the song is indeed mocking the hip hop music genre by exaggerating the genres characteristics, does this mean that it still participates in this genre? I do not believe that this song is necessarily in either of the music genres. The song is obviously not a part of the alternative rock music genre because it does not have the essential components that are needed to participate in this genre. Some of the examples that I listed were the lack of electric guitar in the song. As for the hip hop genre I do not believe that you can participate in a music genre went the artist intent is to mock the whole genre. Just because the genre of music that you are mocking does 6not acknowledge the joke, does not mean you are now a whiling participant of that genre. To answer the research question, no I do not believe that it is possible to place the song, The Bad Touch, into a music genre by simply listening to the beat and analyzing the lyrics. I conclude that not only this song, but the actual group, The Bloodhound Gang, are creating their own genre of music that has a place in multiple music genres.7...
