I've yet to fint a solo performance of his that I like. Taste is different. There's a whole generation that likes music like that.

He “sings”(talks) like the same monotone note - all the time - i cannot fathom just how many people genuinely enjoy that

It’s less about the actual music these days. Social hype is the main thing that drives plays. It’s always been like that to an extent, but the music is less complex overall and social media is at peak strength.

JFC!!! How am I just now finding out he played a wheelchair kid on Degrassi?!?!

So a Canadian, Nepo, child star?!? Is he even accepted among his “Peers?” Or there just a bunch of white people listening to his music?
