i love the fact, imo, and maybe i am wrong, but i just love that we had the moment where rap blended with heavy rock giving us such gems as 311, papa roach, limp biscuit, korn (who are not bad up until their last two or so albums), linkin park, etc..., as a thing, a time that was there and is now gone. i wasn't a fan of the era. now i feel it has reared its ugly head again--i remember i spoke of this before somewhere around here--in the fact that rap music has blended with indie music. pitchfork is always putting out rap artist props, and that stupid wutang 2.0 band who love making us well aware that anti gay is still alive and well among the genre. i just don't like rap music, like i don't like country. both are not music to me. the whole indie as a crossover medium, is just as bad as when country music was used by taylor swift to become a femine bombshell gabillionaire.
