"Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards."
Half right. It also includes saying falsehoods, things you don't really mean, etc. I mean everything I say.
"This is what you're doing."
This is what you assume I'm doing. You may wish to assume and think I post thinks to antagonize them on purpose, but you'd be wrong there. I've just found in life that I rub people the wrong way with my general manner and the like. Do I give a damn? No. Does this make me a troll? No. Does it make me an asshole? Sure. So, if you wish to call me something, asshole would be appropriate.
Rap is a genre. Your thought on the matter doesn't change that fact. Get over it.
You are saying falsehoods; that rap is a genre. This is simply wrong, what
you say doesn't change that fact. Even worse, you have brought not a single shred of evidence to support your side of the argument. That too adds to my claim that you're being a troll.
You just said "rap is a genre, this is fact" and nothing else. That is not constructing an argument, that's just shouting that you're right.
To prove my previous statement, that rap is a vocal style, here's rap in rock:
Here's rap in pop music:
So, where's evidence for your side of the argument? What proves that rap is indeed a genre and not a vocal style.
As for saying this you don't really mean, I don't see why that's a requisite of being a troll. You're not just being an asshole, one can still be an asshole and stay ontopic and actually participate, albeit in an aggressive manner.
You're not doing that, you just posted your opinion and wilfully antagonised everyone else. That's added on top of you acting like an asshole, and I don't see how that addition can be called anything else than trolling.
Oh and just for the record, don't assume that I like the youtube videos I just posted. I find them to be quite awful, but they still prove my point.

I can play that song, it's actually really easy. His version is a bit more complicated, but it's easier than it looks.
If you want something hearty skillful, you need a modern-day Bert Jansch. And that's unlikely.
Heh, is it? I wouldn't know, my guitar skills are limited to Another Brick In The Wall on bass, and even that was years ago (which is a shame, wished I continued on that). It just sounded very difficult. Like how a friend of mine said that this song:
Is actually pretty easy to play on drums, but it makes me go "WOAH!" I can't imagine how that's easy. But if the experts say so.
Oh and I just looked up Bert Jansch, and by the gods that's amazing. I can't really hear how that's more difficult than, say, the Spanish songs John Clark plays. Care to point out the difference?
