In Reply to: The argument that “your parents probably didn’t like the music... posted by Fretless on October 7, 2003 at 15:48:45:
what do you think the classical music loving parent, who listened to tchaikovsky exploring the depths of the human soul in a piano concerto, was telling his kid about listening to three-chord, repetitive rock & roll where the singer screams (not sings) about "i wanna hold your hand"?exactly what you're saying here about rap's relative unsophistication and lack of depth, and about rock & roll's substitution of amplification and screaming in place of "music".
you could replace "rap" with "rock & roll" in your rant, and it'd sound like what was said in 1960 -- and that's exactly the point of the argument you're trying to argue against.
