Every genre of music has it's ups and downs. The only reason Rap is getting a bad rap... um, no pun intended... is because it's so popular today. The so called rock music with the vocalist wishing his ex-girlfriend were dead, doesn't exactly have the greatest lyrics in the world either.

But you know what, it all sells and us intellectuals will sit here, whine and moan about how terrible it is. It's true, but don't go and say it's not music, because IT IS. Snapping your fingers could be considered as music for god sakes. So why not computer generated beats then?

I'm happy listening to my rock/alternative lovelyness, but this is just dumb and ignorant.
