music you dislike

[ruin]

country, bluegrass and most rap.

[FleshbagWasp]

Country, really long and sleepy music, the majority of modern English rap, hyperpop, songs with a lot of profanity/vulgarity for no reason, and songs that feature a lot of bass (I get headaches from it and I'm sick of people driving by and blaring it through their speakers).

Edit: I also forgot to mention songs where there's a lot of effects playing while the vocalist is singing or are applied on their voice (It just frustrates me because I can't understand a word they're saying), most Imagine Dragon and Panic at the Disco songs, and for some reason I don't like a lot of songs sung by those with high pitched voices/sopranos and most altos.

i tend to try to find enjoyment in all genres of music, but I'd say the only thing I genuinely can't stand in a song is when an artist has terrible lyrics without a cool beat or melody to make up for it. the only artist that comes to mind that I genuinely cannot stand is yung gravy. he's incredibly misogynistic and the samples of old songs he uses at the beggining of most of his songs is the backbone of his music lol

[envy]

songs that are overplayed on the radio

a lot of you saying you hate all r&b and rap does not sit right with me....

...I really, like, believe this might be an unpopular opinion: but I hate it when people say blanket statements like 'all pop music is trash' or 'I hate rap.'

Honestly, like, there is a hierarchy of tastes that exists in modern society. If you're upper class, you're more likely to be... well, y'know, be a person who enjoys 'high art' like, say: classical music, or fine arts like ballet. If you're lower or lower middle class, you're more likely to take part in pop culture. For some people living in poverty, rap has served an extremely important purpose to those who listen to it. Maybe not commercialized rap, but then again it's arguable that all music gives way to capitalist necessity and turns 'commercialized' at some point, right?

Pop and rap can still be fun to listen to! Not all music has to be some intense, emotional or even intellectual experience. I'll listen to Ariana Grande and dance if my room if I want to. That doesn't mean I'm not capable of loving all sorts of other genres--anti-pop and anti-rap, folk punk, new wave jazz, movie soundtracks etc. All that means is I'm a person who likes to let go a bit, right? Who likes to take a step back and stop being so critical all the time. Because I'm so tired of being critical.

And hey, don't get me wrong: I think it's important to criticize pop culture. But when people push-off entire genres it appears almost pretentious and elitist by default. Maybe you grew up listening to Mozart, while the kid in the inner city next door will grow-up listening to Kendrick Lamar: someone who's been dubbed the voice of an entire generation of African Americans. Maybe that's not your demographic. And that's okay, too. But it's important to acknowledge that we're all made-up of our social surroundings. Nobody's taste in music has to be better than anyone else's--we don't have to adhere to a hierarchy created years upon years ago. There are so, so many factors that influence what we like!

Anyways. Sorry. Something about this thread has just bothered me, and I wanted to write it down. If this post isn't welcome or this isn't the kind-of discussion that's needed please feel free to delete it!

To answer the question itself: I'm not into metal! I really appreciate the metal community, and I absolutely love the rush that one gets from being in a crowd at a metal concert. Mosh pits are awesome. But I think I have trouble understanding the lyrics sometimes, so unless I'm at a concert, I probably won't listen to it. Love the scene, though! Metalheads seem so cool! I wish I knew more, aha. c:

agree !!!

r&b grates on my ears. it can be good, but most of it is awful.
especially 80s r&b. theyre all about the same things and it all sounds horrible to me. they all have this slow momentum and i despise it.

[changbin]

i don't like kpop

[Superball]

Okay I'm gonna flip a table if I hear this band ever again. I absolutely hate Limp Bizkit. Their music is absolute trash and their lyrics remind me of a 10 year old using the voicechat function on Fortnite. Miss me with that.
you can like them, but I just don't wanna hear this boring nonsense

[Laikryn]

I hate country so much
also a lotta pop singers
They had one arc, and then they become tasteless
