Here at the Sexist, we’re always on the lookout for popular songs that don’t condone rape. Finally: Introducing Rap Against Rape, an (I’m guessing) early-90’s group of white dudes that performed their titular activity in order to raise funds for rape crisis centers. But Rap Against Rape’s anti-rape activism is, perhaps, exceeded by its fervor for embodying early 90’s stereotypes; follow along with my checklist as you watch “What Did I Do Wrong”:
Early 90’s White Dude Stereotype Checklist:
___ Mom jeans on a dude
___ Guy channeling Falco
___ Guest lady channeling Cyndi Lauper
___ Backup dancers channeling Boy George
___ T-shirt (tucked in)
___ Mustache (unironic, collect them all!)
___ Mullet (curly)
___ Sunglasses (indoors)
___ Earnestness
___ White socks
___ Halter tops
___ Rented prom fedora
___ White guys clapping
___ “rap”
___ Neon
___ Bad VHS copy
Add a few gold chains and a Golden Labrador Retriever, and that covers pretty much all of the 90’s, no?
This isn't a paywall.
