I do think joy is musically discredited though. What versions talking about feels more like a political cultural thing outside of the actual consumption of music. Black music has been pretty wallowing and sad for awhile.
I'm not sure what popular queer music is but someone like Charlie xcx is even fairly contemplative for 'dance' music

skepta is a reminder that uk music is the worst in the world by far. easily the worst music country. uk rap, uk urban, worst thing to ever exist. so shameful.
Skepta's trying the falsetto thing now, doesn't really work for him.

Outside of music for babies
Compare grime and drill
Grime very angry, aggressive etc but still has a sense of joy to it
Drill very humourless bleak personality erased like faces by ski masks
