I love how Trent Reznor won awards for this song. Love NIN and love Lil Nas X. And I love how the Billy Ray Cyrus hopped on this. Shout out to the producer - i'd love to hear how he found the Ghosts album if he never heard of NIN

This is such great, Pulitzer Prize winning journalism from the Times. I can’t think of a better piece I’ve ever read in my life then this thought-provoking and scholarly piece.

I love that Sam Hunt can make essentially rap/rock country, but it's fine. But Old Town Road isn't "country" enough.

With all the bad that comes with the internet it’s such a relief to see something like a small artist with no following have their music blow up just from being spread across social media and meme’d like it’s made a music career so much attainable
