Reasons Why Metal is Better Than Rap

The Top Ten
1 Metal is real music

In reality, pretty much anything is better than Rap.

Instruments is played. Rap is crap.

2 Most rap songs are about drugs, alcohol, and sex

So true. I quit Eminem once I learned what he was saying. In fact the only rapper I listen to is KJ-52 because he wraps about praising God. Not about lil wayne or Eminem type stuff.

To make things true, a lot of metal songs have violence, but a whole lot better than listening to songs about marijuana.

Mostly modern rap does. Listen to older rap.

Exactly it's true

3 Rap is fake

Because of the computers? Yeah.

4 Eminem is the only good rapper today
5 A lot of Metal songs have great meanings

The only meaning of rap is drugs.

6 People who listen to metal are smarter

According to psychological studies, metal fans have a higher mean IQ than rap fans. Smart people tend to prefer metal because many metal songs are characterized by virtuosity, deep lyrics (Ronnie James Dio, for example, wrote in metaphors and allegories), and themes that appeal to many smart people (fantasy, history, questions of existence, environmentalism ...).

This was when I was wondering whether or not I should leave the metal community. You guys are really dumb. Most of these "reasons" are not real, logical reasons for why you would favour one music genre over the over. Instead, you guys turn to lies and 'Metal is the best' or 'Rap is the worst'. Your preferred genre of music does not tell you how smart you are, it tells you what your personality's like. People who favour rap are generally sad about life while people who favour metal are generally angry about life as well as sad. Nothing says that one genre makes you smarter than the other.

My sister listens to pop and she's REALLY smart. She could hold a political position if she wanted to. I'm a metalhead and I'm smart, too. But to say this means that everyone that likes rap is a complete dumbass is pretty mean.

Why is it only people who listen to metal are smarter? There are lot of genres (good rap, R&B, funk, funk soul, rock, old pop, classical, jazz, blues, dubstep, electronic soul, etc.) that people are listening to these are smarter, not only in metal.

7 Metal is the best music genre

As someone who really likes metal, I disagree. Then you can also say Rap is the best music genre. It's an opinion, not a fact.

It's one of the best, the sole best.

Best: metal, rock, Christian rock, Christian metal, punk rock
Worst: rap, pop, R&B, dance, K-Pop.

8 Metal doesn't talk about sex or smoking weed.

Glam metal? Stoner metal?

9 Rap is a terrible genre

I like rap. I don't choose rap songs that are terrible like modern mainstream music in the modern pop radio. Old school and underrated modern rap are not terrible.

I personally hate rap but to say it's an outright terrible genre doesn't justify anything.

Only in modern mainstream rap. Underrated modern and old school rap are not terrible

That's only opinion. Not fact.

10 Teenagers who listen to metal are more likely to behave in school than people who listen to rap

This is what I meant about the lies. I used to be a huge fan of rap, before I started to like other genres of music as well. I was always (and still am) well behaved at school. Metal didn't change anything about me, to be perfectly honest. I get good grades in certain subjects as well (though overall they're crap no matter how much I try.. I'm just dumb). The only real things bad about me at school really is that I'm so dumb and ''shy''. No music solves the ''shyness'', though metalheads might try to claim that metal heals social anxiety next.

I knew a kid who played flute his Junior year of high school named Trent who got arrested. Sad thing is that he was a fellow metalhead. But every musician has had some domestic troubles at least once in their liftime, no matter which genre.

Hey! I listen to good rap. I am well-behaved in school. This item of the list is just only your opinion. Everyone has tastes in music.

I'm a 12 year old who listens to metal and I behave properly.

The Contenders
11 Metal can add rap to songs, rap can't add metal

Metal and rap don't mix. What you think is metal mixed with rap, is most often punk mixed with rap. Linkin Park do not have metal in their music at all. Bottom line: neither metal can add rap nor rap can add metal on a regular basis.

That means that rap is clearly superior, as other genres of music use it.

12 Rap creates gun violence

There have been more rappers involved of something getting shot than Metalheads getting high.

13 Rap has bad words

A lot of metal has cussing like Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" or Slipknot's "People=S***, Five Finger Death Punch cusses a lot, but none say the n word which is racist. I still wonder why rappers use it even though most are black (they're discriminating their own race).

What kind of bad words?

14 Rap is perverted
