I think you just misunderstood what he said. Now you're both at each other's throat for literally no reason.
Exactly what's happening.

People need to chill at this point. Travis is a big name, but there will still be some sectors of the population who would not know him. I'm pretty sure LilNasX is bigger than Travis when it comes to the Western music crowd. Either way, the biggest takeaway is that gaming IS mainstream and encompasses a lot of cultures and subcultures.
I understood what he wrote. I've bolded the line I took issue with.
Chilllllllllll
Chilllllllllll
Someone like Ellen wouldn't even post about it and probably give it to a family member or something. At least Travis love games.
Idk how you assumed I'm saying ONLY minorities rock it. I'm saying it's black culture, because it is. I'm saying gaming side have a habit of NOT caring about people like this, which they don't. And yes, I've see enough fashion threads between both places to get an idea that people love Leon's coat. Clearly these comments are being misinterpreted by multiple people incorrectly on both ends.
Lil Nas X seems like a nice dude but what on earth.
You're saying something valid here but that comment is, frankly, ridiculous.
Enough! We agree.
Travis is popping across the spectrum. People on gaming side generally like to downplay Hip-Hop's impact on the greater American culture. The controller is actually a cake.
COOL.
I'M OUT TO PLAY COLD WAR.

Please refrain from referring to Western music crowd if that is your knowledge on it.

Someone ask him the important questions like vertical or horizontal, and how loud is that big boy.
What? So Old Town Road was not recognized by CMA? Maybe I should've phrased it as "Country music" instead of "western"
I'm a metalhead who primarily listens to hard rock / metal and progressive rock and even I know who Travis Scott is.
If it's not for the promotions with Reese's Puff cereal, the McDonald's promotion thing, or his Fortnite concert. You don't need to be a fan of his music to at least heard of him in some manner.
Although to be honest. In regards to hip hop groups in general. I am out of touch in that regard. I only ever paid attention to the New Jack Swing era of music like Boyz 2 Men, Jodeci, and New Edition. The only remotely rap group I paid attention to when I was younger was A Tribe Call Quest.

🤣
Shit, almost 2 million likes. This is some good advertisement.
Jealous? Because of a 500€ product.
Don't be silly.
And no, I just never heard of him over here.
Believe it or not, don't care.
This explains why I've never heard of him. Similar music taste but everything you mention is extremely US.
Personally not a fan of influencer/celebrity marketing /privilege but that's what the world is today
StockX prices going to soar to $1000 for a launch system
I wouldn't be surprised if celebrities get the console, nba players love gaming so expect them to stream and shit before November

Thank you for having common sense and general worldliness while still doing your thing.
What's up with ERA not being familiar with pop culture? it's not like back then when you had to be invested in it. If you spend even a little time with social media/Youtube or the fucking internet in general, you should know at least know the names of these people.
Like it happens every time a pop culture figure is mentioned here.

Does the PS5 launch games already available for him?
I assume he could only play PS4 games on it right now...

I don't get it, it takes one minute for a poster to look on Google and find out if they don't know who somebody is (and who knows, you might even end up being a fan!) rather than post their ignorance on a forum. There must be some cache attached in their mind that doesn't exist outside, like those who like to post 'first!'.
I love 80s electro/early 90s hip hop - it's about 30% of my vinyl collection, but posting how newer music just doesn't hold a candle to it is pretty gross and closed minded. I guess that's always happened though - from acoustic to electric, from keyboards to synths, from 4-track to sampling, always somebody whining that 'the old ways are better!' and that music should never evolve.
The good thing is, you can still listen to your old, favourite music and ignore everything that's new, but keep it to yourself, nobody cares.
Absolutely. I've been around "this" place for close to 20 years now, maybe more. I'm not sure.
damn, you're so cool, what a cool guy that just does not care about anything
Probably already has one. Who do you think did Demon's Souls 3-2 boss theme?
Heard it comes with a free copy of Maneater to test it with.
I said I don't care if he believes me.
Understanding context is hard this days, I know.
lol this whole thread is full of questionable takes.
only minorities listen to travis Scott? They are selling a console not to just the gamers here but everyone. Part of that is hitting each part of the gamer spectrum which yes, even includes people who might be fans of one of the most popular musical artists.
This was already clarified. In no way am I saying only minorities listen to Travis Scott. I don't even understand how people can come to that conclusion when I never specifically mentioned they do. I'm simply saying people a part of the culture enjoy seeing that culture being represented. And that same culture which I've been talking about in this thread is continually downplayed on gaming side (which I also said). No shit more than minorities listen to Travis Scott, he's in goddamn Fortnite, the biggest game in the world. Lmao.
