i came in here ready to disagree but he made a good point i see what he’s saying.

If rap is overstimulating reading is overstimulating lol I get there’s a beat too but cmon lol

He makes a good point but overstimulating is wrong word, it's more 'this isn't as easily accesable for a wide mainstream audience.' I feel this is why Gunna is so succesful as of recent, you know what you're getting - a nice melodic beat and a nice melodic triplet flow you can tune in and out of, you're not missing much if you miss any bars the same way you would listening to Jay Z. A lot of mainstream fans just listen to the actual music underneath too and less lyrics. I don't think it's a coincidence that the more commercially sucessful rap became the less lyrical it became.

Overstimulating makes it sound like autistic people are having meltdowns just by listening to rap

I'd argue though Taylor is unique that she appeals to both breadth (wide mainstream audiences) and depth (hardcore cult fans like you're referencing) - you can listen to Taylor while not doing a poetic a***ysis and still be a fan. A lot of rap is for it's own culture - you have to dumb down /tone down the subject matter to appeal to everyone.

Overstim is the wrong word what he's refering to is something being too unfamiliar and taking effort for most people to enjoy

I’m ashamed to be a zoomer
wtf is this, and a black man saying it too smh

Depends on what your listening, but I mean, if your playing your music loud as hell with the bass turned up to 10, any type of music is overstimulating. Your music is probably just too loud

Did you even watch the video? Sounds like it went over your head

Na yall just dumbasses that can’t read or write

I actually didn't watch the video, but damn, I just wouldn't get it huh lol? I'll actually watch the video

miss the rage

I don't mean it like that but if you watch the video you'll see overstim is used in a different context

Guy in op is kind of being a smartass, no one thinks that deep about simple lyrics but I know what he means.

Bruh is there actually one person that ever said they found rap overstimulating. People deadass make up problems to get angry at imaginary people.

Is listening to music from a different culture now overstimulating?
You can just listen to the beat, flow, cadence and enjoy the rythem without understanding every bar.

The man speaking is american. How are you in 2025 unfamiliar with “”hiphop culture”” after its been very present in american society for at least 30 years?

this is ragebait at best

Its not overstimulating but it is unfamiliar for people that are outside that culture, it's still possible to enjoy it it just needs more effort and wanting to learn. I'm not referring to myself I'm referring to 13 year old Joanne from Boston

Rap music is overstimulating but metal and EDM aren't...

I f***in hate coons man lmao

Where did he say those genres aren't?

Literally watch the first f***in 25 seconds of the video

A regular rap song...

A regular dubstep/EDM song...

But son wanna say rap is overstimulating for the average listener...word.

I got the same issue with niggas who say some goofy s*** like "No rap before 12PM!" as if all of rap is just aggressive lyrics, violence, disrespect towards women, and loud bass beats...

I know what y'all type of niggas are...
