Rap. In the genres beginning, the rapping was probably about something worth listening to but now...not so much. The rap I've heard  is degrading, vulgar, and inapproitate overall. The cursing, the speaking about drugs and bragging about his (Insert swear some people use to describe women.) and talking casually about gangs and guns. How did mankind came to this? Instead of the popular music consiting of music and lyrics with a meaning its just repitive lyrics and eardrum shattering "beats" as the kids say. I honestly believe that this sort of music is  negativtly influencing teenagers and the younger community. In my school, people throw around degradtory slurs, disrepecting girls and teachers, and openly speaking of sex and drugs. Rap just makes me feel ill.

"Let X equal the quantity of all quantities of X. Let X equal the cold. It is cold in December. The months of cold equal November through February. There are four months of cold, and four of heat, leaving four months of indeterminate temperature. In February it snows. In March the Lake is a lake of ice. In September the students come back and the bookstores are full. Let X equal the month of full bookstores. The number of books approaches infinity as the number of months of cold approaches four. I will never be as cold now as I will in the future. The future of cold is infinite. The future of heat is the future of cold. The bookstores are infinite and so are never full except in September...” -Proof, David Auburn
