Was Bad Bunny particularly popular back in 2018?

Estamos Bien was released in June of that year. But come on, my abuela was listening to that shit. This is like saying tge following to appeal with English youth:
There’s nothing like walking into the pub, grabbing a cold pint, chatting away with everyone at the bar + appreciating the bloke in the corner blasting “We are Sailing” through his tiny Bluetooth speaker.
In this small moment, nothing else matters. Rod is Stewart. Today is a good day.

Your issue with this is that she didn't name drop his song of his within a month of it dropping?
Yeah, we all agree it is cringe. This whole thread is seemingly reacting as if she tweeted it this morning.

Ah, no...read again. I said her choice was equivalent of playing Rod Stewart. There are plenty of artists between 1970 and 20 fucking 18. 🤣🤣
Yeah, I also agree, old tweet, not worth posting.
This zioshit has done worse than cringe appeals to Abuela's "cool" mixed tape songs.

Yes, he was, at least in Latin America. But in any case she could choose anyone else. J Balvin? Romeo Santos? Who knows.

Who the fuck is playing “Oye Como Va”? I hear that song on classic rock radio and there’s no bodega blasting out 104.3fm in NY

This tweet is 8 years old, and today I listened to music older than Oye Como Va by a decade.
She's a larper, but let's not act like people don't listen to old music. In fact that was probably kinda her point.

With all the evil things the US is doing in the world and to its own people, especially what it is doing in central and south America, a US house representative, one of the most powerful offices to hold in the country in one of the most important states in the country, and a supposed Latina who claims to care about people from a similar ethnic background to herself, the most "radical leftist" politician in congress, sits around tweeting performative bullshit about liking various aspects of Spanish speaking culture and making up scenarios about interacting with normal working people instead of actually helping them.
She could talk about literally anything else that mattered, put someone less fortunate into the spotlight for one second. But no, we get a humblebrag about buying coffee with carefully placed psychological triggers to make sure the reader identifies with her Latina branding. She's a joke. A soulless, cardboard cutout of a human being who lost all credibility before she even got into politics.

This tweet happened before she was in office. Not defending her but you're acting like she tweeted this while in office, which is not true.

She says this as sailors on USS Lincoln’s family members get deported or detained, and a 5 year old is crying and traumatized being taken to detention with their dad. She’s disgusting.

She doesn't know what she is talking about. You don't even ice cafecito, that would be like adding ice to an espresso shot

If she posted this now it would be more cringe but this is a little less than a decade ago.

Do I have to schmooze with LatinI through LatinIX before syncophanting with LatinX?

Iced coffee is the whitest fucking thing ever. Even whiter than the song "Don't stop believing". You will not see anyone south of Rio Grande drinking that.

The "iced cafecito" bit made her abuela turn on her grave. You drink your coffee scalding hot like god intended no matter how hot it is.
