Why did American white teens chose memerap/trap over EDM/dance music?

Specifically going by Yas Forums here as thankfully I'm not a Yank.

flexing has been an essential part of american culture since way before trap came around, so that helped

White guilt

When you say "memerap" is that actually distinct from "rap"?

The entire genre of rap is a meme, all rap is memerap, as it's objectively inferior/cheaper music. It's our degenerate plebeian Yas Forums that has tried to make us believe rap is an "essential" genre and that if you don't like it you must be "narrow-minded", a "redditor" who is "born in le wrong generation" and there's probably some racial element to it too. Rap music has no staying power. All of rap is just a neo-rockist sub-genre of top-40 pop, with a "urban" paint job. This music doesn't stand the test of time, it's a fad. That's why rappers are discussed about like fashion. Image/fashion/numbers sold are actually considered when talking about them. Rap is just a really cheap/lazy form of music anyways. The majority of rap beats are just stealing (MUHH "SAMPLING") another artist's music, looping it over a generic drumbeat while someone "raps" over it. The "technical aspects" of rapping are not hard at all. That's why there's 14 year old white girls on YouTube uploading themselves flowing with ease and speed, dropping multis like it's nothing. But because they don't fit the image of a "rapper", no one would take seriously. I've listened to it all from backpacker shit like cLOUDDEAD and Atmosphere to the "golden days" of Public Enemy and Eric B. and Rakim to instrumental stuff like J Dilla and DJ Shadow to the 90s with Nas and Mobb Deep to the CLT approved A Tribe Called Quest and Digital Planets to today like Kendrick and Kanye. All rap is meme rap. All of it.

nice essay bruv, don't really have the time to read it though lol

I'm British and the Americans should thank their lucky stars that their kids didn't pick EDM/dance like ours did. Fucking hell that whole wave of utterly soulless Avicii-styled dance music made me want to kill myself. Every time I see one of those 19 year old babyfaced "raver" cunts I want to punch them repeatedly in the face until they are black and blue.

This shit infected our clubbing scene too and now I can't go out for some drinks without hearing repetitive generic UNCE UNCE UNCE music fucking everywhere. Jesus christ make it stop. I'll take some Roddy Ricch and Dababy over cookie cutter house shite any day.

b.. b.. but Clean Bandit

he did not type that in 43 seconds...

This tb.h

because they're not autistic

Eurodance was decent , not sure why European EDM went to shit

Americans mostly don't go to Dance clubs , it's why there was such a huge reaction against Disco but Michael Jackson was worshipped as he had a sense of "Authenticity" about him

Americans have never liked EDM. The whole carefree, hedonistic communalism of the EDM scene doesn't mesh well with American culture.
That and EDM legitimately sucks shit.

I just looked up "communal" in the dictionary and I don't understand the way you used it.

dictionary.com/browse/communalism
>1 a theory or system of government according to which each commune is virtually an independent state and the nation is merely a federation of such states.
>2 the principles or practices of communal ownership.
>3 strong allegiance to one's own ethnic group rather than to society as a whole.

Do you just means "carefree, hedonistic, [nights out]"? Do americlaps not get together to have fun?

BASED. """""Rapping"""""" is basically sped-up spoken word and despite them calling themselves "poets", they're vocabulary is a string of slang words, which makes rhyming so much easier. At least with Metal, bands progress their sound during a song while Rap just switches from one beat to another mid-song and calls it "prog", like Black Skinhead from Yeezus or Kendrick Lamar's work at times. Rap is also unironically the most cringe-inducing genre. They literally have a bunch of teenagers dying their hair, acting "depressed", and dressing up as anime characters. These same kids then flaunt their money and talk about how dangerous they are. Punk wasn't even this cringy.

hip-hop is too digestible to be taken seriously. Other "black" genres, such as New Orleans Jazz, are what represent african-american culture, not fucking rap music. That's a reason why Black families would attend a Jazz venue while white people would be at a Travis Scott concert. These rappers are basically preformers, not artists.

cuz they're tourists and not able to lurk some good edm

classical is more digestible than hip hop

damn you got me, I guess the curriculum has changed and they teach hip-hop in elementary now

pretty woke post, really

they probably don't even have to teach it at all. Just give them a sample pack and an 808 and they could program beats already, you stupid dipshit. Can you drop your address so I can beat the fuck out of you?

what are you getting so angry about?

how tf does that work? Who in the fuck would give you their address so you can "beat the fuck" out of them? You're not talking to a masochist

Look at you avoiding the question. Drop your address, pussy.

Because Americans hate anything melodic that doesn't let them compare their tiny dick sizes (because they're inferior racemixers)

based
woah based
holy fucking based
I really hope the tide is turning against rap, I hope by 2025 nobody listens to rap at all

Because America is obsessed with blacks.

218 5B 9170 Longyearbyen, pack for winter and I'll see you soon, okay sweetie?

Literally this but may I add that whites in America love black music but prefer not to associate with them.

Agreed. Internationally it seems like music inocul cult took a shit when Dubstep and then Trap became big.

this but unironically

Automotive lobby and lack of public transportation curb club hours preventing a scene around late night clubs.

>teens
>choosing on their own what to enjoy

no, teens are told what is cool and they follow it

Anyone who wants to teach classical or hip hop in elementary schools is a fucking dork and needs to become transgender to escape their failed manhood.

Think about it. If you had Berghain in the states, everyone would drive home at 7 am and kill people. Now with Uber this is less of an issue, but it's still an issue. People don't want to spend $18 dollars going to and getting home from something.

Rap seems to be the only thing that's able to get anywhere independently. Everything else is processed down by labels into shit and force-fed to you

This is ridiculous: American teens listen to both.
Teens love EDM

Modern EDM/dance is shit. I like trance a lot though.

>Avicii
>Raves
Choose one mate

The UK has one of the best raving scene in the world alongside belgium and netherlands. UK bass, DnB, jump up and techno you guys have all the good stuff.

EDM-EBM Synthwave and Gesaffelstein shit is a thing

just ordered a ticket to Svalbard. I'm bringing 5 people over, see you on Saturday 28, March. Hope you're ready to die

Yeah go over to Yas Forums right now there are still people crying about "mumble rap" being on the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack instead of "synthwave". Electro is just as much as thing as rap still

shucks, I'll be inland for spring break by then

where in inland?

Synthwave belongs in that game, as for mumble rap, bruh idk

>where in inland?

techno and house are from the midwest and are still very much alive in the underground chicago and detroit

I'm assuming they're referring to A$AP Rocky, I haven't heard the song and don't know if it's been released yet, I just know that none of A$AP Rocky's music is what I consider "mumble rap", just because it is rap music released in the last couple years does not automatically make it "mumble rap". And for a game that is supposed "cyberpunk" I think a rap song or at least something more aggressive would be much more appropriate than some droney atmospheric wank.

>posting "ironic" emoji meme
Shaking there Sven? Stop avoiding the question and tell me where you're going to stay in Inland, you fat pussy. I'll kick your ass either way since I already know you're address.

This but also more sluts. It's easy to pretend you like something when it gets you laid.

Synthwave isn't just droney atmospheric wank

Ok yeah my definition of synthwave obviously isnt that same as yours but whatever..The point is I don't understand why people are freaking out over the soundtrack already when the game hasn't even been released yet and we've only heard a couple songs. I haven't paid attention to Grimes since Visions but I thought her song was alright

True and based. Oh, and fuck niggers.

Stop trying to act tough on an online music discussion board. It's like you're attempting to emulate a school bully, and still failing

We love electronic music and the club scene on either coast. Disco was obviously huge in the 70s. So why didn't that disco scene progress into a proper rave culture?

What holds progress back in America time and fuckin time again? Flyover/Trump country. They actively resisted disco music and club culture (i.e. Disco Demolition Night) as music for faggots and degenerates. Rock and metal is the only music that connects with the average Midwest and Southern sisterfucker. They've embraced hip hop to an extent, purely because it "makes them feel like a badass." That is Cletus's whole purpose in life, really. To be a "badass." Rock, metal, and rap do that for him as he cruises hickville in his rust bucket 78 Trans-Am looking for jailbait.

EDM and Dance Music is just as black as hip hop you endlessly retarded foreigner

EDM and Dance Music was invented by black people. You're just as much of a black worshipper no matter how much you pretend Eurofags didn't just steal all their music from Black Americans lmao

A. trends are fleeting. The EDM craze and current Trap craze are just trends, not real subcultures. Trap will lose popularity soon enough before a new trend arises.

B. EDM blew up big for a while, but it was also bafooned just as quickly as nobody wanted to be associated with the nightclub Jersey Shore club gold chain wearing too much body spray douchebros who live in dance clubs.

This. For Foreigners wondering what this about, watch the movie Gummo. That is a dead on accurate portrayal of Midwest life in the US. Could you imagine those people going to clubs? Lmao. Progressive trance just isn't a good soundtrack to their lives of killing cats, huffing paint, and molesting their sisters.

>music I like is progress, music I don't like is not progress
