    you as a non spanish person in a non spanish country can't force change to someone else's language

    it's the same as some white person making up a korean word that's not korean

    there are rules to language breh

    you can argue that Beyonce's status was up based on her looks not her vocals

    I mean I don't remember what the 3rd member of Destiny's child looked like

    Who said I am? You're going after AOC, not me.

    Are you saying AOC is not hispanic?

    she didn't make up that word, but she ran with it cause it's a hit with the woke gringos

    let's say I made up a word called NoncontributerX
    they shouldn't put that in the dictionary

    I did that to mock cheap suckers

    LatinX was made to mock Latin culture and language because it's language has genders like French

    nobody made up FrenchX

    Are you Hispanic? No? You just told me that it should be up to them about which words they want to use and if so then you should get out of their business and let them have that discussion.

    I agree, Janet's Control album is off the charts. Really I think Destiny's Child are a lot better than Beyonce's solp

    Are you Hispanic?

    Seems like your issue is with AOC, not me, but according to you, she has more weight on this topic than you do.

    Rhianna has much better songs than Beyonce as a solo artist.

    It's like how long is Beyonce worship gonna last. I agree I think of her Destiny's Child songs when I think of her

    Did you invent Spanish? Is this like you telling Beyonce what words she can and cannot use in her songs?

    You said that since I wasn't hispanic, I shouldn't be able to tell hispanic people what words they can and cannot use. Fair enough. AOC is Hispanic. You are not. Therefore, using your own rules, you can't tell her what words she can and cannot use.

    I hope we keep these same rules when it comes to black culture. I am black. You are not. So my opinion on these matters > yours.

    you can make up all the words you want in spanish, this won't mean that people will understand the made up words you made up
    @JayGoogle
    @MexAmercnMoose

    I should back off Beyonce being arguably the biggest pop star ever. We live in the Taylor Swift world. It's just Swift is more than pop.

    Also I'm separating pop from R&B but I don't consider R&B a sub category of pop.

    I do think Madonna was really is in a league of her own as influence on fans and other artists. Janet Jackson at one point was also definitely on top of pop music

    Not listening to pop music on a regular and googling female pop stars, I didn't consider Mariah Carey or Lady Gaga. Mariah Carey's voice is so awesome I don't like calling her pop, also Whitney Houston who was off the charts when she started. But just after the Google I'll back off Beyonce . I'm really caught up in the madness, I just think her fans are over the top, it influences me saying that

    Being a hip hop head listening to rap when it took hold as a formidable genre of music, the best rapper ever has always been part of the essence of hip hop. It's a braggadocios genre, before Gangsta, that is what all rappers rapped about, being the best rapper. Other genre's of music aren't like that. There are stars and mega stars but no debating who was/is the best

    Quite amazing you don't realize how much you've contradicted yourself in like one page. That is one true skill to just make up stuff on the fly and not care at all if you've literally contradicted your point a post ago.

    One moment you're talking about how slang works and then the next you're going on about how made up words are bad, proving you probably shouldn't be giving anyone lectures about how language works.

    AOC is a gringa. Latinx is a term gringos and gringas made up to label other gringos and gringas who are LGBT and come from some Latino lineage. The people of Latin American countries will never refer to each other as latinx because that isn't Spanish, the language spoken in those countries.
