Is hating hip-hop racist?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Of course not. Is it racist to hate Tyler Perry movies?

For the record I've found that if a type of music is a target frequently and has a large Hatedom, it's a given that I hate it too (hip-hop, metal, country, pop and the garbage that 20RP12 likes).

[Bigby]

You're joking, right?

No, it isn't racist to hate sh**tty music. I'm a southern white man and I HATE modern country music.

You basically exclusively like a few incredibly specific types of post-punk music and you think everything else is garbage, right?  That's not racist, you just have ridiculously idiosyncratic taste in music.  You probably know why better than anyone else. 

I would just say, maybe give non-post punk music a try.  Maybe hip-hop isn't for you, but don't seem open-minded at all.  And, if you're going to compare an entire genre to a single hack film director, you make yourself look like an idiot.

No!  I love black people!

There it is. Always need to slip it in there at least once.

Anyway, no. I myself am not the biggest fan of hip-hop or rap, but I can listen to it and get into it. Freedom genre for sure.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Depends on whether your hatred of hip-hop is based on racist feelings or beliefs.

[angus]

you make the weirdest polls, dude.

[Oakvale]

I assume most people who say such things are racists, yes.

[Simfan34]

Did someone say this to you?

[Marokai Backbeat]

These days everything is everything.

There are racist reasons for disliking hip-hop but disliking hip-hop is not inherently racist.

[All Along The Watchtower]

A lot of the people who hate hip-hop are racist.

Yeah, basically this.

I don't really listen to hip-hop, but my lack of taste for that genre is a source of mild embarrassment rather than pride.  I'm sure there's a lot of great art being produced there that I'm missing out on, but the world of arts and culture is just too big to get everything.  At some point you just need to prioritize your favorite genres, and that shouldn't necessarily be taken as a slam against other forms.

Correction: incredibly specific types of post-punk music, as well as Blink-182, which is all sorts of hilarious. But yes, "open-minded" is not exactly in BRTD's vocabulary.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Yes (racist normal)

Rock music is actually my favorite.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Racist or not, its garbage and I will never naturally enjoy it.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

In theory no, but I lose respect for anyone who categorically rejects such a diverse genre. In practice...

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Clearly. It's not just coincidence that it happens to be the one genre of music invented by black people.

[Paul Kemp]

Hip hop is the rock and roll of the 21st century.

What if you generally hate hip-hop/rap except when used with rock or another genre, e.g. nu metal?

Then you are an angst filled white teenager from the late 90s, but not a racist.

Are you white, but have dreadlocks, wear baggy jeans and live in "the hood"?

Because you might be Jonathon Davis.

[TDAS04]

No.
