Rap is getting replaced with techno/trance?

When I was growing up rap used to be the poo. Radio played eminem, 50 cents, TI and many others. Now radio is full of trance and techno... When I moved to US, everyone used to make fun of Europeans but it's seems US is slowly drifting in that direction... When I heard Armin Van Buuren on 95.1 the other day I was like wtf is happening?

I understand that everyone has different musical tasts and preferences, like for example I much prefer the Singer/Songwriter and Indi genre to pretty much anything else, but that's manly because I enjoy my music being more lyrical.

 

but out side of Jay Z and Macklemore there isnt a single rap artist I'd waste my time listening to, now that doesn't mean there aren't other ones worthy out there, but just in my opinion right now there isn't.

 

Electric and Techno music is greatly based on being original and being different from everyone else, like Daft Punks latest "Random Access Memories" making Disco cool again, and who would have ever thought that would happen again, Skrillex created a new sub genre altogether with Dubstep and and many other musical groups have adopted it and his Bass drop. it's just a more progressive music right now then anything else.

Not that I'm a big dubstep guy, but Skrillex certainly had nothing to do with the creation of the genre.  He had a role in popularizing it in the States, but dubstep predates Skrillex.

You would willingly subject yourself to Macklemore, but shun every other hip hop/rap artist? Yikes.

They're not replacing it with techno and trance. I would call it electronic-influenced pop-music. Techno would be stuff like Adam Beyer, Victor Calderone, Sven Vaeth, Richie Hawtin, etc. They wouldn't play that stuff in a million years. And as for Armin's debut on Kiss 95.1, that's a pop song from a once-respected trance artist/DJ. He opened up his set at UMF in Miami with Clarity for crying out loud. Teeny boppers loved it. I felt like throwing up. And don't even get me started on Avicii's "Wake Me Up."

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own.

      Interview Tillis with Jordan Rodrigue on team building. Interesting

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan
