LetterLiker might also be a millennial who grew up in the time when Eminem was the poster boy for that type of person. “I like Eminem because he doesn’t rap about bitches and money. He raps about life,” was what every white Eminem fan said back in the day
this is correct. Time has probably passed me by AND purpleworm’s point is a good one BUT I maintain that Em holds a higher post in the Cracker Music Pantheon than Lin-Manuel Miranda.
I know and I understood your point. I was just saying that the OP probably isn’t as tapped in and was culturally trapped in that era where Eminem was the only person that applied to for the majority of people.
The fact that it can be applied to multiple people shows how much things have changed. Would Post Malone fit in that category too?
Some people like Post Malone. I can’t imagine there being a critical mass of people who say Posty is their favorite artist.
I also thinks Posty appeals more to people who want to like black culture (but don’t really) than people who don’t like black culture (but think they own it) than Eminem and LMM.

People still say that now and it’s a real type of person, but my point is that the given description applies to more people than just that.
