I Felt the Same Way About Wham!

In an otherwise banal editorial decrying sexism and fantasy in rap lyrics, Daily Emerald author Natasha Martin concludes with this mind-blowing sentence:
If people continue to listen to and use this music carelessly, I'm frightened that future generations will entirely wipe out real meaning in music.

the USA should retain the right to act in a preemptive (and nuclear) fashion whenever the "real meaning" of ANYthing is put in jeopardy.

"Right about now NWA court is in full effect.
Judge Dre presiding in the case of NWA versus the police department.
Prosecuting attourneys are MC Ren Ice Cube and Eazy muthafuckin E.
Order order order. Ice Cube take the muthafuckin stand.
Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth
and nothin but the truth so help your black ass?

Why don't you tell everybody what the fuck you gotta say?

Fuck tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell"

Yours for real meaning,
AP

Somehow I feel like when the phrase is applied to the Emerald, "banal editorial" is pretty much redundant.

Isn't there an awesomely emerald tag? Or does this not qualify as "awesomely"?
