| There are many reasons why Hip Hop is so popular
world wide. One of these reasons is the fact that Hip hop is a form of
music that can transcend culture. Some will say it’s a skill others say
it’s a talent. The realty of this is Hip Hop is a mixer of both. Hip
Hop will always be here with us because of it diversity, any culture
can adopt it to their experience. Hip Hop unlike other genres can merge
into other forms of music. It can be mix with rock, country, reggae and
many others. Hip Hop is also easier to get into than other
genres. In many under develop nations where people can’t afford music
lesson or instrument. Hip Hop is a way they can express themselves
without using a lot of resources. All it takes is an open mind and a
pen and a pad. Another factor that makes Hip Hop so popular world wild,
is it ability to spread a message. A Hip Hop song has more word than
most other genres of music. That makes it easier to get a point across
and to inform others. With the prices of computers going down and
software getting better plus the Internet it look like Hip Hop will
have a big independent and international movement coming soon. No one
can ever predict what direction Hip Hop will take in the future, but
indications show that there is a good chance that Hip Hop will be here
for a long time to come.
DO YOU AGREE WIT IT OR NOT???

| yes it is, partly because of those things, but also partly because it's what i call "instant satisfaction music", since when you hear a beat you instantly start noddin your head to it. You don't need to "get into it", so to speak. The same reason why people read less since tv has been around, because in order to be entertained by tv all you have to do is sit in front of it - no effort needed - whereas to be entertained from reading you need to concentrate, which requires effort. Enjoying hip-hop requires arguably a lot less effort than a lot of other types of music. I don't think that this diminishes the value off hip-hop, since it's my favourite genre, but that's just how it is | | | |

| I don't want to be the enemy here but a large reason for it's widespread success is pophop appeals to the simple minded people, in a sense the musically uncultured. Joaquin is right in a sense, it's easier to enjoy, instant gratafication. If your flicking around on the radio and you have a choice between joy division and flo rida most people are going to go for flo rida because his music takes less effort to listen to. Simarly people also listen to it based on the stigma that it is cool. People want to be ganstas and have bling and it's a genuine reason why people listen to it, anyone who says it's not a reason is very very wrong.
I would like to clarify this little rant is based around pop hop as it is the reason for hiphops world domination.... Please don't shoot me | |

| Hiphop is also quite young compared to the other types of music.
I am not sure that hiphop will remain that much longer. At least not under the form our predecessor used to prone..
Hiphop has now become a financial/marketing asset because it is the main current among young people and it is fairly new. (you couldn't do that with rock because rock is older).
Hiphop is also passing from generation so it's kind of a great asset for marketers. They can reach fathers and sons. In the meanwhile it's also devaluated from its core values : ( I am thinking about the song commercial from Flo-rida selling teddy bears or something akin to that)
Hiphop used to pass a message close to reality. Then it sold dreams. That's when it began to be depreciated I think.
I think, the accessibility to those computer ressources gonna make hiphop trivial. I don't think it is helping that much. But hey, I am a part of the movement lol. | |  | |

It's the same "cherry picking" b.s. like saying "Hair Metal" ain't rock cause everybody knows it sucks. When you take a few people from an era in a genre and then codify and classify that style of music as what these four or five or even twenty people did then that's the begininng of the end. Once the corporations and educational institutions get their greedy little hands all over something it stops being a style of music "of the people" or even "for the people" and becomes music "people used to listen to". But, if Billboards tracking of music sales and classification according to what music vendors call a style of music so it will sell is any indication, Hip Hop is by far the most popular form of music. | | | |

Well you could say that they aren't different generes but then I can claim everything with a rockbeat as rock which is completely wrong. | |

I think a definition depends on what the majority of people in the world call something. It's just language, not music. Language depends on what most people call something. I have never seen Pop-Hop as a catagory in a music store. I'm not sure what percentage of people in the world use the term, but I don't think it's enough to warrant a section in a music store. If it doesn't then most people in the world think "Pop-Hop" is Hip-Hop, if so, then at least for most people, purely from a linguistic viewpoint, what we are calling "Pop-Hop" is Hip Hop.
I can tell if one particular piece of music is relatively similar to another piece of music but what the majority of people in the world choose to call it is not something that has anything to do with my analysis of the relative similarities of two pieces of music no matter how astute my analysis is. To say that a particular piece of music is not Hip-Hop you would either have to have a list of things that must be present in a composition to be Hip-Hop or a list of things that cannot be present in a Hip-Hop composition. I'd like to see that/those list(s). I'm just saying I've never seen such a list for Hip Hop, I've seen it for Jazz, but Jazz is quite dead. I've seen it for Blues but Blues is quite dead. I've seen it for Ragtime but Ragtime is quite dead... | | | |

| It is ONE of the most known genre but the most people know Hiphop as a violent music style and not as a Culture ..
Also the "begining" hiphop-dudes think they're real if they listen to 50 cent , Soulja boy , Lil Wayne , etc , etc .. <= That's all commercial hiphop-killing bullshi- ..
I just stick up with OLDSCHOOL Hiphop , because that's real Hiphop ; couple examples : Nas , EPMD , Pac , NWA , LL Cool J , Jurassic 5 , Wutang , etc .. | | | |

I don't agree. Pop, club and dance music are the most popular genres, mainstream hip-hop is just in pop's shadow. You don't really see many 'hip-hop' songs in the charts, on TV, etc, do you?
Yeh that's what I was getting at, in the end commercialised hip hop is just pop music. | |

| I don't think so. I think trance, house, and techno is easier to make. No vocals for the very least. If it has vocals very little. I really hate those youtubers who try to rap, if your song doesn't have any emotion and you spatting nonsense why bother? | | | |

| Wtf man. We're talking about which genere is most popular with the general public and what the hell are you going on about techno being easier to make, you clearly havn't tried. No chorus no verse just variation after variation, do you know how much work that is? | |
