@snail I have a deep appreciation of Spanish culture, my mother's family being from Andalucía, and my grandfather being a very good singer and guitar player. I was listening to some songs of one of the most renowned musicians from Andalucía, stuff my grandfather would sing. Youtube insisted in throwing in reggaetton in between songs as ads, which really annoyed me, as it's one of the foulest expressions of bad taste that Iberoamerica has to offer (seriously, being from Brazil yourself, if you know even a bit of Spanish you'll know what I'm talking about). I hate it because not only I'm sometimes forced to listen to it as the brutes in my country listen to it, the fact that those that make and listen to that "music" brand themselves "latinos" or "hispanic" is a great insult to the culture of the Iberic peninsula and the Latin peoples, of which I'm part of.
Any implication that musicians like Lola Flores or Manolo Escobar belong to the same culture as buffoons like Calle 13 is outright insulting. -
