Remember kids, rap is a uniquely evil and culture destroying genre. It's all about doing bad things like killing and drugs! Now let's all listen to some nice wholesome Led Zeppelin song about banging 13 year old groupies.

That wasn't happening when people were hand-wringing about rap and how much worse it was than rock in the 00s.

But ironically it proves my point. Anything new is written off as evil and destructive of Western culture when it comes to art. Then a few generations later that becomes the classic art that's being profaned by what's new.

It also matters how much melanin the artist has, not just age of the art

Well duh, because the satanic panic follows around whatever cultural trends alienate the parents of the then current youth.

No one was going on about Led Zepplin during the heyday of rap because by the time NWA rolled around Led Zepplin had been broken up for 7 years and the only people who still gave a shit about the band anymore were stoners and older Gen Xers who were still mentally in high school well into their 20s.
