When you look at a rap concert the overwhelming majority of the fans in the crowd are white.
However realistically speaking alot of the stories, theme's and motif's of hip hop dont necessarily relate to us.
Now imagine if we came with a genre that can encapsulate that same audience. It would rival rap or even surpass it.
The question is what would it be, what would the sound be, what would the theme's be, who would pop it off. It dont think it should be singing or pop based, shoot it may even be a new form of communication where lyrics arent even necessary
Talk to me brehs
No and ironically racism is the reason why. Most people, especially the youth of each generation, tend to gravitate towards music that defies the morals and artistic conventions of their parents' generation.
When rap blew up throughout the 80s-2000s it was the most rebellious music possible for suburban america to latch onto because there is nothing the white majority could have been more afraid of than poor black folk from the hood rapping about their experiences.
As consequence, mainstream america has become extremely desensitized to the struggles of impoverished black people (word to r/Chiraqology, NoJumper, etc) almost to the point of parody. Now in rap it's almost expected for its creators and audience to be apathetic or even mocking of the genre's original intended audience; see Tom McDonald's new song with Ben Shapiro. If they dropped something like that in the 90s they would have been pressed for sure but no current rappers would dare to do such a thing because nobody cares about the integrity of the genre. Hip-hop has been completely b******ized by meme culture and this amoral, overly accessible chimera of a genre will be impossible to replace in the foreseeable future.

I'm expecting regression rn, this stalemate will go on for a long time cause we still have classics to go back on, and the undeniable SoundCloud generation is obsolete, drill is thankfully dying, what I mean is theres few ways white people can control the genre except kill it to replace it which will take a long time cause we still have heavyweights going strong and years and years of dominance. Its going to be a long drawn-out era

Shoot alot of the megastars of this generation have white mothers and were raised in a white household.
