Of course. Anything hard rock (and harder) is 100% Satanic.
Rap/hip-hop is bad because it 'glorifies' violence, sex, drugs
If you grew up in the 90's going to the meetings, it was the thing that was always hammered on. Conventions, assemblies, always had parts about it. It was the boogey man of the 90's, similar to how college is the boogeyman for kids today.

There were certain songs that were considered demonic, like Queen - another one bites the dust, and of course anything by Stevie Nicks because we all knows she is a witch!
Rap is from satan, as well as anything metal.

Depends on what JW you ask. I think gangster rap and death metal are really the only ones specifically frowned upon by pretty much all hardcore dubs.
There are still plenty of brothers/sisters who think that Earth, Wind, and Fire and Beatles are demonic.
Not sure if this is true but I think a CO remarked that there is a question on the application for fulltime Bethel service that asks how long it has been since you listened to rock music. I wonder if anyone can confirm that.

All music from Christendom.
