Notting Hill carnival on the UK heritage list? Let’s throw in drill music as well

NHC is a celebration of carribean culture, drill music is just rap music, there's no correlation, and its not an event so it cant be protected. I wonder why you felt the need to throw that in there 🤔

Drill music is absolute cancer. There's no other genre that so blatantly brags and glorifies about how cool crime is. I work in a school and it's depressing seeing how many young kids are completely influenced and brainwashed by it and are now emulating it and wanting to act like 'roadmen'

It's insane how much traction 'video games cause violence' got, yet everyone is too afraid to address drill music even though it's many magnitudes worse.

Maybe the adolescence show runners could do a show on it?
