Which political party is more approving of the following music genre?

With all the music hoopla in this area of the forum, I decided to pair up music genres that are often the anti of their party bases.   With rap its associated with the African-American community, while country music gets stereotyped as being hick music. Which genre gets more support from the political party that are hostile to their target audience?

Honestly, as a 19 year old, I've seen people of all political persuasions like or dislike rap.  I'd say the majority of people under 30 like at least some rap music.  The people who hate all of it are generally either conservatives who like country and liberals/moderates who only listen to a certain type of rock music (I'm thinking of the Arctic Monkeys fanbase here).

Guess what both those crowds have in common? Hint: Look at the makeup of the country crowds and the indie rock crowds.

Both are overwhelmingly white.  And there is a large overlap between white liberal and hipster.

If you asked BRTD about that kind of crowd hell say they are pretty much interchangeable, though I imagine to find some libertarians  who could be described as hipsters.
