You're not supposed to like any music/lifestyle that the kids like if you're over the age of 40 - that's the rules. The reality is that American hip-hop life and music have pretty much dominated the world for the last 20 years or so. What we have here is the Americanization of the world. The Americans with hip-hop have succeeded far better than any plot conceived by the commies.
