what

I get not liking the hip hop/rap/pop style but you are objectively wrong, Lin Manuel Miranda's lyrics are absolutely extraordinary. They are smart as fuck and the rhymes are fucking mind-blowing.

Kind of sounds like you missed the point, too. It wasn't meant to be a documentary, it was meant to be a modern adaptation that showcases what America looks and sounds like now. That's not a "tumblr" message, that's a modern adaptation like any modern adaptation.

The lyrics *are* good but the music is forgettable. I also listened to it on Spotify and I didn't find myself humming along to any of it.

I can agree that the music is to taste - I don't find a lot of it super exciting, though I think there are a handful of really catchy fun songs. But the lyrics are masterfully put together.

[(Anonymous)]

That's completely subjective. I get these songs stuck in my head all the time.

Is there a word for the inversion of effort justification? Low investment leading to low benefit?

"It wasn't meant to be a documentary, it was meant to be a modern adaptation that showcases what America looks and sounds like now."

Silly you, expecting people to grasp that concept applied to history when they can't even grasp modernized adaptations of freakin' Sherlock Holmes.

That really is a tougher concept for some people than I ever would have expected. I remember when my mom started watching Elementary and kept wondering if Sherlock was insane and why everyone was playing along with him.

Actually, that's a pretty good description of the first season.

This. Rap and hip hop are not genres I naturally gravitate towards (with some exceptions), but the lyrics in Hamilton are incredibly well-crafted and show real artistry. I'm not saying everyone needs to think that it's the greatest musical ever, but I do think that if the lyrics had been presented as poems to be read aloud like Shakespearean dialouge many of the people who claim not to like it would give it a better chance (save for some of the modern dialogue in there).

And for that matter, despite it not being my genre, I do enjoy the music as well (admittedly, musically, my favorite songs are King George's and the jazzier ones like What'd I Miss and The Room Where it Happened, but that's a personal preference).

What song has your fave lyrics? For me, Hurricane's lyrics blow me away.

Ooh, ooh, Guns and Ships for me! But I'm a sucker for uber-fast stuff.

Aka HOW DARE YOU DISLIKE SOMETHING I LIKE!!!

And no, it's not a Tumblr message but it sure as hell feels like an SJW's wet dream. Those people think every king of England was a majestic ebony god, there were native Americans in Africa or all Vikings were Japanese and other pathetically bad history. Even if Miranda didn't mean it like that, it's still something a tumblrina would have written in her diary of anger.
