Diggin'

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=diggin

At first when I read this sentence I thought that the author was talking about people physically digging music like in a hole or some metaphor. However, when I looked it up and found it was street lingo for liking something and the action of liking something. This definition helped me figure out the meaning of the sentence "ain't it bad diggin the latest music." This means isn't it bad to like the latest, hippist music. It is a question I now understand. Knowing this word also gives me a sense of the author and the kind of women she is. This word is very "hip" and by her using it tells me she is very with it when it comes to being hip and cool. She is not very old fashion, it also means she is very accustom to hearing people use street talk or slang. It might be a testament to her finacial status in maybe not the greatest way. This word helped me understand the message of the poem in some ways it lets me see that the author is talking about she seems confused because old people or richer people or different people then her race or age or status are telling her things are bad and she doesn't know if there bad because they seem to contridict themselves the person telling them the are wrong.
