No, go take some fucking rogaine.

Rock was actual rebellion against a social order that was deemed unfair whereas rap and hip hop would collapse without suburban middle class white kids.

There is nothing to rebel against anymore, the values that they want upheld are already institutionalized by now. Neo Nazis are literally closer to counterculture
>>
>>73629551

Not as long as metal is a thing. The people playing 2-minute of blast beats with some fat fuck growling over it is always going to be more rebellious than anything in Hip Hop or rap just because of how inaccessible it is to about 80-90% of the population. Hip Hop is way too accesible (even at its more extreme) to ever be considered rebellious by anyone who isn't racist.
>>
Show me the last time an hip hop album was rebellious enough to make a 20 minutes long song.
>>
>>73631402
Metal hasn't had fresh developments happen to it in years, nor is it accessible enough to truly be an anthem for rebellion for the people, nor has it ever been counterculture (not part of the culture either though.)

Metal just doesn't have that kind of cultural influence since it's about booze, dragon, and satan.

This is some paradoxical stuff right here. If it's accesible to be recognize by the mainstream then it's not genuinely rebellious. You can't have crossover appeal with Taylor Swiff and Kanye fans and consider yourself truly rebellious. Authentic rebellion is off-putting and an acquired taste. It's true that Metal has gone stale, but it's still completely off-putting the majority of people.

Music was more rebellious back in the 60s, 70s etc because the western population was much younger due to the baby boom. Now, collapsing birth rates have left us with and older and more restrained populace.

Metal never straight up railed against culture like punk rock or those antiwar 60s/early 70s guys did. Sure you had like Metallica or Megadeth occasionally talk about war n politics n injustice, but it was never such an overt thing that they actively pushed. This is also not even going into how relatively inaccessible metal as a whole has been which also makes it very tough to be a countercultural force because it can't get as many people to its side.
>>73631609
Everything from hip hop traditions to the current government regime to police to unfortunate negative stereotypes related to murder. Not to mention that a lot of things they talk about since the days of Reagan are still there as well though not as bad.
>>73631633
Good record. Very niche though.
>>73631761
But at the same time you can't have a legitimate counterculture if you make your music straight up inaccessible because then there won't be enough people for a counterculture.

Yeah I bet Nickelback fans feel like they can take over the world when they listen to their favorite song by them, yet no one calls them "rebel" because it's actually pretty damn normal. Liking Hip Hop is as rebel as something like being a Nirvana fan in the early 90's.

>But at the same time you can't have a legitimate counterculture if you make your music straight up inaccessible because then there won't be enough people for a counterculture

Metal has millions upon millions of fans. The rock counterculture you're referring to was just mainstream culture, which is always changing. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stomes, Jimi Hendrix were all mainstream figures propt by big mainstream labels. Nothing really counter about it. Modern metal has about the same following as punk did during the 80-90s more or less with bands like Fugaz.

In no way OP was talking about accessibility of the music.
>>
>>73629551
To judge "rock" is kind of idiotic because "rock" doesn't exist anymore. Sometime in the 90s it splintered into like 500 different subgenres and adopted traits from 500 other genres. For a while it hung on as a blanket term for "guitar-based pop music that places an emphasis on live performance" but go look at the top tracks on the billboard rock chart now and what do you see? Shit like Imagine Dragons. 21 Pilots, and Gorillaz. Studio-based music that has more to do with electronic and hip hop music than what I just defined as "rock."

Today "rock" is little more than a marketing term for fragments of pop music that are sold as subversive or boundary pushing or "alternative." It has fragmented twenty times over by now, which is a defining trait of modern media

I think hip hop is just entering this stage so it still has a sense of cohesion and identity. It is exciting to watch it separate, like how it was exciting to watch rock separate in the 90s. But when it collapses (and it's already starting) there will be no distinction between hip hop and rock and electronica. It will all just be pop music and innumerable niches of pop

This is fucking bullshit considering the sheer amount of anti-govt/anti-war stuff all of those guys (maybe except the Stones) did during that period of time. Again, popularity doesn't implicate not being rebellious.

He's late to the party.

Hip hop used to be that. It's an entirely commercial genre now that has been juxtaposed from it's origins of authenticity.

Hip hop isn't rebelling against anything. Trap is the new pop. It's a genre that has only gained influence because of the increased commercialization and accessibility to a lower denomination of listeners, which is why sheltered white privileged people like Fantano have taken to it in recent years.

There isn't really a genre right now that captures the struggles of the ordinary person very well, and it definitely isn't hip hop anymore.
>>
>>73632054
>considering the sheer amount of anti-govt/anti-war stuff

Literally means nothing. Sinatra had antiwar stuff. Being against the Vietnam War was literally the prevailing sentiment at the time. LBJ didn't run for reelection because of it. The Democratic National convention was overrun because of it and the election stolen. The county was split in half. It's not really a counterculture. It's like today with the Trump and anti-Trump. You're not countercultre for beig anti-Trump.

There's a bif difference between groups like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, And Jimi Hendrix and groups like Mothers of Invention, Captain Beefheart and the Velvet Underground. The former were very popular, mainstream musicians making music that went along with the popular styles and approach of the time and the latter were groups that although influenced by the former were radically different in their approach, aesthetic and style.

The hip hop people like Fantano think is "cutting edge and rebellious" is listened to mostly by tech bros and sorority girls where I live.

Arguably the biggest name in hip hop right now, Migos, collaborated with Katy Perry. Is that rebellious?

Hip hop represents hedonism, commercialization, pandering to lowest common denominator of listener, and staying with the bounds of what is popular, which is my most hip hop is centered around abusing drugs, self destructive tendencies, capitalistic propaganda, and political propaganda.

People on the fringes of society who are breaking new ground aren't listening to the same hip hop that Fantano is reviewing. People on the streets listen to local artists who you can only hear on third party websites and through social media in niche internal networks. The culture that hip hop promotes is rapidly becoming obsolete.

Wrong everywhere. Sinatra had antiwar stuff, but it's the same example as the one I gave of Metallica where it didn't mean anything. The anti-Vietnam stuff was NOT the prevailing sentiment until years into the war. Till the end of 67 you still had a whopping 48% that agreed with the war.

>The county was split in half.
You mean like Syria is split into many pieces of large factions? Like fuck dude I gave the Syrian rebels example for this reason exactly.

Yes, but the former rallied people for causes that were countercultural at the time, the latter had nowhere near that kind of cultural effect. It's impossible to have an effective movement of rebellion or counterculture if you aren't popular.

I can name artists that would be considered far more rebellious than stuff like TVU or Beefheart from that time because those guys are nowhere near the most experimental guys, but while those people were musically rebellious, none created giant waves of rebellion and counterculture.
>>
>>73632291

Of half the country is either for or against something it's jot really rebellion as much as it's opposing ideas. It's not rebellious to disagree with the government unless it's marginal. Example, it's not rebllious to say that Marijuana ahould be legal. That's a highky supported position even if maybe not the majority position. However, it's very rebellious to say that heroin should be legal; this is a fringe position that the overwhelming majority are against.
>>

Those movement occured entirely without them. They just propogated them and rode them. The beatles were making doodlely love songs by the time the war was well on it's way. The sentiment grew without them and eventually caught up to them.

Come on, all the "rebellious" shit of rock goes around the "drugs, sex and rock and roll" motto.

You rock-tards need to remember that all the big rock acts of the past were as hedonistic as hip hop is today, but, of course, in a time where society weren't as open.
>>
>>73632491
That's what killed rock, and that's what's killing hip hop. It went commercial and got popular, which is exactly what's happening to hip hop.

Hip hop is for white people who want to seem hard but haven't struggled a day in their life. It's just glorified party music now.
>>
>>73632429
>Of half the country is either for or against something it's jot really rebellion as much as it's opposing ideas.
It is when all sorts of protests and movements rise up from it. The "alt right" can be considered this to an extent as well.
>It's not rebellious to disagree with the government unless it's marginal.
This statement makes no sense. Might wanna look up what marginal means.
>Example, it's not rebllious to say that Marijuana ahould be legal.
It still is in most places since the establishment still has harsh punishments for it. But not as rebellious as it once used to be.
>That's a highky supported position even if maybe not the majority position.
Again, you aren't getting it. Things that are highly supported can be rebellious. Anything from US gaining independence from UK to Syrian rebels fighting off Asad's regime and ISIS to the Boxer rebellion.

The summer of love along with other moments in 1967 were literally when war sentiments started going downwards with I think the first majority of people being antiwar happening around that time based on polls.

They were over-exaggeration as far back as those NWA days, my man. Most of those west coast guys used to over-exaggerate. For what it's worth we have "real" guys these days. Shmurda is still in jail for his murder. Mane just got out. Kevin Gates is finally getting mainstream praise after being out of jail long enough to finally release a real LP.

Kek this is worse than saying "Social networks are carrying the torch of viscera and rebellion that TV used to and given up on"

It's the same shit in different color made to cater to as much people possible, just because people think that meaningless garbage that "potrays real life just liek it is" is the same as actually making a controversial statement doesn't mean something is rebellious. Funny how most of the time music that doesn't even have anything to do with issues of [the current year] is the one that changes a generation the most, since, this may come as shocking, most people listen to music for escapism.

Unironically this. Most concerts like Kendrick and 'Trappers' are filled with guilt-ridden young White adults and the West-coast scene only thrives due to bored White suburban teenagers buying their albums to listen and experience the narrative of a 'gangbanger'.

everything has been commodified to hell and back. It is not longer possible to even maintain the illusion of a 'counterculture' that exists in meaningful opposition to anything.

'popular music criticism' is not possible anymore, its ideology can no longer be believed in, not even as a comforting illusion. the concept of 'relevant' music was always inseparable from the commodity hyping cycle. 'rockism', 'poptimism', 'end of year lists', 'independent music', 'rock'n'roll', 'punk rock', 'the torch of viscera and rebellion' are all empty concepts lying squarely in the dustbin of history, no more meaningful than old soap jingles and discarded slogans. We have no culture of our own, only an undefined and all enveloping sense of loathing and unease. Lacking the sense of identity and grounding previous generations had, we clutch to worn music industry commodities, the endless repetition of memes, and vague ethnoracial resentments .

ehhhhh kinda more like poppy/mainstream hip hop is the most accessible music right now so people use it to send certain messages that are consistently apparent in music also pop has become straight up hip hop infused garbage

fantano is the most popular music critic of all time

inb4 lester bangsfags come at me

fantano has billions of views

less than 1000 people ever read a lester bangs or scaruffi review

it makes total sense that he is frequently discussed as he is and will continue to be the most popular music critic of all times.

All genres of music are capable of rebellious themes as well as fascist themes.

However rap music is the most highly corporate music in the fucking world right now, pretty much everyone in the world listens to it, to say that is the rebellious genre is fucking laughable.

It's like saying that paying your fucking taxes is rebellious.

Sorry mate, I don't think club banger number 266 ft. nu-Kanye and Kendrick is rebellious. Especially when it's sitting at the top of the charts until Club Banger 267 comes out.

What is it with these go with the flow dudes who listen to the same shit everyone else is listening to thinking they're rebels? There's nothing wrong with doing what everyone else is doing if that's what you want to do, just don't start thinking you're a fucking rebel for it.

Fucking Memetano I swear. Internets laziest music nerd.

Said prog-rock in the mid 70's.

Then came punk. Then came Kiss.

>However rap music is the most highly corporate music in the fucking world right now
Why? Why do you or any of the other idiots in this topic actually believe this?

Hip hop lost its top spot a couple years back. Outside the established for years artists like Drake, the majority of the world does EDM far more than hip hop. EDM is the corporate mainstay right now, not hip hop. Even Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber, and Ed Sheeran people with no history in such music have in recent years moved to EDM.

This whole "hip hop is muh corporate" doesn't really work anymore. It's just in that secondary "somewhat popular but the big mainstream thing" spot that rock music kinda fell into after the 70s.

>torch of viscera and rebellion
shit like this is why im glad i play keys, i can just sit there with my hat and t-shirt on while everyone else in the band talks about "muh expression"

Rebellion is not to be found in the sphere of music commodities. It only exists within the arena of violence and political extremism.

>there are tons of obscure intranets for cutting edge rappers in every local scene that only the most hardcore thugs know about and this is everywhere yet it is an extremely well-kept secret
Rapfags everyone. Name one """woke""" or """innovative""" rapper who everyone on /mu/ hasn't already heard of.

this is the only one song that was remade strictly for radio stations, but you can be sure there are lots of other death grips songs that get played on radio. their overall sound is very poppy, just a bit noisier that your regular hip-hop
I dont listen to radio btw

People in the ghetto usually don't have internet to pirate music, at least where I live. So most people do indeed buy music.

it doesn't matter how corporate rap has become. as long as a majority of parents hate it and the kids love it, it's rebellious.
