what the heck is "urban"?

[McTom]

urban... what actually do we understand under this name? everything from hiphop to R&B to experimental hiphop (garage, or gorillaz-like stuff) to crunch? what is the use of it then? so it is possible to drop all kinda like albums in one box in the store??

Urban is also a whole culture. It's like 'new black music' I guess. No soul, no oldies. Really R&B and hiphop and all kinds of music like that. Also clothes and lifestyle.

[soul controller]

urban is what the industry wants to label music that has no point.. that is just their for u to.. well sing along too, not careing what is said.. but it effects ur sub conscious..
