How the hell do you define better music? (sure music can be more complicated and well thought out, but in the end its all about the listener's taste)
Anyways, when you mention these rappers and metalheads. What comes to my mind is how those are
pretty often just some ways to define what kinds of clothes you wear, whom you hang out with and perhaps just a way to socialize. And that those people don't really listen to that music much at all (or resist trying out other kinds of music altogether). For example in Finland, there is this Tuska festival where a lot of metalheads gather. But there are ton's of those so called "metalheads" who don't come to listen to the actual music, but only to party hard and socialize with others.
"Metal is the only music what I can listen to"
I can't but feel sorry for you... You are missing so much great music. And then anyways, if you take one genre you dislike. If you listen to that genre for a while (or long) you
will eventually start liking that kind of music. There are tests about that and it shows how taste will develop.
Its like the taste for food, adults start trying out a lot of new food and often have a lot wider broad of food they like compared to a youngling (unless those people will stick to eating french fries and hamburgers). But then, if you keep eating those french fries, you will get bored of the taste for sure. Same thing happens with music, if you listen to an album time after time you find its glory and magic disappear. That can happen to a whole genre of music too, at least if that genre has an tendency to repeat itself.
As for me, You could just look at my
last.fm (if you can mind that awful name) account (lot of stuff hasn't scrobbled there) and see how I had been "stuck" in prog metal and then started listening to all kinds of stuff from electronic to pop to rap to post-rock to ambient to rock to whatever I don't know for sure what I listen anymore... Hell now I'm listening to Gustav Mahler! Call me a hipster or whatever you want...
Why did I write this?
Oh well... Keep on working with the story and listen to whatever you want for all I care ^^
