Lol you keep on missing that point Chula. Point is that they're both readily accessible to anyone who wants to play it. Since it's the most available to the people, it is the people's music. But hurrdurr dey don't play punk on da radio so I'm rong on this.

Considering the amount of dunderheads I've met irl who fancy themselves rappers, or who just like to get high and freestyle poorly, yeah I could call hip hop "music for the people".
Exactly. It barely takes anything to do it, and that factor is a lot more important to what were describing than straight up popularity or straw man arguments, Chula.
