EDM. The less lyrics the better. I prefer to mold my own experience and mood based on the melody

Not all rap music is about hookers, drugs, and booty shaking.

Well, I have to question why you scold rap for its references to drug dealing/use, when the EDM culture has been having a love affair with ecstasy, and all manner of drugs, nearly since it's very beginning.

Sure!
Rap doesn't just include foul mouthed "thug culture" it pretty diverse.

Difference between drug use and drug dealing, which fuels much of the underground criminal activity. Also drugs aren't prevalent in lyrics as often as the Rap generalizations I listed.

The answer is no. Rap is crap that denigrates black women.

What fuels the criminal activity?

The drug users, or the drug dealers?

Why is it okay to use drugs, but its not okay to sell drugs?

Why is it okay for EDM culture, but not Rap?

Because it isn't in the lyrics as often?

Why date someone who's hopped up on speed and E, reaching for the lasers in a hot sweaty mess while listening to EDM, but not one who's sitting around smoking a blunt, listening to Rap?


I'm not even a fan of modern rap. Most of it is garbage, to me. I just don't understand your problem.

A) Cartels, gangs i.e drug dealers
B) There is no financial benefit in drug using. Drug dealing is centerpiece of organized crime
C) EDM doesn't preach violence and materialism
D) Yes, furthermore the artists and their fans commit less crime
E) Percentage of drug users in EDM is far less than Rap I.E Europeans that only drink

Perhaps a better question is "would you date an individual who expresses singularly ignorant ideas about how you can narrowly pigeonhole hundreds of millions of fans of a particular musical genre?"

I'm gonna go with "no."
