I used to be into grunge and alternative music. Then I realised that most of it sucks. Now I'm into "music that doesn't suck" (genre be damned), and I think I'm better for it. I'll listen to any genre, but I won't abide crap.
It seems to go beyond the music, though, doesn't it? I mean, it's pervasive! Everywhere you turn, it's hip-hop. McDonald's commercials, movies, etc.

So.... why is it everywhere? Is there some value in it that I'm missing?!
