The worst possible thing for culture and music in particular, was the birth of Hip Hop and electronic music. Especially drum machines! There will always be the odd exception to the rule but in general, the last 50 years of music has been soulless annoying garbage.

@uptownbladebrownNot accurate.
@ninjaspawn1All the "false" and "misleading" Rap and Hip-Hop history started with Afrika Bambaataa and the Universal Zulu Nation.
@bootneyleefarnsworth7307Hip-Hop isn't a genre of music...it's a 1970s Bronx subculture that died out in the early 80s. Rapping/Rap was a part of Black American society DECADES before the Hip-Hop movement existed.
@bootneyleefarnsworth7307Rap and Hip-Hop are both Black AmericanDOS creations, however they're two different things with different histories. Ninety-nine percent of the time when people say Hip-Hop what they really mean is Rap, the "Hip-Hop" term needs to be fazed out when discussing music. Technically, Hip-Hop is a youth movement that was birthed in the Bronx and died there. The Hip-Hop term has been misused and thrown around loosely and inappropriately for decades, it's caused confusion and that's one of the reasons Rap doesn't have a proper standard history as a music genre. You don't associate the creation of Blues or Jazz with any type of separate youth or cultural movement so why would you do it with Rap?
@bootneyleefarnsworth7307I love hip hop
