Eminem responds to Gen Zers who want him canceled

The big kerfuffle in the Cancel Movement last week erupted when Gen Zers (b. 1997-2002) learned of the existence of Eminem and found some of his lyrics…problematic. Some of them are demanding Em’s cancelation.

Piffle, he says. “They’ve been trying to cancel me for decades.” And, of course, he responded the best way he knows how. This track from Music to Be Murdered By6–Side B ticks the appropriate boxes. I quote: “I won’t stop even when my hair turns grey (I’m tone-deaf) / ‘Cause they won’t stop until they cancel me.”

  • Was this article written by a high school student? No info to back up any claims. They didn’t include any real evidence of anyone trying to cancel Eminem, it’s probably just the same riffraff from 15 years ago being reiterated. Basically, this is poorly written anti-young people propaganda, or just someone trying to cancel gen z. Ironic.

    • Um, did you bother following the link in the story? It provides all the info for the cancelation demands. Or did they not teach you that in high school?
