because I noticed in the Q101 thread that a few of you were complaining about new rock music. I'm mostly a fan of rap music and so much of it of it sucks now, but especially the popular ones that the skinny jeans like. The exception being :kanye:


Does this happen every 5-10 years or do kids these days (i feel old putting lt like that lol) really have that shitty of taste?

I haven't liked any bands that came out since like early 2000's.

The last band that has come out that I've really dug was DragonForce.

Its just a fact that most adulys hate the music kids listen too. It happened back in the day, most adults (40+) hate rap, and im sure in 15 years people my age (18) will not like the music kids are listening too.

There always has, and always will be good music.

If you're E-literate enough to post on a internet forum, it shouldn't be that hard to find new music that you'll like.

Not a fact when it comes to people who actually love and understand music. No, not someone who says they love music, then names off top40 songs... yeah, really passionate about music. :rolleyes:

True and valid point, but my favorite genre, numetal, is all but dead. :shot:

Can't argue against you on that one, the last hip hop album that blew me away was over 10 years ago.

But as far as the other genres I listen to, I have no complaints.

I only listen to rock and Blues.

A lot of the bands I listen to aren't well known... but they're really good..

I listen to new rock too, just harder stuff. Not like death metal, just harder. Not Pop-rock.

rap/hip hop is much different than alot of other genres imo....because it's based more rhythmically than harmonically(i think hip hop and rap can be linked to african heritage and tradition that emphasized rhythm but im not greatly educated in this subject)

today's rap and hip hop seems very watered down..although its not like there isnt good stuff out there....but the content of the music has changed alot

not to mention quite a few rappers actually steal background music from other people/bands rather than using their own....that pisses me off...make your own damn beats and music

but ya...if you dont like rap/hip hop at all thats your choice..but i dont see why people completely shut themselves out from genres of music...its a good thing to soak in new ideas and music is no exception

Guys please don't be confused between the genres of Rap & Hip-Hop. Hip-hop is lyrcism and actual songs, rap is the shit you hear on the radio talking about the club and rims. Hip-hop is NOT that.

In West Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said you're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air
