How come rap is so popular and not rock in western society?
Is it because aging rockstars refuse to retire and make rock look like a genre for old people while most rappers are young and relatable?

If it's not on the top 40 it's not going to be spread as much. In this day and age the simple and easy to predict rhythms of pop and rap are king of the mainstream.
It takes a clear passion for the alternative and complex rhythms of metal. The "scene" is still going strong though. Warped tour was pretty fun this year. Not as many people are going as I remember though... And it's being withered by the liberal leanings that permeate all of the artistic environment.

Rap speaks more directly to the ego and millennials are suffering a narcissism epidemic courtesy of social media.

because rappers actually talk about cool shit on a good beat meanwhile "rockstars" are 70 year old grandpas screaming "HELL YEAH BABY ROCK AND ROLL TONIGHT YEAHHHHHH!!!!!" while slamming their face on their guitar as hard as possible.

[Chris Brown:]
Waves don't die

Rock bands fill stadiums and arenas. Rappers not named Jay Z play at night clubs.

People with jobs and no felonies listen to rock, in its various genes. Rock musicians make their money on tour, because their fans are able and willing to pay to see them and enjoy the experience of listening to live music.

Rap is only more popular now because dindus and broke millennials can stream it for free on their phones. It's cheap, disposable garbage that people throw together with bootleg software on their Macbooks. Almost none of the rappers out today will have any sort of following in 5 years, while a good rock band will enjoy success for decades.

This.

I never pass up the opportunity to see live rock concerts. Sounds so much better live in person. I have been and seen rappers live and it's shit in my opinion.

This is coming from someone who appreciates both rock and rap music.

Nirvana killed rock and roll, and what it means to be a rock star. So, niggers stood up and filled the bad boy void.

That's also true for rappers.

rock fans only want to see old bands. thats the problem because old bands dont have the stamina to do tours often. and rock fans are stubborn faggots who absolutely hate anything that is new

Confirmed, rap just does not translate to live music. You can really tell how talentless most of these guys are when all the producers arent there to make their shit remotely listenable.

Warped tour is for degenerate sk8er faggots

Both are mostly degenerate shit. I listen to the good from both. However, electronic music is the new classical. The grand composers of the future will be producers/djs.

People like to dance. Women like to dance. You can't dance to rock, and the rock we have now is just noise.
Crossover country stars are the closest thing to accessible white popular music now.

Because it's EDM with a vocal performance. Have you totally missed what your generation listens to?

>How come rap is so popular and not rock

Hint: one requires you to learn to play an instrument, the other is about re-arranging 3 second clips of other people's music.

It's actually pretty weird that rap is broadly popular, since it's so culturally specific and requires a native level understanding of English.
