Why are Black people not into Rock or general pop music?

[Petalpusher]

There have been studies about this

The fourth approach focuses on the role of intelligence on music fruition and
music preference. Previous research has shown that intelligence has a critical
influence in music preference. Rentfrow and Gosling (2003) showed that more
intelligent individuals preferred “reflective, complex, and intense” genres of
music (which included classical, jazz, blues, and folk). According to George,
Stickle, Rachid, and Wopnford (2007), preference for rebellious music is associated to a marginally lower IQ. Those who prefer classical music were found to
be more educated and more intelligent, a result that was confirmed also by
Kanazawa and Perina (2012).

I never encountered anyone who was only into rap, blasting it all day, learning the lyrics, talking like it etc.. while looking like he/she had a 3 digits IQ. And im talking about whites here too. Art comes from nature, not the other way around.

Eminem who started to rap randomly became easily the best selling rap artist of all time, just with funny lyrics for a change. It's inherently a very low IQ genre otherwise. Other types of pseudo rebellious music likely attracts the same bottom ends of other races too.

Since the Rock and Pop are not so close to the culture and mentality of Black people. They prefer the Rap, and this genre are originated from Afram people.

Also, in Hungary almost there are no Gypsy Rock or Pop singer, but they are overrepresented in the Mulatós (the Hungarian version of Country, Manele and Turbofolk) and Rap genres.

Black people tend to show virtually no interest in Rock, Metal or White lead pop groups, i have come across many Blacks where i live but i think perhaps no more than 1 or 2 out of well over 100 i have known have shown any interest in Rock music especially, other groups like South Asians and East Asians seem more enjoying of other musics.

Led Zeppelin( and Rolling Stones also ) have always said that black Americans deeply influenced their music with the BLUES...

The ridiculous heavy metal bands from Scandinavia are simply ridiculous.

Only 10 years old kids can listen their noises....

Let scandinavian heavy metal bands be inspired by the ASATRU fanatics and not by LED ZEPPELIN.. or DEEP PURPLE ( There's a lot of blues and blues influences in Deep Purple's music ... The main hook of deep purple Lazy is essentially based on a blues scale ) or HENDRIX...

In Italy heavy metal music is not popular in the sense that there are very few kids who love listening to it.
Here in ITALY no one over 25 years old would go to a Metallica concert.

Black people generally don't like Satanic stuff. Good for them.

Do you think that hip-hop in general promotes Christian values? Because not liking "Satanic music" or music that doesn't explicitly evoke "Satanic" beliefs doesn't mean that its message isn't actually "Satanic" when analyzed with the moral slant of Christianity.

There is lots of specifically Christian hip hop Google it also im convinced there is a big difference if someone explicitly worships satan or if he is immoral only maybe depends also how gravely immoral he acts how bad it actually is but i see a difference

That depends on the artist. Will Smith and Lauryn Hill are usually inoffensive enough.

Rap generally revolves around big screen TVs & asses, drugs and shooting people. It sounds almost comical if you are not aware they are serious. It's hard to find a better way to synthesize something more opposite to Christian values (or any values whatsoever)

There's also Christian rock and metal. These Christian groups belong to niche sub-genres of music and are not representative of what the masses listen to. What's the difference between saying you believe in Satan and leading a normal, modest life, and saying you believe in Christ and leading an erratic, criminal life? Just so I understand. And to clarify, most bands that use religious symbols and images do so for aesthetics and dramatization not because they are actually religious or followers of some obscure cult. I've never met anyone who actually identifies as Satanic and I'm quite familiar with the circle of people who attend heavy metal concerts. You're more likely to get into trouble or becoming a social outcast being part of a group that follows the lifestyle promoted by hip-hop than in a group of metal fans.

I'm sure those are the names people think of when they talk about Hip-Hop. The same as Nickelback whenever someone mentions Rock.
