What if the new neighbors are even worse?

It's a relief to be rid of my bad neighbors, but there is always worse out there. It could be a young guy who blasts rap music to impress his loser friends. I hope not!

Rap isn't music...that would suck!

@Jimmy2016 It has rhythm, but very little melody. And it's not memorable- except for a vague recollection that it was awful.
@Jimmy2016 Old people originally said that about rock and roll, too.

@bijouxbroussard I can see that being true about some of the early rock and roll based on three chords.
@SW-User Right, some of music we [b]now[/b] consider classic rock was disparaged as [b]noise[/b] by people who didn’t understand or appreciate it. So it was with jazz, swing, and R&B. Especially the “mainstream” culture trashes it until they discover that it’s [b]marketable[/b]. Then they find an artist who will make it palatable to the masses. In the past that person was Elvis Presley. More recently, it was Eminem. You’d be surprised how some folks hated rap until Eminem. Wonder why ? There are actually better rappers.
