# Parody Rap Endorsements The Mitt Romney Music Video Endorses the Challenger's Economic Visions By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-09-06 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitt-romney-music-video References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedpolitics/if-mitt-romney-were-a-rapper) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KTjkcbd2UQ0) The Mitt Romney Music Video by Lukerative both seems to endorse and challenge Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. Playing on the self-given nickname R-Money (Romney spelt his name backwards once upon a time to glorious results), the [rap video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paparap) goes over the statements made by Romney on his economic plans and health care advances (or lack thereof). While the rapper is definitively anti-Obama, he has taken on a trend that was started by Obama fans -- [fan-created music videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/working-for-the-weekend). Whether the rapper is in support of the [Republican](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusemints-election-collection) Presidential nominee, parodying him for a good time, or neither in support of either he or President Obama remains unclear. However, the hilarious Mitt Romney Music Video is a joy for Republicans and Democrats alike (depending on your interpretation). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Political Parody Videos:** Opportunity for influencers and content creators to create parody videos that challenge and endorse political figures. - **Fan-created Music Videos:** Rise of fan-created music videos as a platform for expressing political views and opinions. - **Satirical Commentary:** Increasing popularity of satirical commentary through rap videos that critique politicians and their policies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry can leverage the popularity of political parody videos to engage audiences and generate content. - **Social Media:** Social media platforms can serve as a powerful medium for sharing and promoting fan-created political music videos. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can tap into the trend of satirical commentary rap videos to create viral campaigns with political undertones. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday Diss Tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler.md) - [Bouillon-Based Food Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-food-remix.md) - [Pop Culture Presidency Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brat.md) - [Epic Rapper-Backed Soda Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-your-gameday-epic.md) - [Catchy Basked Pasta Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noodles-cos-chicken-parmesan.md) - [Motion-Powered Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motionpowered-song.md) - [TikTok Rap Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oi-tiktok.md) - [Rap-Themed Cider Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straight-outta-crumpton.md) - [Mom-Inspired Rap Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mamarap.md)
