Are Crunk, Chopped and Screwed, and whatever other styles you want to name REALL!

Are Crunk, Chopped and Screwed, and whatever other styles you want to name REALLY different types of Hip Hop?

I mean, I just don't see how so I'd appreciate if someone can explain this to me. In my opinion, just because you add some bells and whistles to something doesn't make it original.

Don't they still sample people? Don't they still loop up very simple beats? So if I add a flute to the sample I'm using, how does that make it a DIFFERENT TYPE of Hip Hop?

If I get a bike, and put different wheels on it from the ones it came with, does that mean I have a new bike???

Ok, a little more detail...

I know that just like everything else, music is regional. So are people's accents, their lifestyles, and everything else. Just because people from the south rap, why does that make it different and seperate from Hip Hop? Especially if the beats and lyrics are almost completely the same. I mean the slang is different, but it's still about the same old stuff.

Also, I know that Crunk was named after Hip Hop came out. Actually after it was already mainstream too. But what makes it special and different enough to not just all be called Hip Hop?

Example. It's very easy to tel the difference between Soft Rock, Alternative and Metal. They're about different things, relay different experiences, and are just musically different from each other. I don't see that with other types of Hip Hop though. At least not enough to stand out.

yup. theyre not different types of hip hop just different types of songs.
