Music Genres you hate.

[tigermilk]

I'm deeply uncomftorable with the normalisation/legitimisation of misogoyny and homophobia in music (yes mainly "rap" in my experience) and that racism is a no go area (not that I condone racism I just dislike the hypocricy or implication one is worse and that is that and doesn't warrant discussion).

I have heard the cultural relativism argument (its part of person "x" or "y"'s culture, to which I feel no, that is just a dangerous oversimplification and legitimising process which perpetuates hate.

The musician (in the case of rap) is discussing the fictional acts of a character. I don't feel this is made clear enough, specifically in my experience when a number of fans don't see this. Should a musician be held responsible for their fans? I don't know. Are their a lot of cretins who take it all literaly and perpetuate hateful ideas? Yes.


While I am aware rap is not the only culprit (and of course it is not all rap music) I believe no genre is so imbedded within the mainstream as rap.

I don't really "hate" any genre. I think there is good music in just about every genre of music, and I have nothing but respect for people who write and sing their own songs. Even if the genre is not in my prefered taste.
However there is one thing I really can't stand, and that is Boy/Girlbands. I can't stand what they represent, and I really don't count that as a genre of music either. To me it's just goodlooking people doing commercials to music.

EDIT: also, I'm going to go out on a limb here and tell everyone that I like rap. Not rap in general. God No! But rap that is actually about stuff, and not just how many "bitches" you have and how big your house is and what car you drive.

Rap, it's just vile, i like the odd song but most sound identical, they all talk about the same thing and dare i say they are all sang with the same voice, i dislike it with a passion, i'm not to fond of metal either, but then my ears are shot from loud music and gaming

 

[Sebenko]

Anything my brother listens to. He's like a proto-hipster, but instead of shitty music no-one has heard of, he listens to shitty hiphop and pop music.

 

[Reagus]

RnB/Hip-hop since it has to be the only genre that I can't think of a single good song from. I mean rap at least has one or two ofEminem's original material and Weird Al's parady raps.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Rap, Hip-hop, RnB and some types of Metal.

 

[someotherguy]

Also, that auto tuned talking by someone named kesha. No, I'm not spelling it l33tly.

 

[xplosive59]

cannot stand Deathcore as it is a discrase to all the other genres of metal, it is so simple to play compared to other genres of metal and all the bands sound the same, take bring me the horizon for an example they cannot write a good song, the guitars and bass are terrible and their fans annoy me so much because they think listening to them is "hardcore", also pretty much anything with core in the name other than Grindcore cause it just seems to be a scene kid territory, although i dont mind Killswitch Engage

 

[RichardThompson]

Mainstream Pop, Rap and Death Metal. I like being able to hear what's being sung, and I can't stand those stupid Hypocritic song-writers who sing songs about being high or drunk or killing people and then talk a whole load of shit about how it's not to be taken literally.

I do like metal and rap, but it tends to be by artists who originate around the 70's/80's eg. Sugar Hill Gang for rap or Iron Maiden for metal. Prog Rock/Metal is my favourite genre.

 

[Xeros]

None. While I mostly stick with Industrial Metal, and Melo-Death, I listen to a good bit of everything.

 

[Talshere]

R&B/hiphop and new age rap where all they ever rap about is how much money they have and how many hoes they got.

 

[hyperhammy]

Techno, hard rock, metal, speed metal, death metal, deathcore, hardcore death metal....

 

[Blue Musician]

No offense to anyone, but there is my list of genres I hate:

• Pop
  Rap (with the exclusion of 2 artists)
  Reggae
  Country
  Folk
  Electronic (For the most part)

And basically everything mainstream.

 

[Nazz3]

Rap, I just dont get whats so appealing in it, its just some guy rapping with a simple background beat.

And some of the black and death metal. (Not melodeath or melodic black metal though)

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

Whatever 30 Seconds To Mars are, emo or something. And almost all metalcore. And pretty much everything NME promotes/covers/plays. I loathe hipster bands...

Awkward chap with high-strung Telecaster and higher-strung voice with puberty beard whining-next. Awkward chap with keyboard that he can't stop staring at with even higher strung voice and puberty mustache-NEXT!

 

[KaosuHamoni]

I can rap the whole second one.

DO IT DO IT DO IT!!! =]

OT: I think i speak for everyone here when i say...


He defiles any genre he is in, so he has his own

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

Most rap music, pop and some R&B. I also can't stand dance music, electro and techno.

Oh and I don't like death metal either (though strangely I like melodic death metal)

 

[Ickorus]

Rap, hiphop, mainstream pop and most metal.

 

[Hosker]

Just about anything that isn't classical or from Japan

 

[Nickolai77]

Any and all rap or hiphop, mainstream shitty pop, dubstep and other remixed bullshit, RnB, grunge, dance music and extreme death metal.

Pretty much this. ^

I would add that some mainstream rock songs really annoy me. Some don't, but some do, it depends on the band.


You also have an Iron Maiden avatar, who happen to be my favourite band.
