Best answer: I find myself on the fence with this. Rap is an art form. It has a beat, it has lyrics. Is a melody absolutely necessary for it to be music? Usually, yes.....although I can think of extreme examples that break that 'rule'. Check out Indonesian Gamelan music, for example.

Rap isn't relevant to me, so it's easy to say "I don't get it". What I do "get" is that it's relevant and powerful to some segments of our culture. Some of us feel it falls outside the boundaries of traditional music, others feel it has just expanded the definition. Who actually gets the right to define where those boundaries lie? Whether Rap meets the definition of true music or sits in a new category of it's own, it's *treated* like music. It's listened to on music players, and distributed through the same networks as "traditional" music. Ultimately, I'm swayed by that argument. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.......well, you know the saying.

if you look at old school music or even currrent indie pop type they can get decent amounts of views but only the modern mainstream pop and rap stuff can get ridiculous amounts of views like the 1 billion range. Why do you think so?

I cannot seem to find any French folk rock bands. If you know any, please say!
