Why can't I still quit gangsta rap music?

[Anonymous]

I am a white blonde guy in Europe. When i was a kid, i was bullied a lot. And got into gangsta rap. Loved rap music so much.

Later then, I improved myself. College degree, coding, scientific documentaries etc.

But rap music is still the number one genre for me. When i workout, or drink alcohol, or take a bus, headphones are still on my heads banging rap music. Old school gangsta especially.

Becoming a rapper was my biggest dream and i even produced lots of beats.

I know rap music wasted my time and life a lot when i was younger 10 to 25 years old. But at the age of 34, I still listen to rap so much. And cannot quit this habit. This is my passion.

Bro you're only 34 you can still enjoy RnB and rap pop music while you are still "prime enough" - technically the artists themselves have rapped even into their 50s like that guy who did the Kenan and Kel theme - 👀 📀 🎧

I could still picture The Weekend rapping until he's about 60 tops

lol... why do you have to?

You shouldn’t quit it! I’m not a gangsta rap fan, but it’s a totally valid genre and if it’s your passion you should embrace it, not quit it.

You don’t need to “quit” it 😊

Gangsta rap probably gave you a sense of power, identity and protection when you were bullied. That emotional bond sticks, even when your life changes. Music tied to survival and teenage dreams hits a different part of the brain.

You evolved, but your taste can stay. As long as it doesn’t harm your life now, enjoy it guilt‑free and let it be one facet of who you are 🎧💿

How can even consider that to be music?
