When I have to listen to someone elses music blaring as they drive by is not forcing it on me?
Do you realize how much this complaining sounds like old folks in the 1950's, complaining about those darn kids and their rock and roll music? And Elvis' vulgar movements on TV?
I don't know much about electricity either, but I won't be sticking my tongue in a light socket.
there you go generalizing again.. and what did we learn about generalizing? how does
that make you sound?

Exactly. There's vulgarities in many musical genres. Any of which can--and are--played at high volumes out of cars.Socnorb11 wrote:
That's true. I'm sure there are some vulgarities in metal. I don't listen to that stuff, either.
I don't think anyone cares that you don't like rap. I think they care that you stereotype an entire genre of music by several bad apples.

Nothing? Really? David Allan Coe?I've listened to enough country music to know there's NOTHING as in inappropriate as some of the lyrics that I've seen from rap.
You're right in the baseball analogy. There wouldn't be enough information. However, that's not a good analogy. I know enough about country music to know that there's nothing as bad as a few of the rap lyrics that I've seen. I've got plenty of information to conclude that.

Do you honestly think it's as inappropriate as some of the raping, cop-killing, prostitution and "penis" songs that rappers do?

Re: People who hate Hip Hop Music
Maybe if Pujols pulled out his 9 and popped a cap in the pitcher after he struck him out, smoked some weed at first and them danced with a bunch of half naked "ho's" all with a mad look on his face it would be more accurate.Socnorb11 wrote:How is that an appropriate anaology.

Hey omaha, not to hijack the thread, but in your opinion is the generalizing going on in this thread the same as me saying I don't like to watch foreign films because my ADD won't allow me to keep up with subtitles?omaha_red wrote:bottom line here..all current country music sucks..

But I'm not stereotyping. I've said many times that I'm sure that some of it is fine. But the bad stuff is some of the most sickeningly inappropriate stuff I've ever heard.Popeye_Card wrote:Exactly.
