mm i probably don't like enough that would qualify for these genres but i do like some music that incidentally happens to look/sound at least vaguely influenced by rap/hip-hop or perhaps even their influences as well

is it unsettling for you because of the sound design, or is it lyrical content? there are lots of elements to that sort of thing, and in my case it's definitely a toss-up between the two but it's usually both, worse if it blends together so much that it just feels stale

but i listen to a lot of music with commonly-questioned lyrical content, not really because there's something in particular i'd endorse, but for a more specific artistic rationale of experiential expression and a particular kind of human catharsis-- the rap/hip-hop you're probably thinking of might not really qualify super well for the experiential expression i enjoy, though

i normally am ambivalent about country-adjacent music, because it's extremely rare for me to relate to the subjects or feel represented by them, and the sound/texture of it just tends not to be easy for me to find interesting things to think about or feel something about...

which i would've claimed if i actually thought that's all it was, but honestly i don't really think it's stale or uninteresting. i think i just don't listen to enough to know what kind of country music i would like. if we were acquaintances irl and you had a playlist in a car or something then i would've totally been happy listening to it, it might actually even really be something i'd enjoy. not you specifically, but since you enjoy country, it seems plausible to use that kind of hypothetical scenario for illustration

i'm listening to heartbreaker so far, and i actually have a lot of undigested thoughts-- there's actually a lot lyrically interesting things going on in phonetic rhymes and lyrical subjects. as expected i don't really understand it exactly but i'm intrigued :> i actually would like to learn what specifically you look for and find in these songs

the "if they sound good, i like them" rationale is pretty much the same thing for me :>

with rap/hip-hop, i imagine this might partly be a difference of age and culture, because to me it's not necessarily about whether the topic is drugs, violence, [adult attraction/entertainment], et cetera-- but instead it's more precisely about how music addresses it, and it's for those "how" parts that i actually would generally agree with you and it's why i don't really have many interests in the genre cluster found there. and even then, if the music explores a sincere "undesirable" expression of a topic, it actually is helpful to me to learn about what that's like to people and see if i can understand people through that

i might be wrong to assume what underlying influences have you feeling wary about them, but i think it's healthy to not really fixate too deeply on avoiding these subjects in media. it actually blinds you a little if you're focused on some form of "moral purity" or anything like that, and i have online friends i know who are pretty vigilant about what they consume in a way that sounds maybe similar to how you sound about your tastes

i'm not that vigilant when it comes to music as a result of artistic and experientially humanistic value, but i'm a little more wary when it's part of a narrative or some kind of purposeful rhetoric

no, those topics just makes me uncomfortable. i don't really care about the "moral purity" thing with music, tbh. not that the music is bad, i'd just rather not be uncomfortable listening to it, y'know? i'd prefer to be happy with what i'm listening to rather than not want to be in the same room as the music

oh, i guess that's fair actually
it's sort of just an instinctual impressionistic thing for you, i guess? it sounds like it's not really something up for discussion though so ig it'll be left there, but still, thank you for sharing! it's good to get to learn about what that means to people and how they form their tastes
