The 1975's Matt Healy demands a 'lil meaning' from all the 'lil rappers' of trap

The 1975 frontman Matt Healy says he considers trap to be 'this generation's punk' but was not happy with the message coming out of the subculture
UPDATED DEC 7, 2018

After dropping their third album 'A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationship', The 1975 have embarked on a promotional gig with frontman Matty Healy's big mouth as their prime weapon. Their meta videos come a close second.

Healy recently garnered headlines and courted controversy with his comment that rock music has been purged of mysogyny while hip-hop is yet to shrug off that cross. This time, he laid into all the "lil rappers" of trap and demanded a "a lil meaning" from them.

Talking to RadioX about the trap-tinged track 'I like America and America likes me' from the musical rabbithole of an album (his homage to the "now, now, now, right now... musically"), Healy said he considered trap as this generation's punk but was not happy with the message coming out of that subculture.
