Don't care that dorky cornballs hate rap because I truly believe it's difficult to get into any genre of music you didn't get a taste of during adolescence unless you're one of those weirdo freaks who listen to new music their entire lives. Yeah there's a racist element to it but overall I think people who actively listen to music outside of pop but say they don't like rap are telling the truth, the musical components associated with hip hop (I'm not talking about lyrics) are largely unpleasant to their ears. I feel the same way about classic rock.

Like I can show a Hamilton stan Story 2 by clipping. - a queer Be Gay, Did Crimes song where a man took his ass to therapy - and I still don't think they would like it. Appreciate it maybe, but not like it.

#This is a tragedy because I have music that I know the little whites i keep in my phone would love if they'd only been raised around rap #But they didn't so they can only appreciate it as written poetry (they won't)#have a bit of empathy for this bc I grew up on gospel and R&B #which I largely dislike due to the prevalence of 808s and certain percussions that make me feel physically ill
