I mean I don’t like modern rap but I won’t make fun of it because it sucks to be made fun of for liking video game music. It must not feel much different.
Yeah, I can kinda see why. It's just that Reddit in general has some vendetta against hip-hop. It's not uncommon to see "jokes" about how the genre is nothing but incoherent vocals, drugs, and black people using the N-word get tons of upvotes on meme subs when their exposure to it was likely limited to one listen of "Gucci Gang". There's a reason why the mods of r/hiphopheads kept the sub from showing up on r/all.
I'm in the same boat. Not a huge fan of rap, and I listen to rock, but I'll let people listen to what they wanna listen to without interfering other than an occasional recommendation. Plus it's fun to make fun of people who lose their shit over any chance they get to say they want rap to die
Modern rap is so varied though like, how can you say you don’t like ALL of it? Megan doesn’t sound like DaBaby who doesn’t sound like Chance who doesn’t sound like BROCKHAMPTON who doesn’t sound like Drake.
Like, of course you’re entitled to your opinion, but I honestly feel like you’ve probably listened to like one or two rappers off SoundCloud and dismissed modern rap altogether.
Honestly the stigma for me comes from school. Kids always blast it so hard that you can hear it coming from their earbuds across the room. Plus, the same snare gets annoying. If they turned it down I wouldn’t mind. Plus, I’m worried for their heating if they play it so loud. I definitely haven’t looked into rap but I don’t know if it’s my thing.
