What happened to the good old days, when Dance, Rap and Metal were always hand in hand, it was given because of similarities you liked one you liked the others. The communities got on great, there was peace.
Seriously, look back to early rap, and tell me there isn't metal influence in it, as for dance, well more ambient and trance as opposed out and out acid house happy hardcore. But still we all need to unwind and it was great for relaxing... then something happened... at some point, I'm not sure when exactly, it all fell apart, you liked one but not the others, and if you liked the others you were a freak and not as true a fan as everyone else. Listening to Prodigy, K7 and D.E.D. recently just made me think about it. Then looking at the cultures, then at the fans, it just seems wrong the way every things gone. Like originality died because no one wanted to associate with the other genres for fear of being proven nothing but sell outs or mass market trash.

It all bcame secularised, the people became fanatical and suspicious of each other, it all just followed human nature.
I know, listening to Blondie and their rap inspired songs.. I informed some rap boys about this and they started on about how it wasn't "real" rap because they were a punk band. (ok, that was paraphrasing, insert racial sluur on Blondie and remove the word punk for a better picture). They didn't even know the roots of their favourite genre of music, let alone some of the original artists from the 80s.
But, I think it was the movement of from one generation to the other, when the kids that started getting into stuff that didn't remember the origins, the problems began because, perhaps to a reaction to insecurity that they didn't have to same knowlege of music as other people, they became insulated in the music they identified with most, musically and culturally, and so separated themselves from others to make themselves seem more 'credible'.

I've had something like that happen to me before... like once while I was unconsciously and quietly singing Siouxsie and the Banshee's Peek-a-boo (a largely hip-hop sounding song) to myself in the lunch line and some kid in front of me said "You know you're white, right?
My reply: " neutral Yeah... "
His reply to that: "Because you're singing a black song"
neutral confused
I was this close to saying "O yea, Pi-zeek-a-boo, G! Siouxsie be mah gurl cool "
*Sigh* I can see why some groups would want to stray from previous techniques, but it is pure and utter bullshit that people have resorted to stereotyping music to specific races...
