Drill is not apart of hiphop and a derivative of bop or house.
Drill artist would be offended if you said they wre hiphop. As Chicago rego dudes think hiphop is associated with being soft.
Play around and say that if you want to their face.
see what happens in real time.

Typically, people revert to the lazy "these kids are making music to get themselves out the streets" if you ask...but even that wasn't the case. Them kids were letting bullets fly over tweets in real time.
if you were 14 at the time there is no way you couldn't have understood that literal children priding themselves in how they excelled at death wasn't cool.

Dissing the dead. Smoking opps. Disrespecting gravesites. Started young nikkas wanting to have enemies and being infatuated with killing other black kids.
Keeping score of murders and treating killing like a sport.
Whatever c Delores tucker and them old heads thought gangster rap was doing drill is worse.

It and every other drill from every region is garbage simply for the 100% negativity

As much as I enjoyed the music when I was younger I always felt it was weird how it blew up around the same time as BLM. Not on some conspiracy shyt, but it felt contradicting to scream that yet bump that kind of music.

Hello no.
Drill music was never even meant for the masses to consume.
Seriously speaking, the fact that there are people from overseas that follow neighborhood gang beef between teenagers/early 20 somethings is wild to me.

Respectfully, I think your comment is a copout.
As one example of how things have spiraled out of control and gotten worse.......look up the music videos for some of the early acts that were making violent content.
At the end of Road to the Riches, G Rap goes to jail, as the "older man" finishes telling the young kid the story
At the end of High Rollers, Ice T has a gun pointed to his face (either by rivals or cops, I forget)
At the end of Money and the Power, Scarface gets the electric chair.
Labels had to present the content a certain way to show consequences for actions. Even Straight Outta Compton, they were shown getting arrested at the end.
The artists making the music would show the different sides of the game, including the legal repercussions.
Since that early era, it's gotten worse in terms of content and visuals promoted by artists and labels.
In Drill, it became directly gang war chronicles. With lyrics about actual people, crimes, incidents, and deaths.
