/r/Music

I really don't get it. To me, it's mediocre, bad singing/rapping, uninteresting, nonsensical/misogynist texts.. I can only see an interest in the production value of what 'they' do, but I don't even think that those people make their own beats.

Edit: I've read all the answers so far, and thank you all. A few things I have to add:

This post is by no means derogatory to the people who enjoy their music. It doesn't come either from a perspective of ' i have such great tastes, this is peasant music'

The rap/hip-hop world is a little bit out of my grasp, hence why often, I just cannot rely to it. That's why I have the point of view of an external observer, who is curious to understand the how's and the why's.

That being said, I do enjoy a lot of rap artists, modern or old. Tyler the Creator is one, Asap Rocky is another...

I'm not looking for particularly deep or meaningful or skillfully musicianship when I'm listening to music. I enjoy a lot of un-serious artists as well

I was just curious, because those modern rap artists are like super-popular, revered by millions. And I feel alienated from that. So I'm interested in understanding the narrative behind it: what do those people stand for? Why did they become famous in the first place? What do they represent for people who actually enjoy them beyond the hedonistic and fun aspect? When I'm talking about the artists I really like, I can get really passionate about it and talk about music for hours, beyond the 'to each their own'
