I don't get it. No matter how hard I try I just can't

That you're really white.
And no, Johnny Strawman, there's nothing wrong with that.

You just aren't into it right now. Same thing happened to me (although I'm slowly getting back into rap again). As much as I wanna blame how shitty the genre has become as it seems that fewer rappers are trying to do anything notable I think it's just something that happens much like changing taste in foods as you grow up. You look back and see some things sound better or worse now. It's just how things go.

music really depends on your interests
for example if you are into lyrics, poetry, fashion, dancing, hanging out, getting high then chances are you're going to like rap and hiphop

if you are a white nerd who has never cared about lyrics and always been about the music and melody. Hell not even melody just music in general then you're going to like classical, jazz, or some other genre like that.

if you are casual and just wanna chill and not think too about the music then light edm or new pop like gorillaz or alt rock would be good for you.

if you want to tell everyone how angsty you are then you're gonna show off punk and metal.
these are debatable though because metal is very technical and requires close listening even thought I've had trouble listening to it. Cause honestly if you put away all the edge and darkness its some weird kind of guitar music with the goal of not making much sense

so just go with the flow and listening to what you like, I listen to a little bit of every kind of music but my favorite are baroque pop, jazz, classical, and noise rock. thats because I like getting very close with what is happening in the writing process. rap and hip hop just dont have that in a very musical sense. surely SOME rap musicians use interesting metric organization in their rhythm but thats about it, the rest are about attitude, wit, rhyme, and meaning which go under poetry and not really music.
