Your least favourite genres/sub-genres of music?

*Prowler* · 05-21-2019, 03:17 PM

Pretty much every genre or sub-genre of music has something I like if I look hard enough, but there's types of music that I generally just don't like or cant' get into.

Reggae: I just can't get into reggae. Of the bigger genres of music this is my least favourite one. I can't put my finger on it, but it just turns me off.

Hardcore music in general: You know, the type of music with screaming vocals? That's something people wrongly associate with metal music, but the screaming vocals you're thinking of are actually hardcore bands or metal bands that core varieties in their sound. I like the growling vocals of death metal and can tolerate black metal vocals, but hardcore? No.

A lot of "club music": Like EDM, techno and such. The closest thing I like to club music would be retro-themed synthwave or vaporwave. Otherwise it's rare to find something I like.

For reference, my favourite genres are metal, classical, jazz, synthwave, vaporwave, j-pop and k-pop. Ofc I also like a lot of rock and pop music but those are such broad categories that it'd be hard not to like a lot of stuff in them.

I don't know if that Skrillex & Justin Bieber song is dubstep, but if it is, then it's literally the one good dubstep song I have ever heard. All the rest of dubstep is garbage.

I really can't stand "pop" music, like boy bands and Top 40 stuff.

I'm rather forgiving to a point about most other genres. For example I'm not a huge rap guy, but I do have a mix CD full of a bunch of rap songs I thoroughly enjoy. But the bubblegum stuff I just find completely vapid and soulless.

I'm also not huge into electronic music, like club stuff, but I adore KFMDM, for example.

I'm complicated.

I feel that pop music has gotten way worse this century. There's some cool pop songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I feel like most of the big pop hits all sound the same nowadays, basically.

I don't think anyone beyond teenage girls cares about boy bands

Country Music aka whining with a backing track and instruments.

Also Skrillex aka noise

most Rap I don't like certain ones

I like to think I have an eclectic taste in music. I'll listen to Michael Jackson one minute, then crank up some Fear Factory the next. But there are some genres that I either won't listen to or listen to a lot less than others.

Dubstep: I don't hate it, but I can't get into it, listen to it, or understand its popularity. I think it's just noise, really.

Rap: To be more specific, current rap. I don't like the sound and think it doesn't send the right message properly. I know there are some songs that have some deep meaning behind them but their delivery just sounds like they promote the wrong methods to a resolve a situation. I also can't stand the need for people to blare it out their cars and houses, making everyone else's windows shake and vibrate. Doesn't make me like it any better. Knock that the f**k off.

Pop: Mostly from after or during the year 2000. Occasionally there'll be a few gems amid the muck, but a lot of it just seems to be a mishmash of used bubblegum.

Country: Being married to a country girl, I've gotten used to it. She seems to have an ear for the good stuff. But in general, I could take it or leave it -- and more often than not, leave it. I find it hokey, formulaic, and predictable. It always seems to be about the same thing. And when it gets preachy, oh boy does it drown you in it.

I'm also pretty picky about the genres I do like, mainly metal. I can't stand screaming vocals. That just makes the songs incoherent and lose their meaning. I don't like having to look up lyrics just to know what the person is saying. The closest I can get to tolerating it is Mudvayne.

I’m not a big fan of music in general tbh, though I like at least a bit of most genres aside from death metal and opera.

Death metal: Hard to understand what’s been said. Doesn’t help that I’m more of a lyrics person.

Opera: Too flipping loud.
