I love that gif
I hate rap so much

Exactly! There is no real music without mandolin.

Or yknow, 17 and raised on rock

"To be a true music enthusiast, you must have the open mind to find gems in every genre."

Well, i'm not a music enthusiast then... problem solved, doesn't mean you have to lower people who primarily like rock down to the level of 12 year olds who think CoD is better than Sonic or somesuch state of mind.

...But that's exactly what it is.

"HAY GUYS I LIKE ROCK MUSIC EVERYTHING ELSE IS gay."

I just wanted to use this .gif, so we'll say it's OP and his classmates arguing about music.

Well I don't think generalizing is a bad thing, but I do recognize that rap does have it's gems, and even things like dubstep can be useful when applied as background music in a videogame, but generally I find rap to be about scoring all dem honeys down at da club... at least country is listenable.

Yeah, you're right. Probably about 10% of rap is in my opinion artistic or poetic/worth listening to since the lyric is pretty much the primary reason to listen rap. But since there's such a gigantic amount of rap music being produced, that 10% is still a huge amount of music that you could probably listen to solely and still have a vast variety of music to listen to day to day. It just takes a bit of digging. The mainstream projection of any genre is never a good place to start.

There's nothing wrong with only liking one genre, but there is something wrong with being an intolerable 12 year old.

I think we just agreed and came up with a solidified conclusion... I'm scared, it feels like I'm not on FJ anymore...
