And when you put a word like "cool" in quotation marks, who are you quoting? Certainly not yourself. Who and/or what makes it "cool"?

Also, what is it? You say "anything to do with the rap/hip hop culture," but you obviously know next to nothing about that culture... What are you picturing when you refer to it?

That's a lot of questions, I know. And I have more. I just don't get it. I mean, your favourite football player is Randy Moss. I don't get it.
I am talking about the majority of the country when I say "society". Rap/hip hop is what sells the best, it is what is on t.v., it is what the majority of young America listen to.

I was referring to it as "cool" just meaning that it is what most young people listen to. It is the most popular music in the U.S. right now...no question.

When I refer to rap/hip hop culture I am referring to how the majority of those rap/hip hop stars portray themselves. They have a certain attitude and look which is copied by young Americans.

I play the Randy Moss thing for a reaction a lot of times since I get called a homer a lot. I think he is an incredible football player, but I can't agree with everything he does.
