May 4, 20223 yr comment_564090 Hip Hop just isn't nearly as popular in Canada as it is in the USA, but I agree with Jackson...time to put a little edge into our theme music. The Reklaws traditional audience are the ones that currently make up a lot of the existing CFL fan base, and while there is nothing wrong with the CFL playing to it's traditional audience it doesn't help it grow.

Non Canadian and Hip Hop?? Sorry, but you're in Canada.... No part of that flies. What a weird comment lol millions upon millions of Canadians love hip-hop music, we don’t need a bunch of old fogies who like to polka deciding what the theme song for a league trying to build a younger fanbase is
May 4, 20223 yr comment_564093 Also, do we need to listen to one song ad nauseum? Could we not mix it up and have various genres? Diversity is Strength, guys.
May 4, 20223 yr comment_564094 The demo they want... Those young 20somethings who drink Twisted Tea and listen to Pop Country is MASSIVE..... it's the number one FM radio station in every market outside of Toronto/Van/Mtl.... They've done their research (all antivaxxer jokes aside) and they know where the money is.
May 4, 20223 yr comment_564104 Outside of Toronto/Van/Mtl, shouldn't we be trying to appeal to those markets?
May 4, 20223 yr Author comment_564106 Are we debating who should perform the opening theme song to TSNs Friday Night broadcast?
May 4, 20223 yr comment_564109 I'm not saying it has to be Pop Country (lord knows that's the bane of my existence) but there have to be some young rockers that dine suck...?? Like the Sheepdogs but younger? That screams Canada and the CFL to me...

Go ask a young kid what their favorite radio station is. I guarantee they say it's a spotify play list or something like it.

All those radio stations are programmed largely based on Spotify streams and TikTok followers. So there's actually a direct connection to what the next generation is viewing and listening to.

It's just the most pushed. Hip hop etc is far more popular among kids/young adults. I mean they like country, but hip hop has been the leading culture maker for decades now. Which is why you see more and more country songs incorporating hip hop. Edited May 4, 20223 yr by Bigblue204
May 4, 20223 yr comment_564115 NOT seeing that pop country as the major genre of choice with young canadian kids..nope....or with 40 and up crowd Go in any locker room in Canada and what are the athletes blaring...rap/hip hop and hard rock.... 1 minute ago, Bigblue204 said: ok but again, that doesn't translate to country being the most listen to genre.

Guys in the locker room are already at the games - we're talking about the audience. A bunch of old guys debating what's "with it" with kids is hilarious, btw. Could it be that young people enjoy different genres in the same way that we all enjoy different types of music?

I agree with whoever said let's get a bit of diversity happening and attract them all. All ages, all genres.
