A funny snake rap song

[DestinyLynette]

Okay, so I'm hesitant to enter into this apparent war-zone but I'll give it a whirl.

I think it's kind of... ignorant, I guess, to classify a whole genre as "crap". Everyone has preferences and there's not a right or wrong... Trust me, sometimes I wish there was, because if it were up to me, we would have the power to smite people for liking Beiber, Cyrus, and One Direction. Talk about bleeding from the ears. But the entire reason we have a whole variety of music is because everyone has different tastes. A taste, a preference, is not a science. It's an opinion.

I think this has escalated past where it should be. It's useless to argue about whether or not an entire genre of music is crap, because someone somewhere enjoys it. And I've yet to see and scientific way to figure out whose opinion is superior... can you pull a study for me?

I don't have an agenda here. I love alternative and contemporary Christian, some country... but I used to love rap (well, mostly Eminem and Fort Minor... still pretty good; you actually might like some Fort Minor songs, Neal. Never got into Lil Wayne or whatever... I PREFER my lyrics to have some sort of substance to them, but there's a time and a place for everything [Except Beiber. The time and place for that is never and in the trash. Just kidding. Kind of. Not really]) Anyway. There are some artists or specific songs that are good in EVERY genre. I mean I kind of can't stand techno, but I've heard a cool song or two. As a rule I don't care for pop, but I gotta admit, I dig Maroon 5, Pink, and Katy Perry.. sometimes.

I don't know why this exploded. You can simply say YOU don't LIKE a certain genre of music. I get the screaming impression of "ignorant degenerate" from anyone sagging pants or slurring words all over the place, but I don't know that for sure, and I don't tie that concretely with a genre of music and let it determine what I listen to.


tl;dr : stupid argument on both ends, music is an opinion, you can't speak as an authority on it beyond your own personal likes- and it should be worded as such. Most genres of music have cursing, sex, drugs, or violence SOMEWHERE- under what conditions you find it tasteful is your opinion as well.
