When people have distaste for rock, are they really speaking out of their own minds, or have they been conditioned to think that way since their childhood, or have their musical choices been limited due to social conditioning?
Also, why pick on rock? I mean, the sex, drugs and rock’n’roll thing is partly historical, yet also partly mythical. Way before rock was born, blues and jazz and country musicians were living the wildest lifestyles, filled with every imaginable vice.
Jazz and country are well respected now. And hip-hop and pop (I’m just referring to the bad apples) get away with promoting unfair sexism, raunchiness and greed etc.
But which genre gets the bad rap – rock. Back to my question: conditioning, or taste, or conspiracy? Is it chiefly American? No offence to the hip-hop crew, nor America itself.
