Does the stereotype of a genre completely effect the real message an artist could be trying to get across. In class we talk about the song Night of The Living Baseheads by Public Enemy, which is song that is a protest to the drug epidemic. But does stereotyping this genre of music with things such as crime and violence effect their overall message to those who don’t normally listen to rap. The same can be said about metal music being associated with satanic worship, meanwhile there’s christian mental bands. Automatically putting this genres in a box does that effect how someone will listen to the music, I picking and choosing what they want to hear rather than actually dissecting the lyrics.
