Absolutely not. It is not a less legitimate kind of music. Music is music, and all kinds can be considered musical and legitimate. Of course, if you want to get technical, a recording (or performance) of one man sitting in a room occasionally coughing is music as well.

There are those who when they listen to this music are inspired by the intertwining of the rhythm of the instruments and the riffs and progression of the guitar. These people are likely musicians or experienced ("mature"?) listeners of this genre. I consider these people more... I wouldn't say "qualified", but perhaps "suitable" to decide what is musical and what isn't. Taste is irrelevant here.
Anyone can have a taste in music. However not everyone is equally justified to bag on stuff they don't like. That sounds elitist, I know, (and I don't pretend I'm not an elitist), but consider an analogy:
Is simply anyone (I'm going to use 'qualified' here, bear with) 'qualified' to make judgments as to the soundness of a building? Most people will have a fair idea of what looks stable and what doesn't, but some will be better suited to make that call, based on experience they have with engineering, whether its life experience or hell, they might actually be an engineer for a job.

Hip-hop really wasn't what I wanted to talk about. I clearly made a mistake in referencing the thread that inspired this train of thought. Incidentally, I do listen to some hip-hop and consider some of it strongly musical. Any music that I do listen to I consider "good" (obviously).
Also Jewels don't take offense to my use of the term 'mature' - I don't mean that with the connotations it has in english, please relate it to the 'experience' I mentioned in this post.
Oh and roach I'm TOTALLY missing the basis behind your rephrasing of my argument - can you break it down a bit more? And what made you edit your post? They're like the same.
