re: Serious question: why do older people hate rap so much?

Because it is shite "audio" compared to real music. Long Live Rock n Roll. (and blues and jazz and...)

I’m 31 and think it’s absolutely terrible. 90% of all rap is created by people with a single digit IQ. Secondly, it glorifies gang, drug culture, and battering women. Unfortunately, many ‘youths’ pick up that garbage at a young age, and grow up with absolutely no respect for law enforcement or any other type of authority figure.

BLM should be all over rap music and culture, which contributes to way more black deaths than law enforcement ever has or will.

Rap and country are very similar imo. Both genre’s songs are overwhelmingly geared towards women and getting fricked up

Exactly... same thing with classic rock.
Country and rap also have very similar themes when it comes to bragging or talking about vehicles.

Hate, no, it’s just not my preference. Music is art. If the words don’t move you the rhythm will.

Because it sucks!

Same reason why older people in the 50s hated rock n roll

New rap is terrible

Rap and country are not even in the same ballpark on the same planet

Traditional country is the white man's blues. Not talking about the tractor rap shite.

Only time I ever listen to rap is if I’m working out or about to get black out drunk

I’m 40. I’m a man, dammit. I can sing the majority of rap lyrics from 88-00. From Too Short to Tupac. Easy to Lil Flip. I cannot tolerate any of today’s rap. I don’t think it’s so much that I’m old, just the music and style is terrible. Unlistenable. I still like the old shite though.
