Which music genre would it be? For me, probably country. There are some country songs I like, but in general, I'm not a big fan of country twang.
If You Had to Erase a Music Genre

how is acknowledging that the desire to get rid of rap (a predominantly black-influenced genre) an indicator of my own racism. Its the same kind of take that actual racists spew everyday
how is not liking rap racist? the lyrics are mostly just garbage and make you dumber while listening to it
this is like saying youre racist for not liking anime, kpop and mcdonalds
rap has virtually no benefits listening to it
not liking it ≠ wanting to stop existing
and if you think ALL rap is garbage you have 0 music knowledge lmao
also saying that it "makes you dumber" and "has virtually no benefits listening to it" is just disrespectful what the fuck.
yeah a music genre where a lot of the lyrics are about violence drug consumption and sex is extremely valuable for humans and reflect how we should live perfectly
sure there are a good of rap artists and songs but what do you think which artists do the majority of rap listeners listen to? and what do you think, does the good side of rap make up for all the impact that the bad side of rap has?
you went from “rap makes you dumber and has virtually no benefits” to “sure, there are good rap artists and songs” pretty quickly lol.
also, you're assuming that music depicting violence, drugs or sex automatically has a negative impact on society and that art needs to teach people how they should live to have value. by that logic, movies, books and basically every genre of music with immoral characters or themes are harmful too.
and what exactly is your evidence that the “bad side” of rap outweighs the “good side”? Saying popular rap often contains those themes doesn't prove that listening to it makes people live that way or that the genre has an overall negative impact.
YOU ARE BASING OFF OF THIS ON ONE WUESTION. WHICH MUSIC GENRE WOULD YOU GET RID OF. THIS IS NOT A DEBATE. CALM DOWN.
idk man im lmao while writing all ts I don't even care what any of yall think I just wanted to write a lot this is hilarious
if you think that, you're racist. rap is black, if someone says they want to delete rap they're just racist because is not just a genre that you don't like how it sounds, is a movement, an style, with hundreds of thousands of differents sounds, with deep meaning in black culture. desiring to it being erased from existance is just disrespectful.
Nvm ur retarted. Offended by everything.
Actually. I think you are being racist to the Latinos and whites who helped pioneer rap in their respective domains. You’re a bigot for saying it’s black music only.
Not racist at all. Most mainstream rap does not promote the morals that we should have as a society. Most of it is disgusting behavior. No race involved. All races are retarted.
selection bias, you refuse to acknowledge hip hop that has any social commentary, reducing the whole genre to hedonist garbage
Everyone in this comment section has done that to some degree because they are negative immoral aspects of every genre of music. I see it more in rap. Biases are intrinsically, to a degree, how opinions are formed. Or that all country sounds the same, all metal is bad, etc.
if your whole argument is about morals then I don’t know why you don’t say 70s rock. 70s rock paved the way for the popularization of drug culture in music, the most famous artists died of overdoses and wrote dozens of songs about doing heroin and drinking themselves away
When did I say I agreed with 70’s rock? You are trying to insinuate based on a single word response I gave to a question that asked for a single word response.
Think about it like this, if he would have asked. “What was the most evil world leader in the world?” And I answer hitler. That does not mean I do not think Stalin, Kim Jung oon, or whoever are not evil.
That analogy doesn't work at all lmao. nobody said that choosing rap means you approve of 70s rock. the point was that if your justification for deleting rap is that it promotes immoral behavior, then you need to explain why that standard uniquely applies to rap when basically every major genre has music promoting drugs, violence, misogyny, hedonism, etc.
you can choose rap for any reason you want, but once you start justifying it with morality, you're opening the door to that comparison. “The question only asked for one answer” doesn't make your reasoning immune to criticism.
Sure, I think it’s the most immoral. But wait, that’s exactly what my example was, the most evil leader. Sabrina carpenter is retarted too. There, happy?
what about mainstream pop??? do you know what sabrina carpenter promotes for example??? literally pdflia?????? I could name you dozens of mainstream artists that have the same issue that you say, but of course you don't care because it sounds better to your ear
Is it cause you don't fw distortion? Only asking because a lot of my friends are like that.
I’d be lying if I said I knew what distortion was, rock just sounds irritating
i guess but its more a specific, manufactured archetype of pop that i hate
theres good pop music out there still
Rap is very hit or miss to me. In terms of mainstream music, I think rap is my least favorite genre. But there are some less mainstream rap artists I actually like listening to.
Pop
Includes: kpop, jpop, electropop, every Taylor swift album, britpop and funkopops
