Daniel McCluskey doubts the aesthetics of Uz metalheads (with good
reason):

But the clear rebuttle: Lemmy. If he's not a troll of some sort, I'm
scared. ;) And that Motorhead thingee on the covers sorta looks like a
troll...

Problem with Rap, of course, is that trolls don't do the thick gold-chain
wearing thing -- and their own oppressed class isn't in a position to
squawk about it. Typical trollish rap might be something along the line
of:
  Rap Trollkin: "I aintcha dinner, can't you see--"
  Annoyed Troll: "Shut up, and get inside o' Me. <Gulp>"

Making for very short careers.

In fact... thinking of urban, gold-loving, oppressed groups, the one that
springs to mind is the DH lower classes. So all the Gloranthan rappers are
actually hanging about Lunar land, I suggest. ;)

What was I thinking! Clearly, it's Aldrya and not ol' Scratch that'll make
the album covers. And what Trollish rebel band *doesn't* have an album
entitled "Foodsong?"

So if it's not metal, and not rap, is it country? Trolls bewailing the
Curse o' Kin with "Yer Cheating Womb" and "Mommas, don't let your babies
turn out to be Trollkin" or commemorating Kingtroll with "Achy

Breaky Arkat"?
