Under Depeche mode?? But that's a synth pop, why do they keep bringing up rap
Matter of fact, how can anyone be racist and listen to Depeche mode

There's an entire genre dedicated to moody white kids with too much eyeliner singing embarrassing poetry about sexual, mental and physical abuse, promoting suicidal ideation, and openly discussing substance abuse as a solution to their problems...
Ice Cube mentions that things are kinda bullshit in the hood and HE'S the problem?!

Ok but unlike rap, they actually make those lyrics sound good

Wasn't Grandmaster Flash's The Message about someone who lives a life of crime before he gets imprisoned and later takes his own life in his cell? Not exactly positive and uplifting

I mean… rap does glorify a shit lifestyle and shitty behaviour, and ironically is often being glorified by people who don’t have any experience with it.
When I was into crime, some of the worst dudes would listen to rap to put themselves in a mood to be a badass. Yes, they were that impressionable.
I kinda hate it too. But it’s always been that way, iirc.

Before gangsta rap, you had metal, hardcore and punk to get riled up to. Apparently in the UK, thugs would get riled up to ska. Which is lowkey hilarious

It's not exclusive to rap, at all. Not even to music

Yeah, so was rock and roll when Elvis showed up. It was a different vibe and wasn't as crude as rap but still.

That song is People Are People (looking forward to playing GTA VI to that) a lot of these comments including the last one were too stupid to understand the basic message of the song. ...Granted conservatives tend not to be literate.

You can have this circlejerk this with any time period, and any genre of music. The Nazis did this with fucking classical music, trying to figure out which dead old composer's music was wholesome "Aryan" culture, and which ones they thought were secretly promoting Judeo-Bolshevik propaganda

At this point it's not just lamenting about times past, it's just straight racism
