Unfortunately, since NWA infested our planet, every urban place has it's "gangsta" element... so, in the original popular series, the hippies and their counterculture were often bad guys (when it wasn't Red China or WWII Japanese ex-pats hiding out on the islands) , so don't be surprised if the "gangstas" will be the bad guys as often, and Islamic Fundamentalists/Middle Easterners will be the "new" bad guys. So, of course, the crappy music needs to follow suit.
