I like to consider myself a metalhead with some degree of curiosity. Aside from thrash, melodic death and heavy metal, I really enjoy quite a range of electronic music artists that usually fall into retro- or synt- or whateverwave category, never learnt the difference. Naturally, Hotline Miami had a huge influence on my simple tastes as well, and whatever Cyberpunk 2077 revealed regarding music is super great to me, honestly.
However, I can't say rap/hip-hop tracks shown recently are somehow bad, don't fit or something like that. Neither do I understand anymore what is the problem of such a massive RPG/lore/style gatekeeping that the community has been showing since the most recent delay. It really does seem like a bunch of salty people being salty and childish and redundantly aggressive and protective about "their" hobby or even game.
Cyberpunk is largely about the society as a whole, as humanity as a whole, and both are extremely diverse in any imaginable way. CDPR is doing a great marketing job with the music because it manages to hit three major music branches, which are rock and its derivatives, rap and its derivatives and electronic music and its derivatives. And, well, surprise surprise, some people have different tastes and that is okay. I am in a happy functional relationship with a person who listens to genres that historically divided people like her and me apart, can't see no problem with her having zero appeal to my music.
It's not like CDPR made DOOM with rap music. id Software, by the way, once did, but they learnt damn fast they better should not have done that and never made the same mistake again - the genre simply didn't suit the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 and what we have heard so far, though, go well together. Damn well, I should say, especially with street kids.
Either way, happy to be a part of this community, but come on everyone, aren't RPGs meant to get different people together to do different things and encourage us to open up? It's just music that some of us happen to enjoy less than some other people do, chill.
