Which is different from what has become known as "rock music" how?
It's different in that most rock bands don't come out with a record that says "Yo, buy this, bitch, so I can roll in my Benzo" and go on bad chat shows wearing 24 karat dukey ropes, fold their arms, stare at the camera and say "My shit rocks."

When the PA's low end on one whole side took a dump and deprived them of the necessary "phat bass" to put their stuff over, one of the openers
NEVER listen to the openers! NEVER!!
Easier said than done when apparently most of the audience is in a posse and just keeps wandering up on stage. A bunch of white security guys aren't gonna stand around in a 90 degree, sweaty club and tell motherfuckers "you can't go on stage", and the punters knew it.
Shut up, bitch, and fix my bass.
I got your bass here, biatch.
Well, I live in a black neighborhood, and to tell you the truth, I would get on my knees and thank God if sunspots or a power surge or something wiped out every fucking subwoofer in my apartment building. I would kiss the ground like Columbus landing in the New World. Does that make me a racist? Sure, the black Americans (not so much the Africans, of whom we have plenty) love their bass. But apparently so do the white folks next door, who believe that Top Gun and Terminator II are entirely different films without a certain gut-liquefying rumble. This frequency knows no color. It rolls through walls, ceilings, carpets, more walls, and cultural barriers as if they're not even there, bringing us all together with its universal message of THUMP, BA-RUMMMMMM THUMP THUMP! People of all races and creeds can raise their voices in a unifying cry of, "turn that shit OFF."
I live in a mixed neighbourhood. I don't mind bass, but the rattle sounds like shit. Lo-fi is lo-fi. Frequency knows no colour. Ha. That's so obtuse.
Subwoofers are like crack: The shit should be outlawed, and I'm sorry if that can be statistically interpreted as a racist statement. But I have lived in white crack neighborhoods, and it didn't change my opinion one bit.

To quote another shit-stirrer, Johhy Rotten: Ah, ha ha! Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
McLaren fucked him over big time, then got to write history with that bullshit movie.
He knew he was going to get swindled, so he shoved his band under everybody's nose, got some fame and money and went to the motherfucking pay window. Good. I used that quote because this music has been the core of my life since I could walk. Every time I hear some quasi-literate slapnuts grooving to a bunch of 23Hz bass with a TR-808 track and some yingwang talking about "how many motherfuckers he gonna be killin' while tha bitchiz be suckin' his dick, yo", over and over, and they think that it makes them hip or dangerous... or worse: entertained... I think they've been cheated. I know I have.
Wait, we were talking about rap or something. Oh yeah, it's music. Well, sometimes it looks (especially to a sound man) like a bunch of assholes going batshit in front of a bank of drum machines. Who cares? It's all elephants and blind men. Let's polish off this bourbon and go someplace fun.
