Poll: Music that needs to Die

[gbemery]

How about we just randomly pick one person in the world and ask him/her what they like and get rid of everything else. I mean everything, music, art, games, clothes, cars, buildings, people, hair styles etc. That there would only be one choice for every type of pass time. If you wanted to listen to music there could only be one genre, if you wanted to play a game it would only be one genre to choose from, if you wanted to buy a car well you know what there is only one model and it come in black so you better be happy with it. All of this would be such a great idea so i don't have to listen or read about how someone doesn't like something and is confused as to how everyone else doesn't agree that their ideas and tastes are fucking gold plated and flawless. Wouldn't that make for a better world? /rant

Alanis Morisette.

The woman needs to die.

Oh, really?


Repent!

 

[Soushi]

MOst of the ones listed.

Death Metal needs to die, which is a little ironic when you think about it.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

All rap 'music'. I fail to see how a beat and some dude doing [shitty] poetry is music. Calling rap music is like calling that fake wrestling on TV a sport...

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

I picked the crappy love ballads. They're just so damn annoying. At least the sexually inappropriate bubble gum pop usually has hot chicks doing the inappropriate dancing.

 

[SinisterGehe]

Rap and Hip Hop, since they are not music at all they are poetry.
Why?
They do not fill the requirements of the theory of music.
1. Rythm (Check)
2. Theme (½ Check)
3. Melody
4. Constructive base.

And I see it as waste of time money and many times talent, I have seen talented musicians around me drop the instrument they originally played and turned to rave their feelings to rap/hip hop.
(yeah I know there are talented rappers/hoppers that do other things, that is beside my point)

I am a huge metalhead, and have an extensive collection of all different sorts of metal, but the one I despise the most is the incredibly mainstream, 'American' ones (Using that in a broad sense), where they play the guitar and scream a little bit, but the lyrics are all about love and girls, much like pop music. Also they usually have a normally sung chorus by some teen with a whiny voice.

But soon as there's no apparent option for that, I pick rap... stupid talking people...

wheres the option for brokencyde, and dot dot curve.

those need to go... SO fast. Honestly if the members of brokencyde got hit by a bus. I would be happy

 

[ChocoFace]

Everything i don't like, naturally.
in all seriousness though, i don't think there's any genre in music that needs to die.

 

[saruman31]

You are missing the "All stated above" option.

BonsaiK, I actually love you so bad.

 

[LatinGeek]

Where's the everything option

 

[JimmerDunda]

Rap/hip hop is a big one.

The mainstream industry for the most part is way down in the tubes. Most of the idiots in it for the money like T-pain, Lil John, Kanye, Flo Rida, etc should all die in a hell storm fire.

I only like a select few and eminem is one of them. Some of his music is rather crude but the guy speaks what he thinks and doesn't really sell himself out and I can respect that.

Country is so bad its almost not worth mentioning it.

The mainstream pop can easily relate to the mainstream hip hop, in fact they overlap a lot.

Now before being called a hipster, I am mostly a fan of house electro and alternative rock. I went to a Deadmau5 rave this week and it was awesome. He is up there for my favorite DJ's. I also enjoy A Trak a lot. I envy you Canadians and your good DJ's.

 

[Continuity]

None of the above. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean others should be deprived of it.

Yeah, like syphilis... Wouldn't want to deprive anyone of that just because I don't want it.

 

[DreamerM]

Where's the everything option

I have added it if I could, believe you me.

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Rap.

Although I somewhat like the irony of a guy talking for an hour and a half about killing people with various implements, walking offstage after uttering "peace", all the while there's 8 kids been shanked in the crowd for no reason.

 

[Rusty Bucket]

I had fun going through this thread reporting half the posts.

None of this needs to die. I don't like them, but that doesn't mean they're without merit.

 

[fullbleed]

None, just because I don't like a certain genre or type of music doesn't mean it should be scourged from the earth? If you don't like then don't listen, it's as simple as fucking that!

 

[Geekosaurus]

Pretty much all of them. But mostly R'n'B and all the crappy music it spawns. I remember when being a musician meant you could play and instrument and/or sing. Actually...no I can't.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I think the world would still Spin without Pop. I mean, nowadays, its rather lame. It used to be pop rock, but then pussyfied itself. sure, there was good pop and sometimes there still is. And its alot about mood really when you listen to it.

But it just bugs me that these disney stars and Justin Beiber types are getting all this recognition in the world when good bands go un noticed because they're flavor of the month. That, and that everyone acts all shocked when these teen sensations do something wrong (miley cyrus and all her stuff, Justin punching a kid out for callling him gay, katy perry not able to be on sesame street becuase appearantly in this day and age kids who watch sesame street have never seen cleavage before). They;re growing up, of course they're going to do this crap. You odnt need to make a story about it. I mean yeah, the concern is that they'll turn girls in to whores, but thats a small part of culture that does that for girls nowadays.

This was all spoken from the perspective of a guy, so maybe I need two X chromosomes instead of one and a Y to get it.
