Why are their many white people who like HipHop but not many black people that like rock?

Question

There are many instances that I experienced that brought this question up.

Just to give u guys an example:

I was at a party a few weeks ago and it had about an equal amount of blacks and whites. There was a DJ at this party and he liked to mix it up by playing rock and hip hop music at different times. So when I was sitting down with a friend, I noticed that when hiphop music was being played, both black and white people would get up & dance to it. But when it would switch to rock, most of the black people would sit down & scratch their heads, or just go to a corner to chill.

But yeah, is there a reason why this is?

Answer 1

I've actually seen this happen many times..me personally i love all music and if i can dance to it i will. But i think its like a social thing. Like if some people feel that its not cool to dance to rock music than other people might follow the and do the same or it could just be the perference of the majority.

Answer 2

I like some rock, especially System of a Down.

I go to a hip hop club and they usually play exclusively hip hop, but every once in a while one of the DJs plays Nirvana's Smell Like Teen Spirit. Everybody still dances to it. That's a good song no matter what race you are.

Answer 3

You can't dance to rock. Sure you can jump up in down, nod your head, throw each other around and "mosh" but that isn't dancing. I like some rock but I have never heard a rock song and thought it was something to dance to. I see people dancing but the dancing usually isn't anything worth watching and in my opinion, doing.

Answer 4

Culture. Blacks are probably more into the beat and lyrics of hip hop, but don't "feel" the vibe from a guitar.

Answer 5

dont know why is there so many white chicks with black guys but not black chicks with white guys you'd think they'd want a stable home and income and to get out of bad neighborhoods not to say I am prejudice I like black women just cant find any who like white guys

Answer 6

you cant dance to rock really, except like jump up and down. i love rock music and prefer it. i only like rap when im at a party or a dance, or if im blasting it in my car with the windows down because its awesome.

Answer 7

I hate rap and hip hop but most blacks cant understand anything but Money ho's and pop a cap

Answer 8

I believe its fashion. It fashionable to wear huge jeans,pulled down to show your underwear. Hat on sideways,a toilet faucet hanging off a chain around your neck. The way i can hold a gun on its side. These kids will grow up and realize its not fashionable to be Black,but be proud your not Black.

Answer 9

i dont really know if their is an answer but ive noticed that a lot of white people act black but u never hear anybody say that someone is acting white.why is that?

Answer 10

because its just the way we are for me i hate country and rock i hate them both but when comes to R@b thats when i have to get up and dance i guess you just have more rhythom with it
