Music

I now listen to a LOT of rap and hip-hop. I've decided that the greatest liability of this music is also its greatest strength. The pernicious beat, so uncreative to a classical musician, serves really well to calm down disruptive children!

Ah but listen to the lyrics. Think of the beat as a mallet on a drum, beat by a generation that is saying "YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME!" Never before have we had such an ignored generation of people who were raised in daycares, permitted and encouraged to live in the world of their rooms, even eating there sans family and now have discovered that though their parents were products of a stable world, they chose to live for themselves, and now their adult children can find no stability. They are frustrated and angry and jaded. Listen to the lyrics.
