Gen Z is trying to cancel Eminem and Millennials aren't happy about it

- Libellés :



Certain members of Generation Z are seemingly attempting to initiate a cancellation of Eminem, much to the dissatisfaction of Millennials.

The conflict between Gen Z and Millennials seems to have a significant history.

Gen Z individuals appear to harbor considerable discontent towards the habits of Millennials, ranging from their excessive and cringeworthy usage of emojis, to their infatuation with skinny jeans and peplum tops.
Moreover, Millennials are not lacking in grievances either. They swiftly become agitated by Gen Z's relaxed approach to the workplace and their compulsion to engage in debates over even the most inconsequential matters. Consequently, given their distinct perspectives on life, it is unsurprising that tension arises between these two groups.
However, the situation appears to have escalated after certain members of Generation Z made attempts to cancel Eminem.

"Why?" you may inquire.

Well, it seems that the younger generation takes issue with the lyrics chosen by the 50-year-old rapper, which is not surprising considering his consistent themes of violence and anguish, particularly when it comes to his ex-wife.

Take, for instance, his 1999 hit 'Kim'.

In this song, he indulges in a fantasy of attacking his now-former spouse, Kim Mathers, and involves his daughter in disposing of the body.

The lyrics are undeniably callous, to say the least, and that might even be an understatement.

"You can't run from me, Kim! It's just us, nobody else! / You're only making this harder on yourself! / Ha-ha, got ya! Go ahead, yell! / Here, I'll scream with you! 'Ah, somebody help!'" he raps. "Don't you get it, b****? No one can hear you! / Now shut the f*** up and get what's coming to you! / You were supposed to love me! / Now bleed, b****, bleed! Bleed, b****, bleed! Bleed!"

This depiction of violence against women is also evident in his other popular songs.

Despite its former status as a number one hit, 'Love The Way You Lie' received criticism for its portrayal of misogyny.


The lyric "If she ever tries to f****** leave again / I'mma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire" is undoubtedly extreme, but numerous supporters of the Grammy-award-winning artist have justified it as a form of artistic expression.

However, it should come as no surprise that Gen Z takes issue with it. After all, the pursuit of "justice" appears to be a fundamental value for them.

Millennials, on the other hand, were not going to remain silent. They rallied in large numbers to defend their idol, channeling the star's essence in their response.

One TikTok user, Lauren Oakley, took to the platform to call out Gen Z in a passionate (and admittedly cringeworthy) diss track, labeling them as "sensitive."


"Now pay attention, Gen Z," she begins. "Because I've reached my limit. This whole 'cancel culture,' you're all so easily offended."

She continued, "Initially, I brushed it off, but now you've crossed the line by targeting a close friend of mine. You want to cancel Eminem because he's too aggressive and harsh? Are your feelings hurt? Do you wish his lyrics were cleaner?"

Oakley delivered a few more rhymes before concluding, "...It's disheartening to think that a generation that claims to be open-minded cannot appreciate this and move on from the past."

Hmm. Even if you cringe in second-hand embarrassment, you have to acknowledge her effort - she gave it her all.

And another TikToker followed suit, passionately rapping her heart out for her idol.

Others also jumped to the star's defense, but in a less theatrical form:
