Opinions about hiphop in english.
Hi,
For a class about intercultural communication I have to find some opinions from people about the influences of hiphop in English. How much do you think music influences non-native speakers of English? Do other people around you use a lot of slang in their english? If you're a native speaker, does it bother you if a foreigner uses hiphop slang in their speech? Do you hear foreigners use British slang or American slang?

Hi Charlotte; It is the nature of teenagers to rebel against the mores of the older generation. Over the past decade, this phenomenon has emerged as "hiphop" - the popular subculture of big-city teenagers, which includes rap music, break dancing, and graffiti art. The rebellion of youth has been the wellspring of slang language, some of which becomes mainstream.

- The output from the hiphop generation, both American and British, has been exported globally especially in the form of music - so the language naturally infiltrates foreign languages as well.

Hey,
Whenever I speak with foreigners, they tend to use slang even more often than native speakers. Occasionally it can become fairly annoying, as they generally don't understand when they have crossed from being "cool" to simply sounding uneducated or extremely rude. This is probably caused by the fact that most slang terms have multiple meanings, at least some of which can be rather rude
