We just had that convo last week. See the sidebar and then read the pinned "MEA CULPA" post if you like. I'm also working on an updated sidebar that defines things in a little bit clearer terms, and I'll run it past the community soon for feedback.
This particular post (and song) is shared because it's Euro artistry, and because I also find the message surprisingly timely. I don't intend to stray from GN's and BD's very often, but I recognise that many things have overlap in the arts & media, and I don't mind occasionally acknowledging that with an example or two.
Meanwhile, do feel free to share the kind of material you like, here.
Cheers!
