Neither rock nor rap are good so therefore one can't be better than the other

I mean, rock actually makes music and while i do agree rap has some musical sounds in it, rock is made up of the music, not merely using it as background noise

Nah, rap is better. It just has a distinct flow that makes it sound amazing.

There is good and bad in all genres of music. Everyone, if they put in the effort, could in theory become fans of different artists in any genre. People just have specific genres (and sub-genres) that they develop connections to based on their own formative experiences.

Nah, you need more obnoxious prescriptivism, although your last sentence is getting there :P

But we can all agree that classical easily tops rock and rap, right?
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

Rock is not better than rap. They are equal.

Equally bad.
