Goofle: It's hard to fault his taste, mostly because he listens to so much that when he listens to something you think is garbage, you're kind of like, "Well, he likes so much music, of course he's gonna like a proportionately equal amount of dreck." I will say this though: his taste in hip hop is so, so, so ****ing nerdy and white. Probably because he's the whitest person ever born.

I'm not whining here, but I don't really understand this. Maybe the stuff I REALLY like goes along with the nerdy white backpacker type, but I also like a lot of non "****ing nerdy and white" Hip Hop.

John Wilkes Booth: With how much he talks about hip hop, you'd think he'd be an expert, but he really just seems to be a guy who listens to all the 90s gangsta rap he probably listened to as a kid.

Fetcher/Kayleigh: It's been a while since I heard her talk about music, but her taste seems to revolve almost entirely around music that she listens to when she's on drugs.

Frownland: It's pointless to call him pretentious since he's proud of that fact (which I find to be highly commendable), but I get the feeling that when he's older that his taste will grow to encompass a lot of the music he currently looks down on.

Vanilla: I have no problem with her love of mainstream music, as I love a lot of the same stuff, even if I'm not as into it as she is, but given how much she loves Judas Priest and has professed to like Manowar when I recommended them to her, I'd love it if she came into the metal section a bit more so I could shove down her throat all the trad and power metal I know she'd love. Might even find some stoner metal for her.

Spoiler for I bequeeth to you...:

You're a nerdy white kid in his early twenties who's probably never held a spray paint can in his life and may or may never have even worn a backpack. You're not a backpacker, and calling yourself one is poseurish. You're just a hip hop head.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpacker_(US_slang)

Quote:

In US urban slang, a backpacker is one who listens to backpacker hip hop (alternative hip hop).[1]

In the 1980s, backpacker was a slang term for a graffiti artist who always wore a backpack containing his music collection and graffiti equipment. Typically, the music collection would consist of local alternative hip hop artists. The term gradually came to refer to someone with this musical taste, and now has almost nothing to do with graffiti (although certain "backpackers" may participate in graffiti "tagging.") It later became a derogatory epithet for alternative hip hop.

There's no reason to call yourself one other than to piggyback on the positive association with an all but dead subculture.

I don't consider myself to be either. It's just a label that goes along with nerdy Hip Hop fans (which is why I said it), but used incorrectly as you explained.

I was simply just trying to say in my original post that I listen to a variety of Hip Hop, and dislike many "nerdy white Hip Hop head" artists/albums.

Batlord: Seems to like a decent variety of stuff based on the several years of posts I have seen from him on this site, but I think it's fair to say that metal rules everything around him. That's all well and good, and I definitely don't have an issue with it. I don't quite understand the ICP thing. Sure, you like them, no issue there. But it's not like they are worth championing.

We share a respect for Steel Panther music videos, so it's all cool.

There's something about their unique brand of nonsense that pleases me to no end, and even if they're inferior as a hip hop group, they can make some top shelf pop (even if their fans don't want to admit that they could be associated with pop).

Tell me this song isn't going to get stuck in your head for the next three days.

Hey, I was lazy.

Love those videos! I've become quite a rap fan in the last year or so. But definitely love my mainstream, indie pop/rock and metal. You would have loved my playlist as a teenager. I was a metal freak because all my friends got me into it.
