Question:

What form or art, writing, or music is populated with the least sensitive artists?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It depends on what you mean by sensitive.

In common usage people often say sensitive when they mean: easily offended, sentimental or empathetic.

I think Hip Hop artists are overly sensitive and thus easily offended. (Other music artists don't fight each other or trash talk other artists in their songs nearly as much as in Hip Hop.) Thus in this meaning of sensitive, they seem to be the most sensitive. By contrast, they are the least empathetic.

So if it's empathy you're asking about, then I'd say Hip Hop is the least sensitive.

But since I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, to answer your question, I'd have to say the form of writing, art or music which is least sensitive would be writers of technical journals or computer instruction manuals.

In regular media those groups lacking empathy seem to be magazines from either extreme of a political or religious continuum. They seem to lack a fundamental understanding of people different from themselves. They tend to be fanatics and extremely judgemental. The Nation, Fox News, CBN, Mother Jones... the list goes on and on.
