Line 82:
* The [[Black Eyed Peas]] started out as a less violent, [[Conscious Hip Hop|socially conscious]] alternative to the [[Gangsta Rap]] artists that dominated rap music in [[The Nineties]]. This changed once [[Ms. Fanservice|Fergie]] joined, with their hit albums ''Elephunk'' and ''Monkey Business'' turning them in a more party-pop-oriented direction. They did return to their conscious, politically-motivated hip hop and boom bap roots with ''Masters of the Sun Vol. 1'', in response to the socio-political situation in the United States during the mid to late 2010s.
* The entire [[Straight Edge]] music scene and subculture emerged as a backlash against what was perceived as out-of-control violence and drug use within the [[Hardcore Punk]] scene in [[The Eighties]]. Ironically, the [[Holier Than Thou|militancy]] of [[Smug Straight Edge|some straight edge adherents]] led to the perception that the movement was a gang.
** The "gang" mentality, by the way, was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] clear into the stratosphere by [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]'s [[CM Punk]] between 2009 and 2011. His "hardcore straight-edge" gimmick, originally heroic, took on a diabolical "cult" flavor, with Punk's followers essentially a group of skinheaded thugs and Punk himself looking disturbingly like Charles Manson (until [[Rey Mysterio]] shaved him bald).
* "White Metal" or "Unblack Metal" is this to [[Captain Obvious|Black]] [[Black Metal|Metal]].
* In [[The Eighties]], [[Televisa]], then (and still) the most powerful Mexican TV network, was faced with a dilemma. As one of Mexico's self-appointed [[Moral Guardians]], they had to ostracize any music that plays harder than 2 on the [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]] to prevent the "[[Think of the Children|family values]]" crowd from viewing them as traitors, but doing so meant losing [[Money, Dear Boy|those profitable demographics that enjoyed rock music]]. So they decided to [[Bowdlerise]] rock music, playing [[Spinoff Babies|children's bands like Timbiriche]].
