Yeah, Bob Dylan folk

I see your point, but I'm talking about popular artists that came before the baby boom generation, not artists that only appealed to certain lifestyles

That might have more to do with the availability and ready distribution of music at the time though...

That was a different breed of hippy though. The non-bohemian hippy movement produced psychedelia, which was an astounding accomplishment considering the situations in which it arose.

There's a reason that the movement that musicians like Dylan were a part of was called Folk Revival. It was what we would describe today as a retro music scene.

The context you said that under was a means of belittling rap artists though.

And psychedelic music was usually blues or folk based with what at the time was a modern twist.

Further, I don't think Dylan just appealed to certain lifestyles. He was an immensely accomplished lyricist, and reached out to a wide audience.

Yep, and he only began to appeal to a massive audience when he turned electric and went all rock & roll on us. Before that, as I said, he just appealed to a certain clique

I meant to say that, among other things, this is what it did to rap, etc etc. I just didn't delve into those "other things"

Whether that's true or not, I don't see how it's relevant to what I'm saying.
