why do zoomers not like anything but rap? don’t get me wrong i like rap but older more creative rap music. it seems like every single female now is just listening to generic rap crap and shaking her ass.
i miss those girls that would listen to emo and rock music and actually had some human emotions. surely zoomers must get sick of hearing the same beat over and over again.
emo sucks too
indie sucks, hard-line sucks
>don’t get me wrong i like rap
you're just as bad as "le zoomers" are
why do gen x'ers not like anything but synthpop? i miss those girls that would listen to disco and actually had some human emotions
Zoomers only care about WHO is making the music. The music itself is irrelevant.
your typical rap song is a gang member talking about making money, fighting or killing people, and fucking bitches. your typical emo song is some whiny fag crying about his girl leaving him.

The genre is a referendum on faggy hipster emo shit like what this board primarily likes
Because that's all many of them are exposed to because that's pretty much all the American music industry makes now.
>that's pretty much all the American music industry makes now
are you retarded by any chance? taylor swift, zach bryan, olivia rodrigo, luke combs, billie eilish, morgan wallen, miley cyrus, that ginger fuck with the guitar... they're all on the billboard top 20 right now.
modern American pop is all "hip-hop influenced" (ambiguously brown girls singing about being whores over a trap beat)
>Billboard Top 200 - 9/14/2023
>2. Zach Bryan - I Remember Everything
>3. Luke Combs - Fast Car
>5. Morgan Wallen - Last Night
>11. Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North of Richmond
>15. Bailey Zimmerman - Religiously
>30. Jason Aldean - Try That in a Small Town
none of these songs are "hip-hop influenced" and the average audience of these songs don't like hip-hop culture.
But you cherry-picked random songs.
I bet the vast majority on the chart are indeed hip-hop.
>the second and third most popular songs in the US are cherry picked
okay
That changes constantly.
What doesn't change is the fact the majority of the songs are hip-hop.
Next week, hip-hop songs might take their place.
But what remains the same?
Most of it will still be hip-hop.

>relevant to zoomers
Top kek
i guess this is b8 because there's no way you're this retarded
They will always make generic pop music, anon, that's a given.
>are you retarded by any chance?
it's a known fact that rap (and pop) is easy as fuck to cookie cutter, just like rock was years ago
>taylor swift
has been popular for over a decade
>zach bryan

seriously nagger?
>that ginger fuck with the guitar
cool, you can name one literal who that managed to make a smash hit
>Mr. Corpo Labelman told me what an entire generation likes - I trust him
I feel like popular music in the 90s, and in the 00s to an extent, was diverse enough to encourage people to branch out and get into lots of other stuff. It resulted in not a diversity among listeners. Now it's all hip-hop or electronic pop, with some decades-old pop punk bullshit seeping in again. Add to that the current generation's aversion to anything "old" (when more interesting things were being originated), and you've got probably the most homogenized and ignorant listening audience since like 50 or 60 years ago. That's just how it seems to me.
resulted in a diversity *
this is the most boomer thread. There are more subgenres of music than ever before you're just too old and too lazy to listen to anything beyond the first 5 seconds before going right back to your 90s/00s playlists.
Yep.
And the music industry has always been garbage.
They just didn't gatekeep as much in earlier decades because their margins are so thin now, so they've gone the "tenpole" route like Disney with Marvel, only concentrating on a handful of IP to promote relentlessly.
That's why the same artists never seem to go away now.
it doesn’t matter when every single person is listening to the same shit you fucking morons
I don't understand what you mean.
Everyone listened to Michael Jackson in the '80s, but he was hardly the only thing they promoted. They promoted all sorts of genres.
The music industry has a much narrower focus now.
tentpole
This is the most idiotic comment. Of course there are more genres and sounds than ever before, the breadth of music only grows and never contracts. That's not what is being discussed, and those many sounds aren't ubiquitous like rap and the current pop style.
>and those many sounds aren't ubiquitous like rap and the current pop style.
Ubiquitous where? Where do you consoom your music? If it's just radio and MTV in 2023, then the previous comment still applies.
You have to search for it on the internet.
If you don't care about music that much, you're not going to bother, of course.
Hence zoomers all get exposed to the same handful of artists doing rap features... forever.
I think it's because we grew up when extremely popular artists started to blend rap and pop more and more, artists like Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Beyonce, Drake and Nicki Minaj specifically did this. It was just extremely common to hear rap even if you weren't a fan of hiphop
The music industry promotes rap because single vocalists are easier to manage than a band.
And who produces their music?
The studio's in-house production teams, so you don't have to worry about an artist's drop in quality because they can still rap if they're on drugs or whatever.
It's just cheaper with less aggravation when you're more worried about hitting the greatest market share instead of taking risks on thin margins
If only you really knew.
