To pop? The demographics of this board skew Millennial and older. Our window as pop consumers has passed, and there aren't many Millennial acts left to push for nostalgia purposes. Usher was the finale of this window, pretty much, with the Dre show 2 years prior being the beginning of the end. It's not a shocking statement to say that a demographic of 35-55 year old men who don't typically live in major cultural hubs are ignorant to what's popular with broccoli heads.



Don’t play dumb.


It’s clear that since jayz has taken over the show has gone 100% urban.

As far as the “you don’t know what’s popular” comment it ain’t hard. Just look at the charts. they aren’t picking based off of record sales or hits because year end charts have country artists and songs at or above these artists

Usher? The elderly versions of Snoop and Dr. Dre? Rihanna? The Weekend? Shakira/Jlo?

You're stretching.

That's a lot of pop and Millennial nostalgia harvesting

Phenomenal show.

Yep.


Just like the decade before was filled with Boomer and Gen X harvesting.

The day we get a country show for the SB is the day I become a “I’m not watching this” poster.

Those absolutely would all be considered urban except Shakira and j lo.


Did some have crossover appeal ie usher and snoop absolutely but they are 100% urban music.


Trying to say usher isn’t an r&b artist but a pop artist (which is absolutely urban) would be like trying to say Garth brooks is a pop artist.

Yeah and as I said, there isn't really much left for Millennials.

What major pop act from 95-2010 (or so) hasn't made a Halftime show?

Akon?

If you are declaring the pop genre "urban" then yes, an event dominated by pop acts will typically be "urban"

That would also apply to bro country, as it's a form of pop. Austin and Nashville are very urban.

I mean...he was.

Jelly Roll is also pop. Just a country version of it.

Speaking of millennial harvesting though: I could get behind Oasis or Matchbox 20 (because I know we won't get 311 and Bush), or a Hootie and the Blowfish revival.


Hell, give me a No Limit showcase. I'll get behind that.


Never got the Jimmy Buffett halftime show that the world deserved
