Stereotypes
Maverick:
looking for thoughts on why stereotypes of Emo and Hip-Hop are so prevalent and often the subject of public jokes, yet metal, rave and indie (just 3 examples) could all so easily be subjected to the same treatment....yet aren't.
Kai:
Metal is totally stereotyped as "stupid" and "angry", which is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Rave is stereotyped, with good reason. Crack-addicted rapist motherfuckers.
Maverick:
yeah, i know that all genres have their own stereotypes, but why is it that only a few are subjected to jokes? i listen to most genres, big metal fan, but i can't see why hip-hop is any more laughable than indie.
La Creme:
The vast majority of Hip-Hop and Emo (as well as most mainstream Metal) is targeted towards a less intelligent, less musical, and generally more normal audience. People who have strange or different taste tend to poke fun at this group of sheepy-ass conformists. It's just what we do.
The only genre that truly deserves to be generalized about is reggae. But it's always in a good way.
McTaggart:
I find it's the metallers themselves who take the piss out of metal. Or of course they're serious in a really funny way.
