Rock Music!!!Who hates this dumb noise that people call "music???"?

Question

I hate rock music, and heavy metal and gothic rock and punk rock, the whole **** of every body hates you and god hates us all, is the worst **** to listen to. Ha! It makes me laugh how people are basing rap music because of the message it's giving people when rock music is doing that to! Honestly look at how rock music influnces the people who listen to it! The weird hair stlyes, the dying of the hair and pericings and tattos all over your body, the drinking and smoking!!! Not only does rap music have an influnces on people but so does this dumbshit as noise called "music"!


SO THERE YOU HATERS OF THE GHETTO MUSIC!!!

Answer 1

Rap music sucks *ss. Metal at least lets people vent in a healthy way instead of shooting and beating people. Rap music is just a beat and it doesn't matter what lyrics are placed around it. It all sounds the same. And it is all *hitty.

Answer 2

Ok... first of all, it seems you're mostly insulting rock because:

A) You don't like it, apparently. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

B) You don't like that "rockers" insult rap. And the fact is, not all do. I'm not a big fan of rap, but I have friends who like it. And yeah, I think some rap music has a bad message, but I'm not gonna lie and say that that's not true for rock as well- and in fact, almost any genre of music.

As to the "weird hair styles, the dying of the hair and piercings and tattoos all over your body"- Those are often done for originality, and to distinguish yourself from the rest of the world, and it's all personal choice. Granted, it might make listeners think it's cool to be pierced and tattooed, but by the time they're old enough to do it, they'll hopefully realize that it should be a slightly more meaningful thing than "My favorite artist has a tattoo of a skull on his a**, I want one too!"

The smoking and the drinking- not so good. But there are rockers who live lifestyles free of these. Straightedge, for instance, is against them.

You can dislike rock, but it is music, and in a lot of cases it has a good influence- for instance, it can bring political problems to the public's attention (just as any form of music can). And I hope you know that by attacking rock this way, you're acting just like the "haters of the ghetto music".

Answer 3

Ok...this may go long, but I gotta

I've been listening to rock music for as long as I can remember, and I have to agree that some of the **** that is passing as rock music these days needs to be buried under 20 feet of earth, capped off with cement, and never allowed to see the light of day again.

But you cannot completely dismiss this type of music, as it has influenced more rap artists than you may be aware. Take a good hard listen to some of the more famous rap and R&B songs that have had major radio play over the last decade. I'll bet you don't even realize that a lot of these songs have sampled some famous Rock guitar riffs as their background beats. I will admit my ignorance by saying I do not know the name to 99% of these songs, but I can tell you that I have heard samples from such great musicians as David Bowie (I believe Puff Daddy used David's "Let's Dance" in a song), Aerosmith (Eminem used "Dream On" brilliantly), Led Zeppelin's incredible guitar riff in "Kashmir" (once again, Puff Daddy used this in a song he wrote for the "Godzilla" soundtrack), and many others that I cannot recollect at this time.

Onto the messages:
Ok, there is a lot of "death metal" out there, and the singer(?) sounds like he's trying to force out a massive dump. I'll agree with you that the lyrics in these songs aren't exactly "wholesome", but rap has just as many negative messages. I've been to a lot of parties and get-togethers in my time, and I can't tell you how many rap songs revolving around killing this person, ******* this *****, robbing this liquor store, and various other violent activities I've heard. I don't like it, and I don't listen to it....just like I don't listen to death metal. Let's just agree that both types of music have their negative messages and leave it at that.

As far as what rock music is influencing people to do, you're a little behind the times. No one is trying to look like their favorite rock star anymore. That went out with the 80's when the big hair look was the thing to do. If I had to point out an influence that is going on today, I would have to say that it's getting people to get involved with the world. Groups like System of a Down, Pearl Jam, Audioslave, and even Neil Young (don't you if you know these groups) have helped open my eyes to what's going on around me. There are some rap groups I listen to that have also been doing the same. Public Enemy has always been on the front line of the in-your-face political message. Eminem has a powerful song called "Mosh". I'm sure you could give more examples since rap is not really my forte'.

I'll shut up now , but I hope I was able to make a point.

If this has only served to infuriate you to hate rock even more, then I'll say this last thing: Wait another 50 years and see if "Gnarls Barkley" is getting more radio play than "The Beatles". My money is on Lennon, McCartney, Starr, and Harrison.

Answer 4

Try actually listening to some. Yeah, there's a lot of what you're talking about out there. But there are groups like System of A Down that has a real message. They're totally against war...

Also the word "Rap" means "To Talk" so to call it music is an oxymoron!!!

Being Ghetto is NOT a badge of honor...it's simply a declaration of IGNORANCE!

Answer 5

well i wouldnt quite call rap music. more like poetry with a beat.

and punk rock is da stuff. all rap talks about is money and materialism and stuff like "grillz". punk rock deals with real problems like how 'idiots are taking over" and how people are killed and tortured but people still have the nerve to call it "gods love". punk rock deals with REAL problems going on the world. punk rock doesnt go on about how you have a sexy girlfriend or some sweet braces or how you have billions of dollars.

also punk is actually music. meaning it has chords and melodies and changes in the pitch. instead of the same beat or chords over and over again with some guy talking. all rap really requires is the ability to write poetry. punk rock requires musical skills singing skills and song writing skills.

Im not saying that ALL rock is better than rap. but you cant really generalize rock. there are a bunch of different genders of rock. i dont really like metal. i do lean towards some heavier music though. but i also like bands like the rolling stones or the ramones or lagwagon which are less heavy and more acoustic. some bands do suck though. bands like van halen or blink 182. there is a LOT of rock that is totally ****.

for some good songs check out: i wanna be sedated - ramones, weve had enough - alkaline trio, had enough - frenzal rohmb, **** authority - pennywise, paint it black - rolling stones, where is my mind - pixies, falling apart - lagwagon

i do like a few rap songs. but mostly because they have some melody and chord progressions.

i like DRE by dr dre and a few others.

actually you may be able to tell me something. what is the song on this video? http://www.norco.com/ts/pass/norco06usa/templates/extras.php?lang=en&loc=videogallery&sloc=aliaslabs_ryanleech_02

I think its a good song and i want to get it. but i dont know what its called and who its by.

Answer 6

Your post makes absolutely no sense.

You need to study the history of rock and roll music to know anything about it.

Rock music is always evolving, taking something from all forms of music.

You can like a form of music and don't have to practice the "lifestyle" that they talk about in the music they play.

Answer 7

You need to relax.

People that are easily influenced by any type on music really have no susbatance to begin with and clearly have no right to defame any genre of music.

Hip-hop, Rock, whatever the music is....it's just entertainment.

Relax!

Answer 8

WHAT???

If you don't like rock music, that's your prerogative. To each his/her own. That's why there is different genre's of music. There is good & bad in every style of "music" whether it is rock, pop, ghetto, punk, country, etc...

You need to grow up and learn to appreciate all music... you don't have to like it, but appreciate it and be open minded to what different sounds bring to the table.

Answer 9

ya know at least theres a tune!
there is a different sound to every
band and you can understand the
words!(unless its all emo screamo)
but with rap you cant tell what they are
sayin... every song is identical... and
the music videos degrade women!
all you see are two chiks humping eachother
for guy attention!

Answer 10

all music in one way or another influences everybody but i like heavy metal eveyone has there own taste on music you shouldnt judge others by the taste of music they like
