seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like looksmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?

The objective answer (if such a thing exists) is probably Dr. Dre.

My personal answer is Prince Paul or RZA.

Honestly, Tom Morello, Trent Reznor, and Dave Grohl need to get it together and get goddamn Devo in the Hall already, and Billie Joe Armstrong needs to lobby harder for The Replacements.

I've been writing about this, and I think the long answer for why these guys were interrogating masculinity is a reaction to the 80s and high-profile events like Tailhook, Anita Hill, etc.

And the short answer is that every worthwhile rock singer wanted to impress Michael Stipe and Ian MacKaye.
