[QUOTE="Cowboy, post: 1124393, member: 7816"] The big difference between these generational viewpoints that you mention (which are quite valid) and the genre in question, is that all the other genres require some degree of musical knowledge in order to perform them, even if they were simple 3-chord songs with verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus anatomies. Even punk bands like The Sex Pistols got these basics mostly right (and I am no fan of punk). Hip-hop, rap, etc, requires no musical knowledge or skill to produce. Anybody with the ability to move a mouse cursor can "produce" assemblies of loops and other pre-recorded instruments into a DAW, add some monotonic gibberish into a vocal track, apply some effects and export it as a "song". This does not require any talent or musical theory knowledge at all. I know that I am in the minority when it comes to holding this viewpoint, but as I have stated in other threads on this subject, I have far too much respect for musicians to ever acknowledge this stuff a being music. I won't put up with it at all. Just yesterday I walked right out of a Typo shop after some or other inane recording started playing. And to think Typo cut their teeth by selling very cool rock memorabilia and suchlike. I think they've now cut their throat. For me at least. [/QUOTE]
