And synthesizers take a lot of creativity to use. Example? La Roux | ||

Kids usually prefer to hear songs about feelings and emotions so they can connect with the music and have a sense of identity in themselves for some lack of identity in a stable home/academic career/etc etc. With such a huge divorce rate in America it makes sense that the youth turn to computer generated music which centralizes around how people feel. Personally Metal 4 lief. Genres is so great it allowed me to finally appreciate classical music and the musician themselves. I cant understand why people cry about not being able to hear growling, let it be a musical instrument, view it as a guitar, its about the skill and creativity not trying to artificially connect with the song. | ||

I'll give you a tiny example: Listen to this and if you by chance don't like or think it isn't quality music then I can say with all my heart that there is no hope for you. the main problem with orchestra music is that it is best enjoyed live and not suited for digital distribution (fail herz range) I have no problem with hiphop in principle, I can listen to some songs by eminem for example and french rap is leagues ahead of american, however I cannot understand people listening to things like akon or 50cent | ||

Generally speaking (which is always bad) People identify with the attitude behind the lyrics more easily nowadays. Attitude and message is a big part of the appeal of both genres (rap and metal) - also check out great rap & metal outfits  . There will always be valueable artists in all genres. Also to the op - metal is very stagnant at the moment and kind of repeats the same themes. The fresh thing with hip hop (even bad pop stuff) is that themes seem current because its so lyrical and supports a narative : even when its shallow - also because it relies so heavy on sampling - it affords taking stuff from other genres to keep itself healthy - there's a lot more to this but ... delving into it is dangerous subjective stuff -that only leads to flames. @Jameser - french hip hop is more geeky the people in it are more geeky and therefore more aware of music, history, message - i love it btw; | ||

I play guitar, mostly play heavy shit, like doom, death, sludge, and black metal, but I can still appreciate good, talented hip hop. Don't close your mind so much and limit yourself to only one genre of music. Listening to good hip hop has changed my perspective on all music. If you only listen to metal, you are really missing out on some great music. Go out and listen to some other genres for a change. Download some jazz, get some hip hop, listen to some dub step or drum and bass. Different styles of music serve different purposes. Hip hop is great for chilling out too. Electronic music is perfect for gaming, or really anything that requires focus. Metal is nice when you are driving or doing something where you can focus more on the music. Don't think metal is the only genre of music that has talent. While there is quite a bit of talent in metal music, many other styles of music have artists that are just as talented. Go download Deltron 3030 and you will see what I mean. | ||

Pop and rap and such is very bland usually so its an easier sell to the mainstream. Obviously, I prefer metal. But seriously, metal is friggin' intense a lot of the time, and has a lot more complexity to it. People would prefer to listen to the same loop over and over again with people talking over it. It's much easier to digest. | ||

At the height of rock, riffs and lyrics had some meaning to them. In today's world, the music industry is aimed at profitability, rather than profitability being a by-product of soulful music written by real people. | ||

Double pedal > repetitive background boomboom that makes for 80% of the music. The range of different metal vocals > talking in a mic, even if they talk fast in that mic. And one last just cuz you're doing that "not so convinced" face: Headbang > bouncing your right hand while the left is groping your crotch. | ||

Never liked hippy-hop, never will. too one-sided and boring. My most fav band is Pink Floyd. Currently going through the whole beethoven collection and enjoying it very much. The harmonics and artistical side at that time by far exceed nowadays music, including metal etc. | ||

Metal, Rock, Reggae, Hip Hop and allot of various styles of techno are all much better for me! | ||

There is real music in every single genre. Sure, most genres have artists that are only in it for money, but every genre also has a ton of artists who write music because they love music. I could name a ton of non rap/hip-hop artists who make real music. | ||
