I agree with a lot of that, and rap has never been my favorite (most of my life I never listened to it at all), but not all rap is gangster rap. I've found mixes of more positive-messaged rap that I listen to occasional; great for when you're working, working out, or running, and the like.

And, yeah, it's probably more simplistic than many other music styles, but it can still have some interesting rhythm and such. A bunch of it doesn't though. There's tons of trash rap, tons of degenerate rap, tons of violence inspired rap. No argument here.

And White or Asian people copying it are worshipping black gangster culture because so much of hiphop and rap is based around that.

I do like to hear other cultures' takes on things, and there's some fun Asian rap but, yeah, it's also frustrating to see people latch on to some of the stupider cultural trends. Why go out of your way to copy trash, when we have enough cultural problems?

Just look at the lyrics and music videos and what the "singers" wear and how they conduct themselves. All the tattoos , too many metal piercings, stupid amounts of jewelry (again , its based off of materialistic gang culture) just all around uglyness , rudeness , trashy . In general its all just vulgar.

I mean, to be fair, you could say the same for most of that when it comes to rock and roll, punk, metal, and so many more. Hair metal was hilarious. Popular music has had elements of degeneracy and immorality for ages. You just have to pick and choose what you like.

And why is something that was invented decades ago always promoted like its "cool and modern"?

Because culture stopped in the 90's-00's, and has only been decaying since. :(
