Hello, welcome to Pop Culture Rewind.

Hi.

Hi, Desi.

What do you have for us?

Well, today we're going to be talking about the 165 songs that were supposedly banned after 9-11.

Nice.

So for all of us who lived through 9-11 and the aftermath, we all remember that was a very strange time.

It was a crazy time. I can't even imagine how much crazier it would have been had we had social media.

Also, I was thinking, like, people are in their 20s who don't remember 9-11 that's crazy that is

crazy to me it's so crazy like full-on adults don't remember 9-11 I know I know I can't believe how

long ago it was and yeah just going back to what a crazy time it was, if you said anything remotely anti-American during that time, you became like an enemy.

Right.

Like people got really mad.

Yes.

So people were obviously very shaken by what happened.

2,97 people died in that initial attack.

Obviously, a lot of first responders have died since then of things caused that day.

The nation was really traumatized, and this allowed the powers to be to really do some

un-American shit in the name of stopping terrorism.

The people who bemoan cancel culture now were all about it then, as you mentioned, and they

still are, technically.

Just look at the Charlie Kirk incident a few months ago.
