Why is rap/R&B the socially except music to listen to in public?

Question

Whenever I am at the gym or hanging out with an acquaintance or in a public setting they always put on rap/R&B. Why? Girls especially. I hate it so much. Why do people think its the music everyone wants to here? What happened to rock?

Answer 1

I think it's offensive and I put on old skool metal personally.

Answer 2

Depends...what kind of rock music? It's a very wide genre.

People usually play rap/r & b or hip hop songs because many of them end up on the "Top 40 hit list" or something like that...

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the style of music, but what's most popular... I'm sure they would play rock songs too if everyone liked it.

It also depends on where you are located. Some people accept more rock in different areas....

Answer 3

Because of the beat and the flow of the music. I enjoy all types of music and would be just as fine listen to The Fray or something.  I love rock as well, but it's usually better for an upbeat surrounding when in public.

Answer 4

Stop hanging out in the ghetto.

Answer 5

I just like the beat, as long as the song makes sense. Most rap songs don't make sense at all. But I prefer rock anyday.

Answer 6

wat makes u think everybody wants to listen to rock?

Answer 7

It really isn't but it makes good workout .  It helps pump the blood and you want to sing along.  Rock is good also. Not acid rock.

Answer 8

I don't think any music should be played out loud in a public setting.  Not everyone likes to listen to it.  By the way, if I'm exercising, I'm not into listening to men or women wanting to get their groove on, cry about the person who just dumped them, smoke pot, or shoot people.

Answer 9

where are you, comptom?
