Is this an academic question merely for mental excercise.........
...or something that pertains to the real world but using "ten dollar words"
to ask it?
If it's what ChrisD said, yes, I still like hip-hop despite most friends/family being confused about a person my age doing so (& despite numerous discussions about me not liking 99% of the crap on Top 40 radio, MTV and the other preprocessed/focus-grouped hip-hop shit that the Big Music Corporations push).
fyi: I would also buy more rock music if there was more GOOD rock music to buy. But luckily I didn't really get into 60s/70s psychedelic and folkish rock back in the 80s ("that crap is too old and no longer relevant!"
), so now I have a huge set of "new" music to explore.
