Why is rap so vulgar?
I don't like rap for a variety of reasons (lack of musical progression, instrumentation, harmony, etc.), but that's personal opinion.

What is absolutely not debatable is how vulgar rap can often be. It's not even a novelty, it's part and parcel of the genre.

Why do you think rap as a genre relies so heavily on vulgar themes?

It is supposed to depict the harsh parts of reality, I guess.

To show their own superiority.

There are plenty of other genres of music that has vulgar lyrics. This isn't something exclusive.

Rap usually associates with lower class people and thugs, and we all know what their antics are.

Un-hun.

So the song I was exposed to expressing just how low a particular set of spherical organs are swinging is all about the struggles in life.

Still don't get it.

Well, there's always gonna be bad music, in every genre.
Edit: You really like nitpicking huh.
Edit2: They used to play songs way worse in my old college. Like. I don't wanna get banned, so I'm not describing it.

This is true, and I have thought of this.

I mean, NIN has 'Closer', and hell even Lou Reeds has 'Walk on the Wild Side'.

But those songs are both more lyrically complicated than a vivid depiction of sexual activity. Closer details how the protagonist abuses sex in his search for something holy. Wild Side is a sad tale about Andy Worhals' girls.

The rap music I've been exposed to this afternoon had no deeper meaning than "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is awesome and I do it a lot".

Yeah, if you want to, you can let me link 2 songs that aren't rap, but more of House music that is way worse on your profile page.

I figured you were looking at the bigger picture, but I felt that I should mention the obvious anyways to get it out of the way. Now, the music you heard this afternoon is just your usual no talent cash-grab artists. You know how it is - it appeals to the kids because they think it's cool and ♥♥♥♥. And if the music is popular enough for one large crowd, it'll sell and make it's way around like a cancer.

rap is among my most hated genres. I can't see appeal in it at all.

Why do I have the feeling you're talking about Lords of Acid?
