For the most part this thread has just been bitching about scene kids and easy target pop singers. This thread hasn't really been about music.
Rap is great music. Aesop Rock, CunninLynguists, Darc Mind, Fugees, The Roots and Wu Tang are great rap. Listen to those artist and tell me that there is no emotion. For electronic just check out Lamb, Massive Attack, Portishead, UNKLE, Amon Tobin, The Books and Burial. They are all great "button pressers" and create real music. For R&B throw on some Hil ST. Soul, Jaguar Wright, Jill Scott or any of the older R&B classics. That's great music right there. Some of them write their own music and the ones who don't... who cares? As long as they feel what they are singing about and help you to feel it too. There is just way to much good music out there to be closed minded and ignorant. Also hating on a genre of music because of scene kids is just dumb. I don't like scene kids either, but it's not like scene kids just pop out of thin air when I play Pavement. So why do I care if music I enjoy is being played by people who will just move along to something else in a year or two.
