I won't really pick one over the other, because I dislike both, depending on what we are talking about. I don't like punk rock, or today's rock music a la Korn, or whatever other types of today's rock. 80's rock and southern rock to me are much more interesting, mainly because I like the style of the way the guitar is used in southern rock. I am a novice guitar player, so that really appeals more to me than today's rock.

I don't like rap at all, but that's my opinion. For some (many) of you who live in Canada or other nations around the world, perhaps you don't quite understand why so many people hate rap. At my university (University of Alabama) everybody has succumbed to the peer pressure of listening to what's cool at the time instead of what they really enjoy. At every frat party all that's ever played is rap. everybody is enthralled with it, more because of what the rap life symbolizes, rather than the music itself. The feeling of bling bling, big cars, easy women, etc. seem to be profiled many times over with the general population at my college (go to ua.thefacebook.com and you'll see some of the morons who try way too hard to fit in by listening to rap). The student body listens to rap because it reflects most people's sole reason that they are even in college: to get "wasted every night and fuck as many bitches as possible" (actual quote from my dorm neighbor).

Even worse are the rednecks who listen to rap. Yes, rap has become such a matter of peer pressure that it is not uncommon to see somebody driving a jacked up Z71 with Flowmasters, Buckmasters, and Ducks Unlimited stickers on the back window while listening to mainstream rap. These guys are particularly the worse, wearing camouflage baseball caps and confederate flag shirts while talking about how phat 50 is.

These people are the main reason why a lot of people here hate rap. It's not because of the music, but rather the hordes of dumbasses who listen to it.
