Why do Chads love rap/hip-hop so much? My Chad roommate loves Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, etc. The vast majority of the music he has on his phone is this shit, sprinkled with some country songs and odd pop songs that make it on there. All they rap about is getting high, making money, and having lots of bitches. Do they like rap because they want to live vicariously through the rappers? Or is it because it parallels their life in a "black" way instead? Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with his music of choice, but I just find it fucking strange. I mean, if you were a rapper, your target audience is not a bunch of suburban rich white kids.

It just comes with masculinity. Was never into rap as a kid but after leaving bitchhood behind, it just started to feel right.

Because it's cool and Chad only does what's cool. Liking a song because of its meaningful lyrics or it's musical composition is faggy because that would mean that you actually had to think about why you like the song, and if there's one thing Chad doesn't like to do, it's think.

Because its rhythmic composition is one of violently aggressive hypersexuality.

"chads" probably have pretty high testosterone. Rap is dumb black people fueled by lots of testosterone. Like a repressed ape like retard.

It's popular, and to a Chad, the idea of having a hobby (such as music) other than lifting, clubbing, getting high and fucking women is totally alien and gay.

>>11440391 /mu/ here. 90% of Pop hip-hop is not rap, do not confuse the two. Most Pop hip-hop follows Pop's extremely formulaic structure, relying on watered down and repetitive EDM-esque beats and borrowed but catchy choruses. The skill of the rapper can be put into question, the subject matter of the song tends to be irrelevant, because the goal of the song isn't to invoke emotion, inspire thought, tell a story, or simply convey the artists emotions (not that songs that don't aim to do this are necessarily bad), they're made to catchy and sell. And that's what they do, that, and using the media to further market these things. A better question to ask would be why anyone likes music designed to sell to a lowest common denominator and be catchy. And that question answers itself. >Implying Chad knows The Weathermen

It's all most like they forgot to do those songs and just left in what scraps that had. NLDW didn't have any home run hits, but it didn't have any real flops either.

modern rap was designed by major corporations to keep poor/black people too ignorant, criminal and materialistic to start a socialist revolution (as many groups in the 60's/early 70's were trying to do)

>>11443096 lel no Chad is just some ripped 20-something year old who lives in a suburb of a decently sized city. He sees cool trends on TV and on the internet and takes part in them. Chad does not actively contribute to the "cool" scene, instead only taking part in it. The "cool" scene is created by fashion designers and musicians who live on the coast. /pol/ is more correct that you'd think

This kind of relates to my theory on why a lot of black guys, especially the "thug/hood" type, are so confident. From like, age 7 they start listening to rap, which is LOADED with all these positive messages. By positive messages, I mean shit like "I'm awesome, look at all my cars, guns, money and women, I'm dangerous on the streets, other people respect me," and so on. If people are inundated and immersed by that constant stream of messaging, then it stands to reason that it would affect their personality. Yes, this is highly stereotypical and generalizing, but you've got to admit, it d make some sense.

>>11445614 It's absolutely true. There's a heavy element of pumping the ego with rap. That's why a lot of kids in elementary and high school that listened to rap had a tendency to be more aggressive and confident. I highly advise robots to give it a shot.

Because they use it to motivate themselves while working out, because they grind with women to it, and because it's all they listen to, and all their friends listen to. They drink to it, fuck to it, work out to it and dance to it. It's basically a vehicle for them to use rather than a listening pleasure.
