What is “Male Manipulator Music”? Just a Trend or Harmful?

What is the social media meme of “Male Manipulator Music”?

The idea of male manipulator music comes from typical genres or bands that a particular archetype of a man listens to, originating as a meme in twitter in 2020. It has since created a negative image about fans of particular bands and claiming them as “red flags”. But is it just for fun or is it real?

Eleanor Godley spoke with producer Delaney Carter about this fad.
