Hmm....you know I avoided this thread like the plague because I thought it was just another "I hate popular film XXX & popular director XXX & popular actor/actress XXX" cleverly rephrased to disguise what it really was...and because those threads usually get shut down rather quickly from all of the arguing that goes on.
I still think that this thread was started in that vein but seemingly it has morphed into something entirely different, a cathartic thread to vent your hate (in a reasonable manner) without fear of retribution from the masses.
A novel thread, we'll see how it goes.
Rap....you can compare it with most other forms of popular music in that when it reaches critical mass of popularity enough people have heard it to start pointing out it's many flaws....some don't need nearly that long.
It's pretty hard for me to accept the boasts of the hard "Ghetto-life" from a billionaire living in bel-air with a butler that wipes his own ass for him. Any "music" that relies almost entirely on rhythm is not music to me, it is a parade march.
Similarly, Grunge was something I liked during it's hey day but after a while I began asking the obvious questions such as, isn't it hard to accept "teen angst" from a 33 year old multi-millionaire?
