Why do you suppose mumble rap has any sort of audience, being as mediocre as it is?
It's fun, the internet, tools to make it are easy to learn, vague definition, controversy, a progenitor invented music.
Like any trend, it gets saturated to a point a large portion of it is mediocre. Without taking time to understand what is happening and what people like about it, it can all seem the same and that would make it appear even more mediocre, I reckon.
Dammit are you going to make me go all 'these kids today' ? I hate mumbling in all its forms, I should not have to lean into the speaker to half-understand what someone is saying
that's a thing? i don't know what the kids listen to today:)
Not too familiar with it, but it could be one of those things that started out as ironic and people pretended to like, but it kept going for long enough that it eventually started sounding normal to those people, losing its ironic status and becoming an established subgenre. Once it became trendy, new people started listening to it to fit in with the subculture.
Or maybe some people just genuinely like it. I dunno. Even noise music ( https://youtu.be/pGzrL8J0t-c ) has an audience, so people will listen to anything.
Probably for the beat. I find that most people's taste in music is almost exclusively influenced by how catchy the song is versus actual lyrical depth lmao.
Isn't all rap to a degree muble rap since most of the lyrics are incomprehensible anyway?
