Genres you dislike/hate

hon pa

I like to think of myself as pretty open-minded when it comes to music and will give pretty much anything a chance, but two types of music I really just cannot listen to no matter who it is form are Death Metal and Glam Rock. I really just can't stand anything from these styles of music. Now, i'm not trying to offend anyone or start an argument, i'm just giving my opinion. I'd be curious to know other peoples opinions and what other genres people in the music forum can't stand to listen to..

this is likely to be productive thread...I can't insert the smiley for turning me eyes to heaven unfortunately.

Just to address the Death Metal thing, the problem is that there's quite a difference between certain Death Metal styles so dismissing an entire genre like that isn't a good idea in my opinion and certainly doesn't tally with being "pretty open-minded when it comes to music". How about melodic death metal e.g. Arch Enemy? Technical death metal e.g. Cynic? or even deathgrind e.g. Cattle Decapitation? Those 3 bands sound quite different to each other.

The same probably applies to glam rock as well .

While I generally dislike metal music, and the usual drivel you hear on the radio daily, my pet hate is Irish country and western. :rolleyes:

Hey, I may be a nerd and a metal fan but... what was that third thing you said?

Caught

Haha. I think I like them all. I'm pretty open-minded tbh with music. I love heavy metal rock to country western. From pop to hiphop. I'm not a huge fan on the classical stuff like Mozart [like, I wouldnt have it on my iPod] but I could sit through an orchestra playing sure nuff.

Maybe I havent heard all these mad genres yous have though. Feel free to enlighten me with ones I may possibly hate. :L

+1 on the jazz and Irish C & W. That said there are probably songs that I do like that some people might class as jazz(y). Also dislike most Rap, hip-hop and what is called R & B these days.

Whenever someone says something like that, I always ask the same thing; have you ever listened to proper hip hop?

i like my metal,i like my french house,i like my 90s hip hop,i like my electro,i like my rock,i like my trojan reggae and i like my DnB but what i can't stand is trad,pop and country Irish.3 genres created by satan himself

Kold

Post Punk and Eurodance.

While I admit to posting on this thread, I cant say I see the point of it. It is only human nature that tastes will vary, and that one person's meat is another's poison.

But surely you could apply this logic to loads of threads and forums on this site? People come on here to post their opinions and argue their points, I don't see how this thread is any different.



Btw, cant stand irish country and western and death metal , used to despise rap, but then I listened to it properly.

Regarding death metal, what style are you referring to? See this post for what I mean.

JerryHandbag

I grew up solely on a diet of guitar music, but nowadays I would actually rather listen to rap and hip hop (which I useda despise) than any of those emo bands.

fikay

I like music that isn't shite.
The rest is just shite.

ThunderApple

I don't like trance (I think it's called trance). I always have headache when I hear this kind of 'music'.
I love rock and metal but I do respect professionals of other music genres and I'm always open for new artists but trance......:rolleyes:

JerryHandbag

Oh yes, trance has made me think of that section of dance music which I dont consider proper dance music at all.....that sh1te cheesy dance music where they take rock songs and put god awful eurodance beats behind it....like that utter crap Ultrabeat covering Kings of Leon. Pure muck.....eurodance? eurohouse? or is it considered trance? Whatever it is, its dreadful. Music for modified Toyota Starlets :pac:

When I think of dance music, I think of The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, DJ Shadow etc, not that ****e.

Malice

Have a listen to this and tell me that you still hate trance:

I did think of one genre I can't stand - Gabber. I challenge anyone to find a good Gabber song!

Well, i suppose i've never really 'given it a chance' , but flicking through the channels and hearing the sh!te that comes on kerrang and scuzz sometimes and from browsing some of the threads on the rock forum I just don't like what I hear. Maybe there are some songs I like in the genre, but after hearing a fair few songs, i'm not willing to filter the crap i'm hearing to find anything good to be honest.

Once again, this is just my opinion, I'm not calling it 'bad' music since everyones tastes vary, I just made this thread because I was curious of what music was unpopular with many people.

Wait, what? You're basing your opinion on Death Metal on tv channels who's contribution to Death Metal is the occasional Arch Enemy video which probably only gets shown due to the Angela Gossow + teenage boys factor?

And also, reading through the rock & metal forum. Festivals like download, rock am ring and bloodstock are the ones i would associate with death metal(as well as many other genre's) but from what i've heard I don't like that kind of music. You obviously don't agree with me and I respect the fact that you enjoy that kind of music but I really don't want to get into a debate, I was just giving my opinion.

It's not that I don't agree (obviously I don't) it's just that you originally posted:

I asked you to clarify that and you responded with:

So you say you're open minded but you're willing to dismiss an entire sub-genre of metal based on what you see on Kerrang or Scuzz which as I pointed out rarely broadcast that particular style of metal you're dismissive of. In essence, as far as I can see, you're dismissing something without actually taking the time to inform yourself about it properly.

Lastly you shouldn't start an inflammatory thread and then say you don't want a debate when that's exactly what you're going to get. This is a discussion forum after all. If all this thread consisted of was a chorus of people all professing their dislike for Irish Country & Western it'd be pretty boring wouldn't it?

Rigsby

I think it's pissing in the wind, someone trying to defend their taste in music. I said in an earlier post, and stand by it, that this thread is pointless. It is a recipe for a slagging match. Yes, it makes for a disscussion, but a boring one IMO, as with music in particular most people have "well bedded in" tastes, and are unlikely to be persuaded to change.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I started the thread to get other peoples opinions/see what genre's other people don't like. Not to get them confronting my opinion. You like metal, I don't. I just want people to post what genre's they don't like to listen to, I was curious.. that's all. I don't find that boring, I was reading other peoples opinions on the matter and was fairly surprised Irish country and Western was so disliked! Just to clarify so..

Examples of death metal bands i don't like (since I'm being too general)
Amon Amarth
Cannibal Corpse
Cradle of Filth
Devildriver
Morbid Angel

I just can't listen to that kind of stuff, event the names make me cringe at how hard they try to sound "dark"..

And the lyrics to some of this stuff? from cannibal corpses "addicted to vaginal skin" for example:

"The curse is broken
I have a dependence on vaginal skin
It's become my sexual addiction
I must slit, the twitching clit
Rotted cavity hold the juice"

How can that be defended? It's vile to say in the least. really, just not my cup of tea. And whether or not I was being too general is another thing, But I honestly just don't like any of it.

Agreed, i regret making this thread. I'm not going to change my opinion and neither is anyone else. i was just curious to see other peoples views on some of the genres's of music floating around today.

I still hate Trance. Never liked Metal (the loudest rock I'd listen to would be Queens of the Stone Age) or Jazz

I listened to scuzz for a half an hour(with friends, everyone was to lazy to turn it off) and it played some of the worst music i've heard in years. Really poppy emo type stuff, i never really talked to anyone that liked this stuff, i'm not really sure what the market is. I'd much rather listen to one of the mainstream pop channels, although not my taste, than scuzz. If your looking for good music from a genre tv is probably not the best place to find it. I used to not like metal because i just heard some stuff from pantera and the likes. Then i found bands like Don Caballero which i love

As for genre's its hard to dismiss the whole thing without a good listen, which you're not likely to do with a dismissive attitude. Saying that I can't stand that Irish country and western stuff either, basing this purely on a few random songs i heard on the radio. I've heard a few opera songs that i like but on the whole i switch stations when it comes on the radio.

How do you dislike the basis for all other western music?

Rubik.

Traditional Irish music wrecks my head.

James T Kirk

If you don't like Trance, at least listen* to the original album of the species: Oxygene (1976). If you still hate it, fair enough.

*with headphones!

Kold

I like all types of music except for rap and country.

KnifeWRENCH

Irish Country & Western is pretty damn apalling. Turn on the radio on a Sunday afternoon and you'll hear a bunch of Oirish shite where every song sounds the same and is always about Fair Biddy from the village whose father died for Ireland, or something along those lines.

Generally I'm not a fan of metal, rap or dance music but I wouldn't dismiss those genres entirely as they are all so broad. Like there are a few rappers I can bear to listen to (M.I.A., Public Enemy, The Fugees) but gangsta rap is dreadful imo.

DazMarz

Trance, techno, electro, rap, hip-hop, modern trash labelled as "R n B", modern pop music... you know, the stuff you hear blaring out of boy racer cars or "scanger bangers".

Irish country music... words cannot begin to describe.

KrazeeEyezKilla

I'm not a fan of Country & Irish but it's harmless enough. I'd take it over the 'Hat Acts' that they have in America.

The worst type of music would be hybrid genres like Popera or attempts to make pop out of classical. Awful ****e that's neither one thing or the other and is just a boring sludge.

Then you also have the likes of Soilwork, In Flames, Engel etc. which are death metal and sound completely different to the ones you mentioned above

The Pontiac

I think I can appreciate all types of music. I certainly don't 'hate' any genre like the title suggests. My music taste is fairly broad - for instance I went to see Frankie Gavin and the New De Danann last weekend (an Irish trad band), and I was probably the youngest person there. But it was €20 well spent, and they were great. Ronnie Wood was even a guest on their last album, so it just goes to show that musicians from completely different musical backgrounds can come together and play, and appreciate each other. Like Pavarotti doing that duet with Bono, or the one Nick Cave did with Kylie. Or Bowie and Bing Crosby. Magnificent stuff!! Lee Scatch Perry also co-wrote Big Muff with John Martyn, which appeared on the One World album. Or The Cure, who took their name from the Nick Drake song "Time Has Told Me" ("a troubled cure for a troubled mind"), according to Drake's wiki page anyway. The greatest goth rock, post-punk band (or whatever you want to call it), name themselves after the greatest folk singer-songwriter of all time. Enough said!

I think this genre hating thing is full of bitterness, and pretty sad indeed.

I must have missed this when you posted it originally. I can't really defend any Cannibal Corpse lyrics, I think they are simply put together for shock value and I can see how they would turn someone off.

As I said earlier in the thread, this is a discussion forum. Threads like this are far more interesting than a chorus of one sentence posts with little or no actual discussion attached to them so you shouldn't regret it at all.

I think you'll find Soilwork, In Flames and Arch Enemy are naturally going to sound a bit like each other considering they're all Swedish. I've never listened to Engel so I can't comment on them.

Yeah....thats not trance by a long shot. In fact what most people would label as trance music (e.g that **** that gets radio plays) is nowhere even near proper Trance music (which is basically a genre you'd never hear unless you were specifically looking for it).

nyarlothothep wrote: »

Absolutely agree. I ****ing hate Mumford & Sons and the prententious rubbish they put out as music. Also Beyonce, Lady Gaga and any of the rest of those cringe inducingly bad "artistes".

Nailz

Irish Country n' Westerm (few here disagree), Modern day disco R'n'B ****e (Rhythm n' Blues is the real R'n'B), Modern Pop-Rap (Eminem and those bollocks'), Classic Hip Hop is the **** though, Modern Indie Rock (the not so Indie ones)...

Unsinnig

Hip-Hop, whether 'modern', 'real', 'old-skool', 'hip-pop', etc, whatever you want to call it is utter tosh.

If it's on MTV, you can almost put money on the fact that it's utterly inane drivel, conjured up by some tool hiding behind the moniker of 'artist'.

Your one Lady Gaga, or even that 50Pence fella are a prime example. Stupid people, making stupid music, which is making society stupid. Whatever happened to the pride in music? It's all a money making scheme.

I'll not argue the fact.

Hell, Irish Country and Western, however contrived and cliched, still at least contains people singing and playing musical insruments. I'll take that over 'urban flava' any day.

This is Ireland, after all, and not south central Los Angeles, aaaaaiiiggghhhhttt?...ahem
