"Rockism"
punkpoet:
i think this whole rockism thing is going on most definetly. hell i see it everyday. hang out with any 17 year old kid who loves metal and they will show you just ho=w bad it can get. but i dont think its a movement, some persons do exibit said behaviour but on the whole i dont think "rockism" is really all that big a problem. i think the bigger problem is stright up emo kids who think that if they cant "feel the song" then its not worht listening to.
however this is strictly my own opinion based on my experiance in life thus far.

That said, no way rap or pop is real music.

--- Quote from: Mikintosh ---I'll listen to most genres as long as they have some bite to it or at least don't offend my ears too greatly; the hardcore rappers and the more twee folk bands are pretty much the only segments of the music community I'll turn off immediately.

i'm guessing you mean mainstream rappers. i'd say MF Doom is pretty hardcore rap, but he's also one of the best lyricists out there. please clarify...

While rap is indeed music, it doesn't come from the same lineage as rock-based music. To me, it seems like rap is the musical descendant of beat poetry, not jazz (which is the ancestor of rock). Thus, comparing rock to rap is difficult to impossible. There is decent rap and then there is shit rap. There is decent rock, and then there is shit rock. R&B and pop, though, are both derived from rock, and can be judged on the same standards, so it's perfectly fine to say R&B and pop suck cock like it's going out of style.
