The only bad music out there is the overly auto-tuned one-song "hit" garbage that is being constantly shitted out by the mainstream record companies, where have the likes of Interpol with TotBL gone? | ||

Hiphop is perfect for my lyrical fetish =) to "ok let me sum up the content of all the hip hop/rap songs I have heard recently: 1) partying. 2) alcohol 3) sex 4) booty There are a few exceptions but that is pretty much it." Wow, you listen to awful rap then hahah, don't listen to the radio stuff by the way. | ||

It is almost exclusively in standard 4/4, little syncopation, etc. I am sure someone could dig up an exception or two, I am speaking generalities here. Assessing hip-hop music by its beats is clearly missing the point and purpose of the genre. The lyrics and voice are 95% of a hip-hop track. The voice is the beat. You may as well criticise the font used by a poet. Maybe go listen to the various instrumental genres derived from or that use a mix of hip-hop, if you want to be a fancy pants an assess track construction. | ||

The Beatles wrote an absurdly wide variety of songs, but they're just rock. Rock is rock, metal is metal. Calling each band a different genre doesn't justify your taste. How much have you listened to metal, really? These "dumb" variations have very different instruments, very different tones and just sound flat out different, not to mention they're mixed with different genres at all; you sound like you're not qualified to judge that. | ||

regarding rap, i think the gangster rap days are dying out (thank God!), and now its all about the hyphy shit (ecstacy, party, etc), but I think that will die off as well | ||

"Music from Europe is better than music in the US" (Or vice versa) "Mainstream music is crap." "You just haven't listened to a good example of (insert genre). Go listen to (insert obscure artist who hardly represents the genre) "Old music is better than the crap they're releasing today." "Listeners of X are (insert stereotype here)" "This music takes more skill than that." (Ignoring the fact that the greatest songs are often the simplest) "I'm more qualified than most others to speak on the issue because I listen to both genres. (Proceed to name a handful of obscure artists from each genre that pop up on your Google search, but you never actually listen to.) Simply put, the reason hip hop is more popular than metal is because more people prefer to listen to it. More people can relate with the culture, artists and lyrics. It's not about diversity, skill or complexity. It's about being able to reach people in their comfort zone. | ||
