I think it had a lot to do with the fact I bought up Outkast. Half the people in EYKIW don't even know hip hop exists, let alone contemplate that it's good.

Danny, you're coming off really poorly right now. That thread was full of decent discussion by fans of a band which you are currently posting on a message board for. It was people sharing about their love of the band, and you pretty much only seem to be bitter because people didn't agree with you. You're throwing around your opinion that the last 15 years of their career haven't been as good as the rest of their career as fact, and when people disagree with you, you're painting them as pathetic blind sheep.

you won't get bashed! well, by me anyway!Exactly.
I think I should leave this thread now before I get bashed.

indeed. i just skimmed it and the only person i recall mentioning outkast was bvs, and that was a criticism of outkast rather than hip-hop.But it's not like this got a massive flaming response. And as far as I can see no one in that thread said that hip-hop was not music, as you've claimed.

well i guess my brain exaggerated it all. i withdraw my scathing criticism.
my point (and iYup's and khan's) about listening almost exclusively to U2 and not realising there is a world of other music out there still stands though.

Oh. I'm sorry that stuff is pissing you off. I can't speak for all the ones doing it, but I never thought it was about belittling the genre, it was just about stupid jokes that you find amusing.
(And by "you," of course, I do not mean YOU. )
I went and read through the last few pages of the thread, and it's whiplashed from Crazy Tonight bashing, to oonts jokes, to the MOS "rap," to "what is rap," to a rather offensive comment about rap.
It's irritating on many levels.
One should be thanking the stars on a daily basis that one is not a Bon Jovi fan. So glad I have a wide enough worldview and a sophisticated enough palate to be free from listening to such watered-down, unoriginal tripe, let alone having to write rabid, unintentionally funny defenses of them on message boards for another band.
So lucky.
I'm sorry, Ashley.
