They'll believe it too, because they see me having a good life and being a model citizen, yet a metalhead. And then they see my sister, whose life nearly drowned in a cesspool of hedonism, a fan of rap/hip-hop.

I think the causal relationship you're implying exists here is very debatable. |

But metal can have good lyrics... rap can't have good music.

Well, I would agree with the type of rap you may hear in clubs, but even most rap aficionados wouldn't consider that rap at all.
Good rap lies in stuff like older Dr. Dre, older Wu-Tang Clan, Ice-T, etc.
I don't have much rap in my collection, but I know that good rap exists.

It's enough to convince them, especially since we share a common hatred for that type of "music". And all the crap my sister listens to is mainstream garbage.

Yeah, that pisses me off. I'm not a fan of rap but blanket statements like that are completely retarded. Same with emo. |
