Can you strongly disagree with a song's subject matter and still enjoy it?

    A few of my favorite songs are about dating underage girls, overdosing on xans, love lyrics directed towards a male, my mind is probably like wtf but my ears love it

    It's entertainment. It's like watching a movie about gangsters. Actual gangsters are horrible people who would harm you without much provocation. But it's cool to watch Goodfellas, Scarface, etc.

    Of course

    I mean how many rappers get into jail and are proud of it? Or brag about having guns, shooting people, disrespecting women?

    They're losers but as long as I like their music I dont care about the subject (to an extent)

    What if it's like watching a documentary promoting false information albeit a creative and meticulously crafted documentary?
