I used to be like that, but then I grew up. I don't even find EDM as ennerving as I used to, and can even prefer that to grindcore or some really old dude-rock like AC/DC or whatever, whereas before everything remotely related to rock was better by default. I can find specific songs and artists annoying though.

I hate punk. Or rather, I hate punks. I love punk music, but all the portland punk kiddos suck so much, they try to seem poor but most of them are not even close, then they shit on my for not dressing punk enough (which is fucking weird cause who gives a shit?). I hate them. (Not to say there aren't some fine punks, just the majority of the ones I'm used to suck terribly)

I hate most country music though.

lol what? rock is one of the most mainstream genres that exist, even metal. metallica is one of the best selling bands ever.

hip hop fans are well aware of rock and metal, especially the old school, horrorcore and southern hip hop fans. there was a lot of love for slayer among those fan bases, for example. maybe there are quite a few of pop rap fans that aren't aware or it isn't on their radar, but it's an entirely inaccurate generalization. growing up, a lot of my friends bonded over swapping southern hip hop mix tapes (three six mafia before they exploded, a lot of houston-based rap, latin hip hop etc.) and thrash (early metallica, slayer, anthrax) and some hardcore/metalcore (madball, hatebreed, etc.)

maybe we were atypical, but i mean, we were some podunk high school in the middle of texas. it's hard for me to believe that kind of exchange didn't go on in NYC or LA, especially considering how many rap artists themselves were really into metal and punk and brought it to their fans.

ah, okay. well, even then, they're probably aware of it but just don't care for it. i've only once or twice heard a rap fan actively hate on metal, as opposed to the legion of metal fans who go out of their way to shit all over rap.

rap is an incredibly varied world, though. probably more so than any genre.

generally genres i dislike are fairly specific subgrenres, i cant think of an 'umbrella' genre (i.e 'rock' 'jazz') that i dislike as a whole. Don't like twee pop (although i kind of like the idea of twee pop) don't like glam metal much, don't really care for electric blues and i detest smooth jazz. I'm not keen on grunge at all which i suppose is the biggest single style of music i actively won't listen to. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

As a side-note i like a lot of stuff that epitomizes 'the worst' from a lot of genres - i actively prefer really obnoxious tough-guy deathcore and really debased slam death metal, likewise i like a lot of 'gangster shit' with hip-hop.

E:

i also actively love disco, new age and exotica so if i wasnt already the last person on earth anyone would want to talk to about music at a party i certainly am now.

Modern christian music in general.

Now, there have been a couple of Christian bands that I actually like (Daniel Amos, Five Iron Frenzy, early Stryper), but the vast majority of it is based entirely on creating bland, non-threatening 'alternatives' to popular secular music.

the modern christian music that is put out today wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't so obviously fake. old time church music is fucking awesome and i'll listen to that all day, because there is an emotional vigor in it that makes it great to listen to and is sometimes genuinely uplifting or introspective. but this dreck that's being churned out is truly god awful, soulless crap.

new age and exotica are pretty good to listen to in some contexts for me. i really like some early disco from the 70s (Michael Jackson's early stuff, some Bee Gees, etc.) but there's a new disco trend that i just picked up on a couple weeks ago and it's making me question why it was needed, necessary, why people enjoy it, etc.

I am not particularly fond of country music, especially given the general culture of nationalism and conservatism associated with it.

that's the pop country music mostly and mainly exists with artists associated with the record labels in nashville. most nashville music has been pretty horrible, except for a brief period in the late 50s and early 60s and then again, briefly, in the late 80s and early 90s.

when you get into the different "scenes" and sounds, it varies a lot -- in terms of politics and style. the Red Dirt stuff from Oklahoma has a very strong strain of, at least, political liberalism, mostly having to do with Woody Guthrie's influence. the Outlaw country from central Texas and Bakersfield, CA, is very counter-culture oriented and sometimes references back to the era when country started. there's country blues from the delta and Mississippi hill country. the newer (~20 - 23 years) Denver sound (16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna's Auto Club) has spawned an entirely new generation of "dark country" and "dark Americana" bands and tends to deal with more personal, than political, issues. Tejano, which is basically spanish language country, is fun to listen to and typically doesn't get too political. there's Western swing, which is almost never political, like Bob Wills, or the Hot Club of Cowtown.

etc. etc.

I never did understand why do the more trad death metal folks find something unappealing in Demilich, but yeah that's the thing with taste - you develop it or not.

the modern christian music that is put out today wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't so obviously fake.

I find it humorous - it's taking a sound that comes from a raw, real place and unintentionally parodies it by "appropriating" it (as it were) to Christianity, making it what it's not.

Like, I've heard Christian hip-hop, Christian metal, then there's the generic Christian rock... it's soooo goofy sounding every time, because they're all based on real genres that all already are saying something and putting something on the table. Metal, for example, in angry and raw and pained... you can't have a metal song about Jesus without it being a purposeful parody or unintentionally hilarious.

Rarely there might be something that's Christian music that I like (The Psalters - a hippie folk/folk-punk group, for example), but it's 99% phony.

Idk about that. The recent wave of experimental black metal coming out of North America are one of the few currents keeping rock music alive as an innovative genre. I think rock has been going through a hyper-nostalgic midlife crisis since the 2000s.

The whole circular logic of "technicality and overproduction" for the sake of "technicality and overproduction" that death metal follows is tasteless imho. It's exactly what I don't like about what death metal has become. I'd rather listen to some black metal subsuming bluegrass, shoegaze/dream pop, or prog rock.

A Sun That Never Sets was kind of an awkward time for them. They were trying to transition to some more stripped down music after spending a decade playing very layered and textured stuff, and it came off very hit and miss.

From the 90s, I'd recommend Times of Grace and Through Silver In Blood (my favorite is Enemy of the Sun, but it's not a good intro to the band.) For the 2000s, I'd go with Given to the Rising. A Sun That Never Sets is supposedly their most "accessible" record, but it's also one of their more mediocre records. I can skip around on that CD and listen to songs individually. I'd never do that when listening to Through Silver In Blood or Enemy of the Sun.

But, it might just be a band you don't dig. Neurosis is a hard shell for many to crack and really get into.

No genre is hate-worthy, though plenty of songs or bands can be really annoying.

I don't see the appeal of almost any kind of metal though. The hair metal that was popular when I was young made me initially totally disinterested in rock. The hard metal today sounds like somebody took all the past discarded droppings of hardcore punk genres and gave it to some jocks. it sounds like the music version of really uptight 13 year old boys masterbating.

A lot of modern "hard" punk just makes me sad for punk. I guess music generes that were supposed to be iconoclastic and push originality shouldn't last 35-40 years.

I'd never thought I'd think this, but Kanye west is probably the most interesting thing in mainstream pop music. At least he's a rock star. He's kinda absurd, but at least it's exciting.

I love quite a bit of rap, several subgenres of metal, classic rock and some newer rock, old country and folk, punk music that is actually leftist, grindcore, powerviolence, some hardcore and deathcore but the latter two are rare.

have you tried American black metal tho.
Unfortunately.

And this pretty much perfectly summarizes my feelings about every kind of metal I've ever heard. :grin:

So people hate black metal, techno and christian songs (is that a genre?). Not even in a thread meant for bullshitting about music is revleft even mildly entertaining.

This reminds me of a thread a while back where people were to admit their prejudices, and all people came up with were how they hated fascists and rich people. Do leftists have to be so boring and predictable?

^I read this thread recently. It was pretty funny actually. Everyone was like "I have a prejudice towards reactionaries lol communizm", then some guy comes and "yea fucking gypsies should be killed". (EDIT: I was referring to Zukunftsmusik)

To be honest, I expected this thread to be full of hate against pop-music and love for Red Army choirs and bash-the-fash-freedom-anarchy, or alternatively socialism-stalingrado-fuck-nazis, lameness.

I hate all music that is not classical / baroque. I guess people were just much more musically talented before music became a state enterprise. Or is that not the case?

Butt Rock (i.e pearl jam, nickelback, theory of a deadman) and its companion Ass Metal (anything youve ever heard someone really into wrestling play and also Hellyeah because fuck hellyeah) are the only genres I truly hate, like even compared to AOR and contemporary top 40 stuff (which have a few redeemingly cheesy gems.)

I figure someone who unironically likes suicide silence at the age of 22 has to find someone lower down on the musical feeding chain to laugh at.

My favourite part of that thread is when YABM admits to hate/having hated "yaps" and when people started pointing out how this was kinda problematic someone chimed in and said that after all YABM was the only one who actually had a prejudice. This was around the same time, I think, that YABM had referred to some child actor as "hot". The Internet is a weird place.
