And before you start screeching about rappers being some kind of niche genre that normal kids don't listen to, rap music and especially Trap and Soundcloud Rap presently dominate streaming services and the charts in commercial consumption. This is what white middle class high school kids listen to at parties and when they get baked in their cars.

These new genres of hip hop are the Heavy Metal/NuMetal/Alt Rock/Party Rap/Gangster Rap that was the edgy choice of suburban kids when you were young. Rock and traditional college 'alternative music' of most stripes has almost completely atrophied. Do you have any comprehension of current youth music?

I listen to "The Story So Far Radio" on Spotify on my way into biglaw most mornings because it helps me reconnect with a piece of the version of me that used to be fun and feel genuine excitement about life from time to time.

I am sure some angry lawmen are going to insist this guy isn't actually famous but he probably has 50%+ name recognition with high school kids and he's been a guest on shit like Ellen Degeneres. He's fucking famous.

He survived his initial fame and has gone on to be a person that many of our dads could recognize if prompted correctly.

I used him as an example of something that people thought was a mere blip on the radar at the time. So lacking in merit and artistic value that it would just be a quickly forgotten oddity of the moment. Now his shit seems quaint and he's a kind of elder statesmen of the alternative 90s era.

The Ramones are fucking great and at the time many people were flipping out because they didn't know how to play, singing was terrible, lyrics were awful, etc. It was thought to be beyond ignorant. You can draw an analogy to them if you want to know what I'm getting at.

is this the same as 2pac.. revenge is the sweetest joy next to getting pussy.. ? do you honestly get the same adrenaline rush listening to migos? the youngs have no choice, they got school peer pressure. nobody pressured me to listen to 2pac... a friend gave me a cd one time, i put it on, the rest is history. i always pretended i was above it all, but secretly, i liked 2pac. it felt like there was a force behind it, some kind of psychic energy that wanted to scream out to the world. wtf is migos? just some lullaby for grown ups stuff? party music? thats it. just stuff your face with twinkies equivalent of rap.

migos doesnt pretend to be anything, its just stupid music to get you hyped up and it does a good job of it

Vaporwave was never something that was widely played on radio, streaming services, or that has produced any truly notable people. It's definitely part of young Millennial culture but it's flash in the pan novelty genre.

Those two genres seem to be internet-only

This doesn't apply to you, but I just can't believe how angry and defensive many of the replies are ITT.

"Fuck you lib and these faggot GLIB 'rappers' mumbling over computer clicks and clacks, why would I listen to this internet rap garbage? I know what good music is!"

It wouldn't matter what the popular genres and emergent youth genres are. The guys wouldn't listen to it no matter what. It's always that way.

But for some reason they feel compelled to couch it as 'I don't know what new popular music is because I have good taste and it's all garbage, not because I naturally lost touch with what young people like and pop culture because I'm getting older and I have other shit to do besides consume pop culture.'

My kids think my music is horrid, which is fine with me. Kids aren't supposed to have the same music taste as their parents.

How often do you pull out your albums by skeelo or the offspring. I listened to pavement 2 years ago and almost shot myself. PS the Beatles suck too

I'd say today about a third of my listening is classical and 30s/40s big band/orchestral type stuff

I hate his music and I don't think he's particularly smart or interesting. It remains inarguable that he's a highly successful ROCK STAR multi-millionaire who is essentially his own brand and can remain wealthy for the rest of his life without needing to release hits or otherwise be an important person in pop culture. He's his own brand. I don't care that he's garbage. That's the nature of pop culture and you're either good at it or you're not. The suggestion that he's some kind of blip on the radar that's not worth considering when we wonder whether the current generation of retards will have professional longevity is autistic wheezing of the lowest variety.
