This is groovy, more techno than hip-hop perhaps?

Rap isn't my generation and hip hop isn't my culture. At 63 yo, I'm a boomer and many of us love our bands. In some circles we call pre-1986 'the band days'.
I have nothing against rap. I'd just rather hear notes than some kind of poetry.

There are subtle differences with the culture. The women look awesome. Noone's really racist. It's common for some of the men to be macho and confrontational like I was saying, but I don't think I'd be able to really avoid that in any city.

What are you talking about Hispanics are super racist. They all hate each other. Or at least that's how it is in Chicago.

And Surrey, just south of Vancouver has a big Sikh population. Their Vaisakhi celebration is a fun.
