Hmm...I'd say crossover. It was between crossover and gangsta rap, and here's why the crossover gets the finger. Crossover country is a complete b*****dization of country music, a genre that has seen its fair share of good music. Crossover has forced me to implement a special rule for country: if it wasn't made before I was born, it's probably not worth it. Gangsta rap is a b*****dization of rap, a genre I have found very little value in. So, since crossover country (aka southern pop) devalues a genre I see more value in than Gangsta Rap does,

I've always wanted to to hire a female gardener to decorate my music room. Nothing better than tulips on my organ to brighten the room.

^ Yes, those were the days, kids, when ol' Dan was a regular here, and we had these sorts of highbrow, inspiring, deep philosophical discussions all of the time.
Sigh.

I really don't like it, but it's pretty darned harmless compared to the worst gangsta rap, the metal that glorifies pain & death, etc, and the angry, woman-hating lyrics I so often hear on the radio these days.
Well it ain't no surprise
That you'd turn me on and leave
It ain't no surprise
That you'd turn it around on me
I don't know why
You won't give me what I need
It ain't no surprise
That that bitch is leavin' me
That that bitch is leavin' me
Yep, she's just another one of your possessions -- there only to please you -- or to be killed when she no longer does so:
I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck
Sick.

How can rap even be called music? you can call it poetry all you want (hmm), but Music is definately not what it is. Music should be played by people. It gives a real sense of human emotion when music is done manually. Preprogrammed beats is just more evidence of how robots are taking over the world.
I would like to say something about punk though. It sucks. Just because rock music seemed unaccessable at the time of the birth of punk, doesn't mean that it should be accessable.
Disco is cool. I don't like it, but I do respect it.

Well, Nickelback suck and write the same song 30 times with different titles, and every time everyone seems to be fooled  As far as rap/electronic beats: I don't see rap as music. Rather, it is talking OVER music. The background beat, although usually very simplistic, DOES qualify as music, however, the actual "rapping" is nothing more than talking, although occasionally on beat (though much less so these days ....seriously they sound drunk half the time) As far as electronic music, well, we have electronic prog don't we? I mean, of course thats far, far different than the beats we're discussing, but the point is, music can be made from electronics, many bands are implementing them into their music nowadays. Techno and other elctronic dance genres can also be suprisingly musical

As far as rapping being just talking is concerned - in some cases this is true, but there are enough highly accomplished non-rap musicians out there (like Anthony Braxton or Steve Coleman) who will disagree with you on that.
