Your rap was fabulous!! I'm 44, so this isn't coming from another 20-something. There's nothing wrong with rap when the lyrics are positive, and yours are great. You brought a genuine gift of creativity from your generation, and obviously a lot of people there "got it" and enjoyed it. You ARE having an impact -- here in the U.S., we hear on the news about how the youth delegation is so large and is making a real difference. Please keep it up, we're depending on you and supporting you back here with our vigils, sending info out to our email and Facebook lists. You ROCK and don't let some old curmudgeon like Alex A let you ever forget it!! Youth, Do not be discouraged by curmudgeon Alex A’s negative comment! Your rap was fabulous!!

I cannot think of a messaging vehicle more damaging to your goals than to present it this way. Rapping your message will only preach to the converted, or the permanently disinterested. Think! Who are you trying to reach?! Who are you trying to influence? Do you think rapping at them will make your message more persuasive? It will not. It will, conversely, make your message less legitimate, and completely unserious. This is lunacy. It is very disheartening to see vital climate action pleaded for in this way. Very, very damaging to our cause. In the future, please, if you must rap, rap nothing at all. Or, better yet, rap about your climate change skepticism, as the people we need to convert want nothing less than to be associated with rap music and style. Please stop with the rap!
