Actually maybe our attitudes aren't unlike the PMRC hearing in the eighties. Back then they were going after the likes of Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, and even Madonna. So you whippersnappers aren't telling us anything we haven't experienced. Indeed the generation that was trying to ban eighties rock n roll had to endure their parents attempts to ban rock n roll in its infancy. In other words, it never ends.

Okay, I'm off my soapbox. Nobody cares, carry on

Obviously there are great artists - I'm not saying there aren't. But ask anyone who isn't a fan what Black Metal is about, they'll say "devil worship". Ask the same question about emo, you'll be told whining teens. Ask about hip-hop and the answer will likely be guns, bitches and hoods. It's just how it is.

I realize this is the pot calling the kettle black.

You're not so much actively racist as just cringe-inducingly problematic but you absolutely refuse to see it and that makes it worse.
