And now i'm going to end this thread once and for all. Music is what happens when a noise evokes a feeling in an observer. If I hear a needle fall to the ground, and it makes me feel something, it is music. Therefore, all sound has the potential to become music, should it reach the ear of the proper listener. You claim that Rap makes you experience a feeling of disgust, correct? Well disgust is a perfectly valid feeling, and the fact that Rap evokes it is evidence that it does in fact affect you. Rap is a collection of sounds that makes certain people feel something, a phenomenon that you yourself have admitted to.

The people in this thread have already shown that by every existing definition of the term "Music", Rap is included. Even if you consider music to be limited simply to an "intentionally crafted" series of sounds, Rap fits. You claim that Rap Culture is destroying the youth of today, which is just as nonsensical as when people claimed that Rock 'n Roll was doing the same to earlier generations. By all reason and logic, you have been proven wrong, and yet you continue. The only possible motive you could have to remain is simply to bait people into arguing with you, which is known as "Trolling". Now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go watch a cheesy horror movie.

My 4th grade teacher told my parents that I was a great essay writer, back then that I might be a journalist, but I was broken up in my teenagehood and so is my writing grammar.

If you sense rage in my writing, even though I am not intending to, THEN THAT'S A GOOD THING!

I would rather listen to music that hypes you up and gives you drive and passion, rather than listening to rap, where you feel like Western Civilization has degenerated in the 21st century.

Rap and Mainstream music should not be the sound of the 21st century.

Definition of Troll (based on the internet):

A person who, on a message forum of some type, attacks and flames other members of the forum for any of a number of reasons such as rank, previous disagreements, sex, status, ect.
A troll usually flames threads without staying on topic, unlike a "Flamer" who flames a thread because he/she disagrees with the content of the thread.

I don't remember attacking anyone. I was the one getting attacked originally.

I can't figure out how rap hypes you up, or gives you drive and passion. I had progressive rock in mind. Try listening to the song Mirrors and then Obsfucation - Between the Buried and Me, the first two tracks of the album The Great Misdirect
