Hip Hop and Country Music

I think that hip hop and country are different in some aspects but similar in others. I think hip hop is more lyrical and uses alot of slang. Hip hop has its own attitude. I think that the younger generation tends to lean towards hip hop. It is about the rythm and the bass, and alot of dancing. Hip hop is used more in the clubs for dancing. However hip hop may also become a negative influence on people because it glorifies violence and drugs, and exploits women. Country on the other hand is more laid back. Country music seems to lean more towards relating to the listeners. The country that I have listened to tells a story and the message it sends is usually simple and clear. When I think of country I think of love stories and stories of heartache. Both Hip hop and country are authentic because they both tell a story and both relate to their listeners.
