Nowadays, it's the same thing with hip hop. Far too often I hear people say things like "rap is crap" or "I hate hip hop". I used to be like this myself until I realized that MTV is not the best place to look for quality hip hop music, or music in general.

My point is, rock is not the end-all be-all of musical genres. Music is a family that rock is a part of, as is jazz, classical, hip hop, dance, and many many others.

The difference is that rock, heavy metal, jazz, classical, and dance are music, whereas rap is noise.

So where is that buzzing noise coming from every time I happen to accidentally read one of posts

The content of your post is extremely subjective. Written like a true fascist.

Once again, your opinion is worthless as you have no merit.

This is pretty much pointless now, so let me leave you with a final tip. Remember to cut down the highway, not across the street.

You have an interesting way of keeping those green boxes. Oh wait, I meant green box.
