That's a sign she made up the story for the sole purpose of rage bait. I've never heard of her until now, but from the comments here she has a history of doing this on X/Twitter.

Hypercentre works best for what you describe. Neither downtown nor CBD encompasses everything you'd find in a city's core.

They do in Portland, where it rains a lot. They also cycle in Montreal, where there is considerable snow and subfreezing temps 4-5 months each year.

One is aesthetically pleasing and fits in with its city, the other is a concrete eyesore that required an entire Hispanic community to be cleared out before it was built.

It ties into a deeper issue: the act we're now a quarter of the way through the 21st century and still desperately clinging on to styles 50 years old or more, with no curiosity as to what else could be made.

I'd say rap/hip-hop is just experiencing what rock has had to deal with since 2000 - a genre that's been around so long it's both taken for granted and divided into many sub genres, many of which are decidedly anti-commerical by design, as you noted.

They don't care. You need to be far more aggressive if we're ever going to get the files released.

That could be the basis of an unusual dystopia novel: society in general decides to go backwards and permanently freeze all culture and tech to a time 50+ years ago, only to find it doesn't create the paradise they thought it would.

Anyone who was born, raised, and lived in Seattle since the Mariners were formed aren't surprised the story ended this way.
