I think its the opposite. People that really appreciate those genres of music tend to be more intellectual, rather than someone who just listens to rap. (note: I like all kinds of music including rap) Rap has faded in recent years, and I lean more towards 80's, 90's, and Electronic music these days.
I agree with you on this posting. I listen almost exclusively to Trance with some Hardstyle mixed in for workouts. I can stand some rock sometimes, that is about it really. I would not consider myself close minded, but I see rampant materialism being shoved down the throats of the hungry masses and my natural inclination is to get very far away from that whole scene.
Also, and this is poorly understood, Trance is modern day Classical music. It is written the same in fact.
I mean, this is PERFECT music IMHO.
Meanwhile the mouth breathers get all excited over this
Look at the difference in the numbers of views of each I mean, what can you really say about that? Would you REALLY prefer lil john over the video I posted? Listen to both and tell me what you think.
On a day to day basis I find it very strange that many, MANY people strongly prefer rap but I have gotten immune to it over the years. You cannot change people. They are sheep at heart and I am just very thankful to have been born to march to a different drum...
