Disco Blogpost 4/3/12

1. How can social issues, such as race and religion affect how someone views a certain genre of music?
I believe that race and religion do play somewhat of a big role in how someone views certain genres of music. I think nowadays it has more to do with the people you surround yourself with and what you grew up around. In most cases, if your parents listened to it, you have a good chance of liking the same music. Race is put into different genres like rap and country, for example, it is weird to see a white man/woman rapping and also weird to see a black man/woman singing country.
2. Was this a one-time situation/incident or is this going on in any genres today?
I think that it was a one-time situation. I don’t think that genres will ever have such a controversial situation again. 
3 Do certain genres of music reflect a particular population where it is unacceptable to step outside those boundaries?
Yes, but I believe that it has to do with the people you are influenced by within the music. Rather it be what the rapper is talking about or the people you are actually around while listening to it. Like certain people will listen to music and actually go do what the song is talking about.
