TC buys Jesus & Mary Chain t-shirts at Hot Topic and listens to country music. He thinks millenial, gentrified, Nashville chicken rip off joint Howlin' Ray's is good chicken.

Shit taste

lmao what. Haven't been inside a Hot Topic since middle school. I don't think I've even seen one in 10 years.

Listening to country is bad? Plenty of good country out there my dude

Howlin Rays is considered by many to have the best chicken in Los Angeles. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say their food was anything but excellent.

Also, none of those qualifiers you used to describe Howlin Rays has anything to do with the quality of the food. I think you're trying too hard dude @brestugo

Can't spell crap without rap!

But yeah as others said, you grew up. Same can be said of most genres "rock isn't as good anymore"

Big part of it is nostalgia.. I know most of the music I listen to has been released over a decade or two ago.

Compare Migos lyrics to Wu-Tang lyrics and come back.

Compare Kid n Play lyrics to Kendrick Lamar lyrics and come back.

Rap has always had both artists with lyrical substance and artists who make party records, regardless of whatever decade it is.

There's rap out there that you will like, you just don't have all the free time you used to have in middle school to go out and find it, so now instead of just admitting you're lazy and living in your own little bubble, it's easier for you to just say "Lol rap sucks" and avoid admitting that you are wrong.

Rap has always been and will always be as terrible as it is great.

So you're just gonna ignore the 90s guys rapping about snorting cocaine and smoking wet and angel dust? You just gonna continue living in your bubble and following your false narrative?

Three 6 Mafia are about the only dudes from the 90s talking about snorting cocaine and doing dust I've ever fucked with and that's some gritty memphis shit.

And I'm not really talking about rapping about it I'm talking about how many rappers actually do that shit now.

I don't think the best rap is worse today than it has been before. It's just that "pop" music has more hip-hop influences now, so that means more bad rap is in the forefront.

I still think most mainstream rap, and music in general, is crap, but it is funny when some complain about all of the bragging and showing off in today's rap when freaking Rapper's Delight had that.

Obviously not all of today's _____ is bad.

If you haven't noticed already, rappers lie about almost everything they sing about, especially drugs.

Kendrick Lamar, 2013
You may have certain artists portraying these trends and dont really have that lifestyle and then it gives off the wrong thing. And it becomes kinda corny after a while. Its really about keeping hip-hop original and pushing away the corniness in it.
https://www.bet.com/news/health/2013/10/18/kendrick-lamar-this-is-one-thing-i-will-never-do.html

Future, literally The Godfather of "drug rap" saying he only raps about that stuff because shock value/it's what sells
Because I feel like thats the number one thing everybody likes to talk about...It's the number one seller.

Gucci Mane, 2016
I've been sober for 3 years.

Here's an article of rappers turning to sobriety

Tyler the Creator and Lil Yachty both are straightedge.

No its not. In the 90s people rapped about being hardcore criminals and drug dealers. Right now people just rap about being drug addicts and partying

casual radio listeners think the shit on the radio makes up the majority of rap music. Lol it's barely a fraction.

then you have those people who pick it up as youngsters because they liked Eminem or whatever, then they drop it when they get older and start associating with people who look down on the culture as a whole.
