This may seem like splitting hairs, but it's an important distinction.As a teenager I liked metal/hardcore/etc. (Korn, Rammstein, Iron Maiden, blabbedybla) and that was mostly because I was rebelling against my peers, who most liked Hip Hop. In turn, they were listening to Hip Hop (Wu-Tang Clan etc.) because they were rebelling against the adults/society.In hindsight, they were more rebellious than me, because Hip Hop was the new edgy thing. Metal was old. When I was a teen, nobody worried that metal was corrupting anyone, but boy did people fuss over the Clan. People who had listened to a lot of the same bands when they were teens as I did, or at least had long since gotten used to the idea of loud crass rock.Nowadays all the fuss seems to be about pop music: Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, etc. All about the pornification of the youth.</blockquote>
