Music thread: What kind of music do you NOT like?

[aquaman]

Me, modern R&B, what a joke, and most music that is played on the radio. I am somewhat open in regard to my music taste, I can listen to Bluegrass and move to Punk and be content. But it is lots of fun to hate bands, so what band do you really hate? Me, let me pick one out of the 1,000's. Creed.

1. radio pop and country.

just turns my stomach, can't help it.

[aquaman]

2. I hate modern country music

But I love me some ole Johnny Cash!

[PittPoliSci]

3. yeah, i agree.

i also like some bluegrass. johnny cash is good, modern country is just lame.

4. Prefabricated fake boyband silicone titted shitty pop music.... and disco

yeah, there's always been bubblegum music, but it's never been as legitimized before as it has in the last few years. AeroShit inviting Britney and N'Suck onstage at the Super Bowl. Boybands on the cover of fucking Rolling Stone. Avril Lavigne claiming to be a "punk". Def Leppard letting the Swedish pedophiles write their last album (uh, you guys remember an album called "High & Dry"?? It was fucking brilliant, damn it!! Bring back Pete Willis if that's what it takes to save your sorry asses)

And on edit - since everyone is bashing country....

I liked some of the 90's country. Garth Brooks in particular. And certainly some old school stuff like Johnny Cash and Hank SENIOR (not much of a Bocephus fan, but Hank III seems to show some potential)

But this recent rightwing bullshit Toby keith Darrel Worley Busheep Country????

:puke: :puke: :puke:

5. stole my thunder

[Jim Sagle]

6. Rap. Also heavy metal.

[thermodynamic]

7. Anything with a negative message, and who is responsible for it all?

most rap, most heavy metal... some country I guess but that stuff is more of a depressant than encouraging anti-social behavior.

Now songs that try to incite social awareness is one thing - advocating or praising violence is another.

I'll welcome anything with a positive message, regardless of format. I can even give some respect to those faux Christian CDs being sold at 10:30PM in those dorky commercials...

But back to what I dislike, negative messages and truly bad influences: Eminem's grand contribution to society deserves only one award: "Outstanding achievement for contributing to the breakdown of society" - the same award goes to the heavy metal and rap groups who relish the use of "unsavory lyrics" condoning rape, violence, or murder.

But the real question is, who is responsible for the direction that music genres head in? The artists, or the companies who control the artists?

That old Bill O'Really special he shoveled out had some good points about American media (especially the music industry), but he clearly neglected to mention the root cause of the problem he seems to love so dearly: Such trashy music sells lots of albums and thus makes the record labels lots of big money. The record labels are essentially the problem for condoning the behavior and actions of the artists. They allow it because they will get rich off of it. As long as the conservative media industry condones this atrocity to continue, Billy Boy's dream of a sanitized society is never ever EVER going to happen. Not ever. And he's got to realize that instead of being the usual "We're republicans, do as we say and don't think about it" republican robot.

So, in the end, are the envelope-pushing artists the real problem? Or the corporations who entice bands and groups to create such unsavory 'art' because it'll make them richer in the end?

Again, corporate America is leaching off the system and then turns around and blames the people they exploit. Absolutely sickening.

8. Top 40 and Commercial Country...

:puke:

[Ein]

9. pop country r&b and such

and rap...with few exception. like the beastie boys, cause they are chill... and ICP cause i find some of thier stuff amazingly funny (like thier recent and final album about them being christians, and saying screwed up crap to draw vagrants into christianity) and... just about anything you'll see on mtv or vh1 (the difference disappeared years ago).

[annagull]

10. Anything with Celine /Shania/ Shakira, damn I hate pop

I assume it all goes back to Debby Boone-"You light up my life". I was just a kid, but I hated that music.

[Kamika]

11. country, blue and jazz

cant stand it

[RememberJohn]

12. There is NO music I don't like...

...I just hate the attitudes of some of the more militant fans of various genres.

[Dulcinea]

13. Nu-metal, rap, manufactured teenybop singers & commercial country.

In that order.

[supernova]

14. No one genre, more like individuals I dislike

- Brittnay Spears and other mass market contrived teen pop.
- Fake modern Country. Give me bluegrass any day.
- Almost any piece that doesn't feel authentic either in the song itself or the person trying to sing it.
