Hip-Hop/R&B Is The Dominant Genre In The U.S. For The First Time

[KnowReasonForPeace]

I thought its been that way for years already since hip hop/r&b is the most copied. Great news though.

Black Excellence (except for them mumble niggas)

It been pretty obvious for the last ten years ,new Rock music on the radio has been dead ,most of the kids nowadays black,white,asian,hispanic etc on instagram and facebook listen to Rap. There really isn't any new Rock group making noise on the mainstream level that people care about.

Hip hop took it to millions, I knew it would!

Pop Country has taken over the entire country literally. What used to be rock shows touring summer outdoor venues are now being replaced by Country acts even up here in the northeast. The older rock acts still get crowds but the new rock acts really aren't doing as many arena tours as previous eras of rock.

Mumble rap took it over the top.

The lit are mostly intrigued by the drum

Right that was apparent during the meek and drake beef.

Pages that nothing to do with hip hop were making meek memes.

Also all the new dances and rappers blow up through vine or ig memes.

I have yet seen an rock artist meme or rock artist blowing up through social media.

Here is what is crazy in 2017. Here where i live in CT there has been a hip hop radio show (Hot Jam) and an Alternative Rock show (Radio 104 Fest).

15 or 20 years ago the 104 Fest would have rock bands in our main outdoor theater (Xfinity Theatre) with a 30,000 person capacity. The hot jam would have 18,000 or so at the Civic Center (now XL Center).

This weekend Hot Jam has pnb rock kyle a few other weed carriers and Chance headlining and is in that 30,000 seat Xfinity Theatre. The Radio 104 Fest had bum ass 311headlining and the show is in the small convention center with a few thousand seats.
