Couple of observations
Kneecap have had 39million streams on Spotify since their set and 12 million for Bob Vylan - There truly is no such thing as bad publicity and everytime they appear in the news, on twitter, in football forums or other media it is more money and exposure for them - NWA worked this out with songs about killing cops 30+ years ago - Kim by Eminem is about Killing his Mum - Boy Named Sue By Johnny Cash is about wanting to kill his dad - Bang bang maxwell by the Beatles didn't have people smashing in skulls with silver hammers
It is pearl clutching and the Media fall for it every time.
This wasn't beamed onto everyone's telly - You have to log into the iplayer, search for it, select it and agree to the offensive language warning - It is a choice to have watched it or not and if you didn't then so what do you care?
Finally - While the focus is on some stupid chants by obscure music artists are dominating the headlines - Suddenly no one is talking about the Palestinian village that was burned to ashes yesterday or the children starving to death.
Punk, Rock, Country, Hip Hop has always had an edge to it - These lot have gone too far but it isn't as dramatic as we are being led to believe.
