This petition is so idiotic it doesn't deserve to continue on, I say the owners of petitionspot should just delete this. Classic rock and hair metal are better than rap how? Classic rock as in psychedelic rock was all about drugs, remember the band Iron Butterfly who made that song 'In the garden of Eden' but instead pronounced it a different way cause the lead singer was under the influence? Name one rapper who was ever under the influence while on the job. And Hair metal, good god, what do you know about this genre? Sex, drugs, rock n roll, groupies, doesn't in anyway connect with the rap you hear on MTV today? At least gangsta rappers in the earlier days were rapping about violence, money, and drugs as a means of survival, somethings that no suburban kid such as yourself will ever understand. Learn about the music you support before making them look so innocent.

You know, it truly sickens me when I have to see people like the petition creator here lumping all rap together as being all about money, sex, drugs, and material possessions when all this subject matter only exist within gangsta rap, crunk rap, hyphy rap, and whatever other mainstream rap genre there is. You obviously fail to see and understand the originality of Hip Hop with its political views, struggle, and the 4 elements of freestyling, mcing, djing, and graffiti arts. Before you go any further with your close-minded and unbiased judgements, go and listen to an entire album from The Sugarhill Gang (the ones who helped introduced rap to the public eye) and tell me where drugs, sex, or blings are mentioned. You my friend sound like just another kid who's here to defame rap just because your own music isn't getting any recognition, well let's see how much you know about your own music. Didn't classic rock of the 60s-early 70s mainly had songs about drug use? And hair metal, did you know anything about what went on within this genre? All those hair bands cared about was the money, fame, how many groupies they can get, doing drugs and drinking liquor, ever notice why the majority of the songs these hair bands put out were so watered down and cheesy? Because they didn't care too much about the music, they just wanted what came along with being apart of corporate rock. So before you decide to say stupid things like 'rap has damaged society', research on your own music first and see the similarities that both classic rock and hair metal's controversy were in its existance during their time compared to gangsta rap and modern rap. Hip Hop 4 life

how exactly is hair metal so much better? sex, drugs, and rock

Here's a brief definition of hair/glam metal - glam metal has hedonistic lyrics, often focuses on sex, alcohol, and drugs. So how exactly is this 'so much better' than lyrics about 'money or drugs' in rap, which by the way I must point out mainly and only exist in gangsta rap rather than the whole population of rap? So you want to pat yourself in the back that you made a failing petition to 'end rap music', but guess what kid? Your little hair metal music ended like many many years ago, and nobody is going to be stupid enough to revive such crap like this. This make up wearing, use of amount of hair spray, image focusing garbage is not music and will never come back.

hair metal is for queers and wannabe teenybopper metalheads. how can you support a music genre where the band members dress up like chicks and only cared about their hair rather than the music? motley crue, van halen, cinderella, guns and roses, they're all no talent cock suckers.

ROCK/METAL = SATAN WORSHIPS, SUICIDES, SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, DEATH, DEPRESSION, RACISM, ANGER, STUPIDITY, BRAIN DAMAGE, HEARING PROBLEMS, HATE, ANTI SOCIALNESS, AND INSANITY! ROCK/METAL = NOISE, NO TALENT REQUIRED! SCREAMING, BANGING ON POTS AND PANS, AND MAKING RANDOM LOUD NOISES FROM A GUITAR ISN'T TALENT, IT'S JUST PURE ANNOYANCE! ROCK FANS/METALHEADS ARE DEVIL WORSHIPPING RACIST FU CKS WHO LOVES THE TRENCHCOAT MAFIA AND THE COLUMBINE SHOOTING, AND FURTHERMORE, ENJOYS COMMITTING SUICIDE AS A HOBBY! ROCK/METAL IS DEAD! ROCK/METAL'S BEEN DEAD FOR ALMOST 12 YEARS SINCE THE RISE OF POP, THEN RAP AND RNB! FACE IT YOU FREAKS, ROCK/METAL SUCKS MAJOR COCK AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE DEAD CAUSE NOBODY CARES FOR ROCK/METAL, AND NOBODY CARES FOR YOU FREAKS, SO FOLLOW ROCK/METAL'S NO 1 TRADITION AND COMMIT SUICIDE ASAP! RAP IS A MILLION TIMES SUPERIOR!

You're stupid. Hair metal doesn't talk about money and drugs? Shows how much you know about a genre of music you claim to love. Not all rap are about money, girls, and drugs, that's mainly what the teenyboppers call

Glam metal is the best. I don't know what's wrong with you stupid niggers.

Interesting, everytime I see a rock fan trying to compare their music to rap, the only thing that they are only able to come up with is that "they play instruments" and that "it talks about real issues". Now I don't know what makes them stupid enough to believe the filth that comes out of their own mouths, but I am here to explain why indeed rap is greater than rock: 1. You want to talk about real issues? Alright, For as long as I have compared the two different music genres, I have heard of more songs in rap that actually relates to real life issues than I have from rock. Songs like 2pac's "Keep ya head up" where he talks about life can be hard, but just hang in there and eventually it'll get better, Black Eyed Peas "Where is the love" where it relates to our society right now hell bent on war but in reality we should just all have peace and not continue to fight over stupid shit, Ludacris f/ Mary J Blige's "Run Away" where they discuss about kids living in a difficult household that runs away, and Eminem's "Mosh" where he was telling people that voting was important, and even though the video might seem more of an Anti-Bush campaign, the message was loud and clear, "VOTE FOR THE RIGHT PRESIDENT"! Now compare those songs to let's say AC/DC's "Highway to Hell", Metallica's "Enter Sandman", Motley Crue's "Girls girls girls", and Lynard Skynard's "Sweet Home Alabama". Now granted that all these four songs I have never heard of, I wanna know from a rock fan's point of view how songs like those are supposedly related to real life issues, and furthermore, teach you anything in anyway? Next 2. Let's talk about rockers being talented because they have instruments. Ok, anything
