So normally I'm pretty open to other subgenres of Hip Hop even if it may not be my cup of tea and don't really have a preference for it, but there are some that just piss me the fuck off. I usually try to keep my preconceptions to myself but some subgenres fully deserve whatever bashing they get and more for how shitty they are and for what they stand for.
Anyways to the genre that deserves to get pissed on is nerdcore, but wait I'm not referencing Prince Ea, or Canibus type rappers. Hell I love Blackalicious and many of the topics GOG raps about would be considered nerdy, no I'm talking about inane shit like MC Frontalot or Megaman videos on youtube and people who actually listen to that shit and take it seriously and have it on their ipod, now I don't care what genre you like or listen to. But when the crux of the genre is "Oh look here no n iggers I'm safe from violent black people music, hahahaha megaman can rap and is that a Halo reference I see?" And when they don't take it as the joke it's supposed to be and refuse to deem it as vaguely racist with its inherent undertones than I get pissed.
But really it's like somebody took a shitty 4chan meme and infused it into thousands of artists that plague the genre with Weird Al esque music.
The main beef is that it's a bastardization of the genre where people refuse to take it seriously or even respect it and treat it as one big parody, but the source isn't from the beloved genre but by people out of it and mocking it. Even if you try to make an argument that they're being self deprecating, but you can't because of how foreign the creators are (no I don't mean because they're white) and of how it's potraying the music ( not taking it seriously and treating it as one big joke) it kinda comes off as a minstrel show (yeah I went there).
Really what's the reason for listening to this genre if not for the "joke" other than the fact that it's "safe" because it sure as shit isn't because of the crude instrumentals, terrible vocals which mimics that of bozo the clown's, and horrid lyrics.
The worst part is that if you didn't "know" that than why seek out this putrid genre in the first place which is one of the most obscure genres of Hip Hop and actually takes time to look up.
Really I hate when I'm discussing Hip Hop with other people and some doofus says I DON'T LIKE RAP but I do like *posts shitty unfunny Mc Frontalot video or Megaman video anything related to said genre*.
