rap music \n \n \nor hip-hop, genre originating in the mid-1970s among black and Hispanic performers in New York City, at first associated with an athletic style of dancing, known as breakdancing. The word rap, derived from a 1960s slang word for conversation, generally consists of chanted, often improvised, street poetry accompanied by a montage of well-known recordings, usually disco or funk. Detractors have criticized most rap music as a boastful promotion of violence and misogyny; others have admired it as an inventive manipulation of cultural idioms and credit many rappers with an acute social and political awareness. Early rap groups included Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, and the Beastie Boys. Rap has influenced many forms of popular culture, particularly film, and has been increasingly incorporated into pop music. Some influential rap performers include Public Enemy, NWA, Run-DMC, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot, and Queen Latifah.\n\nSee M. Costello and D. F. Wallace, Signifying Rappers (1990); G. Nelson, Hip Hop America (1998).

iim a big hip hop fan but i get what ur saying n is true cause it does gets irritating hearing same thing all the time. well the real hip hop was about to rap rhymes about what u see in the hood. many people dont get it since they werent expose to that u dont really know the feeling if u didnt experience it. if u wanna hear some that really was different hear 2pac but go on his positive side of his music he had poetry books they even got classes in college about his music and poetry. but i do get ur point of view.

The previous answers make no sense.  Hip hop is the name of the art scene that includes a genre of music, now called "rap" or "hip hop."  The terms are interchangeable.  \n\nOnce upon a time, underground artists would call their product "hip hop" to distinguish it from commericially acceptable artists (MC Hammer, Young MC, etc,).  The term "rap music" was coined by writers and critics that were unaware of that the genre/art scene had a name: hip hop.

Definitely rap and hip-hop. Rap is misunderstood these days, thanks to wankstas like 50 Cent.

Yes. Rap is the crap you see on MTV. Hip hop is actually good music. I hardly listen to it, but my boyfriend does, and the stuff he plays isn't too bad. Rap is music where they sing about bitches and hoes, pimpin', riding on 24's, bling bling, drinking, smoking, etc. Hip hop though actually goes in detail about life, and things that really matter.

American culture.  Consumerism, fast food, individuality... etc.  There is no "majority" culture outside of that.

HIP HOP AND RAP ARE DEFINETELY MAKING AN IMPACT NOW.  IF U LOOK AT THE COMMERCIALS ON TV SUCH AS CAR COMMERCIALS AND PHONE COMMERCIALS...THE SONGS THAT ARE PLAYING ARE HIP HOP.  ITS ABOUT TIME THAT PEOPLE RECONGNIZE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT INSTEAD OF MAKING IT A RACIAL ISSUE.  IT REALLY IS AN ART FORM AND I ADMIRE EVERYONE THATS IN THAT FIELD OF WORK...HELL I WOULD LOVE TO BE AN ARTIST...HAHAHA

Yup. They hear samples from current hip hop tunes & have no clue they're usually from great ORIGINAL songs from the 60s - 80s. Of course, they *couldn't* have a clue simply b/c they didn't live it....That's where WE enter the picture to clue them in.\n\nBecause if I hear ONE more 70s tune used in some tv commercial only to have some kid say - Hey! It's the ___(name product here)_____song!"

Punk is a subculture, alternative culture, counterculture, and youth culture based on a shared set of cultural elements distinct from those of popular culture and other subcultures. Punk has its own distinct music, ideology, fashion, visual art, dance, literature and film. An otherwise disparate assortment of mostly young people, members of the subculture, or punks, express these cultural elements in the context of punk communities, or scenes. Punk has a long and complicated history. Since emerging in the United Kingdom and the United States in the mid-1970s, punk has spread across the globe and undergone a series of tumultuous developments. Punk is made up of an assortment of smaller subcultures, each distinguished by its own specific articulation of the cultural elements of punk. Several subcultures developed out of punk to become distinct in their own right, including goth, grunge and emo. Punk has unique relationships with other subcultures and popular culture as a whole.

Well, first there is the type of culture where you grow microorganisms in a Petri dish.\n\nThen, there is the type of culture pertaining to a society or group, and it's mainstream beliefs, art, music, and food, etc.\n\nThen there is the type of culture that refers to a person being well-bred, or of high class (cultured).
