sissy aren’t going to like that..

From the article:

"All references to urban have been eliminated"

and

"Latin pop album has been renamed best Latin pop or urban album"

Huh?

There have been about a dozen songs released in the last 30 years that are worth listening to.So I couldn’t care less if they rename it “God’s Own Music”.

It is all just “kill whitey” anyway.

The only thing to have sunk faster and deeper than TV and movies in the 21st C has been been modern “music.”

ION - Walmart to remove all white bread from shelves in support of protesters. White sugar to follow next.

But they still call other music "country" based on rural areas.

Low population density music matters!

[ronnie raygun]

Entertainment and music, garbage for years

Will jungle work for ya?

“When asked by Variety about the timing of the Grammys dropping the word “urban,” Mason explained it wasn’t necessarily a reactionary move given the current discussion about race in the country and had actually been in the works for some time.”

Urban League. Urban youth. I didn’t know the word had become widely recognized as contaminated.

I didn’t even think liberals could experience revulsion at anything but a conservative.

[goodnesswins]

In other words...they want people they disagree with to SHUT UP...FOREVER. Every word will soon be poison.

[cherry]

I am sure the undercurrent of this is that more white artists will be ignored and more black...wait til we see more country artists singing being outvoted by some black crap artist....

[rllngrk33]

So they’re renaming it so people will think it isn’t the same old crap? But it will still stink just the same.

[joshua c]

I guess Country is next.
