    Please ask Rammstein to use English more often. (this is a sarcastic joke, please tell them I love them)

      You know, this actually plays IN FAVOUR of my argument and shows that you know fuck all about Rammstein. When Rammstein made a song critical of US culture, they actually DID partiallly sing in English!

      -> Amerika “We’re all living in America! Amerika, ist wunderbar!” “This is not a love song This is not a love song I don’t sing my mother tongue No, this is not a love song”

      You guys don’t know shit and yet you criticize me. And the absurd thing is that I’m not even criticizing Bad Bunny, but am in favour of his message.

        “We all live in America” is them satirizing how fucked up America is, in a “Yeah, sure, we’re ALL Americans, F*ck you” sort of way.

        I feel like you’re angry for the sake of being angry, but you do what you’ve gotta do, bub.

          I know they’re satirizing it. But that was the point, they’re still singing part about the song in English so that English speakers still understand part of it. That makes the art more powerful in my opinion.
