I can abide your argument when it comes to rapping, but not hip-hop. Rapping is an action, while hip-hop is more of a culture, one that has nothing to do with ICP, and that's not because it's shitty. Horrorcore, maybe?

I was unaware that hip hop could be pretentious

No. This isn't about pretentiousness. It's about calling things something when they not that something.

That's not pretentious. That's the definition. Ask anyone.

And, also, you just started a thread where you've routinely sought the definition of what a hipster is. Now we've bumbled into a conversation about hip-hop and rap, and I offered a definition of both. Somehow that, and definitions, is pretentious.

It's like the difference between skateboarding (the act) and boarding culture.

Stop being so pretentious.

I'll keep my verb/noun distinctions to myself from now on.

All I know, is if weeman made that same argument about metal, and he pointed out that "metal is a culture," we'd all call him a fag.

Or if Ic said that metal cartoon on CN wasn't metal, because it wasn't real, and not really part of "the metal culture", we'd call him a fag.

You two know what I'm getting at. You're just being difficult.
