Kind of gay? I wanted to say. Do you have any notion how many homosexuals sweated their ass off on the dance floor to make this soaring bit of derivative trash possible? How many died of AIDS, OD'd, or went broke on the way to that girl from Texas cutting a deal...Adam Haslett
About This Quote
Justin Timberlake is often criticized for his lack of diversity in his music. One blogger wrote, “I am so full of rage right now after listening to this song. Justin Timberlake has become the worst kind of white man in the worst way possible,” while another blogger called him “the worst kind of white man imaginable.” Several years ago, at the height of his pop-star popularity, Timberlake received criticism for his lack of diversity in his music. His then-girlfriend Jessica Biel also received criticism for becoming involved with a white man.
The lyrics to "SexyBack" are an example of Timberlake's fashion sense when he was dating Biel. Some have gone so far as to call the track "gay" when it is actually about sex.
