What women/men want

Actually, hip hop was pretty well established well before 15 years ago. It had been gathering momentum from the early eighties with Grandmaster Flash, the Sugar Hill Gang, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, The Beastie Boys, etc.

I'm just sayin'...

"By 1986 their releases began to establish hip hop as a fixture of the mainstream. Rap and hip hop became commercially successful, as exemplified by The Beastie Boys' 1986 album Licensed to Ill, which was the first rap album to hit #1 on the Billboard charts."

Sure culture can be modified. Because bahvior can be modified. It just takes time. Don't confuse lack of speed with inability to change.

Compared to 10 years back - a lot of toilets in urban metropolitan India have toilet paper or water sprays that allow you to not use your hands to do the cleaning.

Who liked hip-hop music 15 years back? Hardly a few thousand folks? Yet today it is the most prevalent music genre out there. If that is not cultural change - then I don't know what is.
