    See, Our Music Isn't That Bad! (But Don't Tell Your Parents)

    I got in a little conversation with two fellow FFR members about what genre has the most obscene lyrics that contain alcohol and drugs. So...I did a little looking around the intranets and found this:

    33% of song lyrics -- from Country to Rap to Rock -- contain alcohol and drug references. A team of medical doctors from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine analyzed the lyrics of 279 bestselling songs from 2005 in five genres: Rap, Country, R&B, Rock and Pop. Rap had the most references by far, followed by Country music.

    • Rap, 77 percent
    • Country, 37 percent
    • R&B, 20 percent
    • Rock, 14 percent
    • Pop, 9 percent

          What the ****, madmatt, you're like a talking tabloid.

          When are you going to realize that no one cares?

              HEY LET'S ALL BE MEAN TO PEOPLE OVER THE INTERNET AND TELL THEM HOW POINTLESS THEIR INTERESTS ARE.

              Stick a fork in it, Foilman. You cared enough to click the link.

              Anyway: I wonder what the further subgenres of Rock and Roll would field. It's pretty diverse to just say "rock" after all.

                      wow, good find.

                      i never would have guessed that country would have came in second.

                          Yeah now that I think about it, country makes sense. South, beer, etc.

                          Rap was obviously my initial thought for number 1, turns out I was right.

                          Interesting stuff.

                          Just that you're a piece of shit who can't see reason and instead deserves a fucking beating.

                                  I wonder what the results would be for simply swearing. Probably still Hip-Hop at the top, but I would imagine that other types of music would shuffle through the rankings a bit.
                                  Note to self Finish.
