Rock and Hip Hop Statistics

Anonymous · 2014-04-08T08:09:51-04:00

A few months ago you might remember I conducted a questionnaire to look at the different demographics of Rock and Hip Hop. A couple of you mentioned being interested in seeing the results, and since I finally got around to producing them, I thought I would share them with you. They're not the most shocking or inspiring statistics, especially considering the limited range of responses I received, but hopefully they'll still spark some discussion. I've not drawn any conclusions as of yet, so it might be interesting to hear what you think: Those questioned were sourced from my local area, BestEverAlbums.com and reddit.com. A total of 159 people responded. 90% of those that responded were white. Of those that belief Rock has greater value in society… 51% believed Hip Hop incites sexism (50% of which were female). 34% believed Hip Hop incites drug use. 34% believed Hip Hop incites profanity. 34% believed Hip Hop encourages the production of poorer quality music. 31% believed Hip Hop incites racism. 30% believed Hip Hop incites violence. 36% did not believe Hip Hop incites any of the above. Of those that belief Hip Hop has greater value in society… 22% believed Rock incites violence. 17% believed Rock incites drug use. 7% believed Rock incites the production of poorer quality music. 3% believed Rock incites profanity. 2% believed Rock incites sexism. No one believed Rock incites Racism. 73% did not believed Rock incites any of the above. 92% of those that prefer Hip Hop believe their musical preference has changed over their lifetime. 80% of those that prefer Rock believe their musical preference has changed over their lifetime. 18% of females preferred Hip Hop. 25% of males preferred Hip Hop. Of those that prefer Hip Hop… 57% believe they respond most to melody. 43% believe they respond most to rhythm. Of those that prefer Rock… 80% believe they respond most to melody. 20% believe they respond most to rhythm. 27% believed Hip Hop requires more musical ability to write - 26% of these prefer Hip Hop. 73% believed Rock required more musical ability to write – 88% of these prefer Rock. 38% believed Hip Hop has more value in society – 40% of these prefer Hip Hop. 62% believed Rock has more value in society – 88% of these prefer Rock. 29% of those that prefer Rock believe Hip Hop has more value. If you guys have any questions or thoughts, I'd love to hear them. This is all contributing to my dissertation that I will be completing in the next month.

Pretty predictable for a site like this that loves indie rock. I prefer hip hop although it's really because I grew up with it.
