Hip Hop & Country Music - Blog 6

What I noticed they had in common was, their results of the "what words do you think other people think.." questionnaire to hip hop and country genres. To my surprise, the results weren't like I thought they would be. However, I do admit, when doing that assignment, I circled answers that I didn't feel were related. I thought other people would think this and that. But they appear to all kind of have the same opinions as I did; When we filled out the "what words do I think.." portion. The only theme I can think of at this point would be stereotyping. For example, the majority of us listed patriotic under the country music and not one of us listed patriotic for hip hop. And we listed youth or young under hip hop, but not country music. See the pattern here? When I, at least, hear country music, I definitely don't automatically think of teenagers. And the same goes for when I hear hip hop, I definitely don't relate that to a middle aged man driving his big truck on a gravel road. Etc.
