Has Hip Hop/R&B Replaced Rock as the Dominant Music of Youth?  

i fought the new movement from rock as long as i could. but just like metal, because of my kids and grandkids insistance on playing it around me it kind of grew on me. i have no idea how. but i will say that for some reason the youngest generation always sets the trend where music is concerned. so, yes its in all the movies just about, and is the main music played right now. yes it seems to be taking over the music industry.

Hello, hello! Over here in the States Hip Hop Is More popular than Dance and R&B. I think it is in a close tie with Rock.All this started in the 80's. I remember my friends and I were noit into rap, that's what it was called back then, so when it was played at dances we sat and waited for the pop and rock to play. By the 90's Rap/ Hip Hop came of age and by 2000, it was just as popular as rock. Rock and Hip Hop are in different categories but there isn't a huge fight. There are many who love both. There isn't a war like with Punk and Mod? Everything is cool.

It all depends on the place where were you. It's not about changing the music or moves but the environment of your place. But now i can say that the most playing music in the bar is "HOUSE music"that you can really dance with.

that kinds of music are in of the youth today. they find it cool because of up beat sounds. i don't think they can ever replace the old music before, they are improvised it, making it more cool and danceable music. its hard to replace those music that has trademark, no matter how many new sounds we are hearing nowadays, old music will always remain in our hearts and mind that will keep on coming back from time to time. have a nice day!

I'm not really sure but personally as a youth I listen more on R&B and Hip Hop rather than Rock coz I find Rock songs too emotional or too intense already. I just want a happy mood.

I think so. I ama fan of rap and hip hop and have been since I was a teen.It didnt seem as popular back then as it is now. Now almost everywhere I go all I hear is this type of music on the radios, headphones, and cars of everyone!

I donr see it as a problem, it is just what is hjot right now.

I do not think any type of music will ever be replaced. Rock has had it's time to shine, as has country, metal, and pop. Why can;t hip hop take over for a bit, too?
There will always be millions of people who love all genres of music and that wil never stop.

I would say that it looks like it. Today's popular music or at least the music that I hear on the radio in my area is pretty bad I'm not going to lie. Rap is definitely becoming a pretty popular genre and their are a lot of famous artists using an instrument called autotune which is a program that automatically fixes all the problems in rappers voices.
The reason a lot of rapper's have to use this is because they have no actual talent and can't hold a tune when actually singing. A lot of rap sounds the same and their lyrics are usually about how much money they have and a lot of derogatory speaking about women. I think that popular music will always be changing because a lot of society likes to be with the newest fads.
The only thing is that music greatly influences who people are as a person and I feel like our next generation isn't going to be as intelligent due to listening to rappers brag about how much money they make and how many cars they own.
