Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show Lineup Announced (2022)
- Thread starter Mikey Radio
- Start date
It took me a few watches to get the deeper meaning of the halftime show advertisement, which is actually pretty neat with the chess pieces 'aligning' with the stars. The music though, was a pain for my ears. Also the ad was like 90 seconds to long LOL
The get-off-my-lawn brigade has entered the chat. 😂
You mean everything isn't targeted to 65 year old white men?
Other suckage:
Pepsi
Rap
R&B (which will likely turn out to be Hip-Hop)
As it will be for the Rams.
65-year-old, cranky old men
Remember the great Budweiser commercials of decades past? I loved those BUT, because I considered Budweiser utter horse piss, I have yet to purchase one. Those ads might have made a mark in my mind but never in my stomach.
Target: 65 year old rappers...
Isn't Snoop Dogg around 50 years old? Apparently rap is starting to reach all ages!Target: 65 year old rappers...
Music is an art form ... but what constitutes 'music'? Someone pounding upon a wooden log with a piece of bamboo might be considered music in some cultures but unless it was Gene Krupa it would probably not be in American (Western?) culture.
Like visual art, musical art is in the eyes of the beholder. Those who support their favorites do so with their purchases. It is not required of them to support genres they don't like. The audience will usually determine what music rewards its creator and what does not.
In this specific case I will vote with my off button because (a) I don't consider it actual music and (b) I detest the life style which it represents. But before you accuse me of being a racist also consider I don't listen to Country songs about swilling down rotgut whiskey to resolve someone's failed relationship either.
Senor Edwardo posted earlier "That is my thought, based on the radio data that shows that their collective music genre is only preferred or used by a minority percentage of listeners."
I find it somewhat astounding that the advertising suits on Madison Avenue do not recognize the above but then Noo Yawk Sity isn't really Americana, is it?

But that is why most significant agency buys cover various music and radio formats because they know that there is limited duplication and lots of fragmentation.
Oh, we got the “suits,” “New York” and “not real America”—it’s like one square away from scoring Boomer Bingo! 😃
That's the perfect time to offer to go get more party snacks! "Okay, I'm off to the store, let me know when the third quarter begins!" 🤣
It took me a second to realize that was a prediction you was trying to sneak in there. And for the record, I agree. The Rams will go to the super bowl in their own city, much as Tampa Bay did last year. I would bet money on the Rams over-coming SF to get to Sofi stadium.
"Not real America" as one political party is fond of saying
I've been a San Francisco fan since high school but I don't think they can overcome the Rams. However, this playoff year has been quite the surprise so far so who knows?
To get back to the original topic, in the fragmented music of today it's almost impossible to find artists that appear to huge chunks of the population. And the few who do, like Taylor Swift or Adele, are probably dissuaded by the fact that artists get nothing to appear at the halftime show--and often ends up millions in the red.
