thats the worst stereotype about rock ive ever heard.
Well I was simply countering the worst stereotype about hip-hop I ever heard:
Listening to hip hop music makes you a F***ing Idiot.
First off, I am not classifying all rock. I am talking about new rock. Emo BS glorifying pity parties for yourself and suicidal tendancies. Turn on MTV and most rock today is either about rage or injustice in the system. Not all of it is. I personally like Audioslave, Godsmack, Korn, Nickelback, Metallica (old AND new), etc. However these styles are not what is hyped up alot. Korn is still in the hype but fading. Metallica is at legend status so no hype is needed. The new styles being promoted are emo BS about people unable to handle problems in life, bottling it up and then freakin spazzing out.
For instance, I honestly don't see the big deal about slipknot. They can't sing, instrumentals aren't harmonic except slightly, etc. And WTH is up with System of a Down? Their instrumentals are freakin awesome but their lead singer sucks anus. He can be good at times but he has no idea what rythme is, or has Rythme Deficit Disorder. I think shock value is what sells their records. Mudvayne has talent but doesn't use it all that much. Basically though, it isn't hard to see rock taking a turn into the classification of "depressionist/anti-social behavior music".
Although, I peg you as a classic rock guy I would bet. Nothing wrong with classic rock, it is pretty good. Ozzy falls into that category and we all know Ozzy is awesome. One thing to consider though is that alot more people that listen to hip-hop are open minded enough to listen to rock. A very large amount of people I have met throughout my entire life that listen to rock will NOT listen to hip-hop and (not aiming at anyone here) tend to be racist. My point with that is rock listeners can be very close minded people.
Besides, I still stand by my original statement that hip-hop will help out in the sexy category more than rock will. Chicks like dancing, not banging their heads or jumping around.

Rock gives real power to its people.
LOL. How does it do that exactly?
even if you'd rather listen to hip-hop (god forbid) you still have to admit that rock music is the best...
2 things:
#1) (Bolded part) If someone would
rather listen to hip-hop wouldn't that automatically make it the best in their eyes?

#2) It isn't the best if we are comparing Dr. Dre to Van Halen. Or 2pac to Rush. Death Row was the pwnz0r! (lol some people probably see that as blasphemy which is sad)
P.S. Civ is more addicting. But not more addicting than Silkroad Online currently.
