i appreciate any music that has some remnants of musicality; which is why i loathe rap. rap, and especially "gangsta rap" has been nothing but receyled lyrics and catch phrases, i.e. snoop dogg's "izzles", and lil jon's "ok"'s, "what"'s, and "yeah"'s. all thy seem to rap about is ho's, bitches, and 22's. of course, artists like outkast and kanye west can sometimes make rap listenable, but on the most hand, rap is on the downslide.
pop has become quite a pet peeve of mine as well. my despise can be summed up as: too pretty, too happy, too stupid, and too annnoying. this gripe also extenRAB to punk banRAB who start treading between the lines of punk and pop.
however, i will let u know that i like banRAB like korn and slipknot. before i get called a hippocrite, i must let yall know that love rock music, and i love any music w/ gutiars in it (whether it be segovia, flamenco, or the bloody scrawl of slipknot) im just a guitar junkie.
