D&D 5E Altering Drow Culture.

I once pondered a setting where the Gods were based on Music Genres.

Drow worshiped Rock. Wood Elves were predicable.
D&D World Tour?

I vote for Dwarves being Metal.

Halflings are pop. Beiber Shortfoot.

Half-orcs are funk

Gnomes are techno

High elves are beatniks

Dragonborn are country
 

I dunno man. This is more like Cop Rock. This isn't just burning it to the ground; this is salting the earth.


Okay, I have to admit ... now I kinda want to see a campaign setting with glam-rocking Drow that burst out into song. Bonus points if they are 80s hair metal.

I can just see it now.

DM: You see a a group of Drow approach.

Party: Oh no, what do they do.

DM: They whip out their instruments, and the leader begins singing, I count the falling tears ... they fall before my eyes ...

Party: NOOOOOO! Not Cinderella! We have to kill them before they hit the Nobody's Fool chorus!

Now I want a battle of the bands, with one rock band representing each elf subrace. Difficulty: the band must have been active when the subrace was introduced.
 


I bet these millennial drow are more progressive and don’t discriminate against who they make a slave. It didn’t matter that dwarfs are the best miners they will fill their quota of humans even if the new slave ran a nail salon in waterdeep. Equal representation for all. After all stereotyping is wrong.
After all, Cyric forbid, someone must have been offended.
 

Yeah, but then how is #1 edgy boi Drizzt going to be cool if he's rebelling against sex, drugs and rock and roll?

"Whatever, Mom! I'm going to church and buy slacks and there's nothing you can do about it!"
This is absolutely the vibe in the Sojourn series anyway, so I dunno if that changes anything. It really does have this "I hate your dumb orgies mom, I'm going to church!" thing going on.
 



Aragorn is a big square too.

That's the 2 most iconic rangers in fiction so I guess it's scientifically proven: rangers are big squares.
Gimli or Boromir would clearly be more fun to have a beer with. Come to think of it, so would Bruenor or Regis. Wulfgar sounds tedious.

Hell, Geralt of Rivia would likely be a more entertaining companion, now that I think on it.
