For me I can't really get into new age music at all. Something about the production style and clean playing makes me bored when litstening to it. Everything about it just makes me stand more adamantly on my position. Besides that I don't really hate any other genres I've tried exploring.

Or you could try some Tom Newman

If you want stuff with a positive message go listen to Main Source or De La Soul. Lupe Fiasco just released an album dealing with social problems in it's entirety. The whole bling era that the genre is associated with is dying out anyway. A lot of hip hop also has decidedly a rather neutral stance in it's lyrics.
To answer your question though, a lot of rock for me is not really my taste. I can't stand metal or anything too noisy, just as you said in another thread you posted. Funk is mainly what I enjoy, for it's melody and infectious groove that isn't too hard on the ears.

Admittedly I don't know enough hip-hop to make that assertion, but even the little I've heard has nothing but titties, bitch, ass and that sort of stuff. Certainly sounds misogynist, at least to my inexperienced ear. I mean, you could not say the same about AOR, prog or even funk, but I think if one genre is in the firing line about this it is certainly hip-hop.
