I listen to it. If a song sounds good, I listen. No more no less. I don't care who's singing. I am never going to meet them, But why not enjoy good music that produce. So, yeah I would date someone that listened. How does what they listen to effect who they are?
Country isn't my favorite, but if I were you, i'd be saying something like anyone liking country music is a redneck. See how flawed and ignorant that is.
And as some said, not all rap is about drugs, hoes, *******, etc. It's diverse. You can rap about anything--and some rap has very good messages.
Now alot of rappers do focus on that stuff, but it's not the music. People are just different now. Everything seems to be about drugs and sex to many people in media. Non-rap has that.

I listen to rap music extensively. I have far from a one track mind. I'm studying for a Masters degree and making all As so far. Plus I'm kicking a&@ at my job. Rap is much more than a one track gig.
My favorite rapper of current times, MGK gives inspiration to rise out of a tough situation.
Rap is a beautiful diverse genre, if you are willing to go beyond what MTV and BET show you and try to call it real rap. Anyone who has your small opinion of rap is really the one with a one track mind.
People that are fans of the genre seem to be trapped in simple one track minds and it drives their daily lives. I personally write off any female that engages in the music. How could we possibly share the same mental or emotional wave lengths if she is involving in such elementary behavior. What are your experiences?
There are all different kinds of rap... even Christian rap.
To lump everyone who listens to the genre into one group is short-sighted on your part, along with judgmental and wrong.

I can't imagine rejecting someone just because of their taste in music. If they had, as you say, a "simple one track mind," then I would. But I don't think rap music has some magical power to turn otherwise complex, interesting human beings into morons.
EDM. The less lyrics the better. I prefer to mold my own experience and mood based on the melody
Now see, I could point out that electronic dance music is a staple of club culture, and club culture is pretty ugly, in my experience. Most clubs are not happy, fun places. Most clubs are full of horny, half drunk guys with aggressive attitudes all strutting around trying to impress women, often by degrading and humiliating other. men. That is one of the reasons why fight in clubs are so frequent and so violent. But did the music cause that? Not likely.
