your least favorite genre! >:D

[DyersEve]

do you have a genre that you hate? rant it all out here!

......just no flaming. flaming baaaaad..


as for me, i'm going with emo. IMO emo sucks big, giant, floppy, donkey penis. far too whiney for my tastes. "waah my girlfriend kicked me in the balls waah.."
to be depressed about your signigficant other dumping you is understandable... but really, there's no reason to make an entire album out of it is there? there was one song by a little band called bright eyes that i heard recently. it was called "lover i don't have to love" or something along those lines. here's the lyrics..

I picked you out
Of a crowd and talked to you
Said I liked your shoes
You said thanks can I follow you?
So it's up the stairs
And out of view
No prying eyes
I poured some wine
I asked your name you asked the time
Now it's two o'clock,
the club is closed we're up the block
Your hands on me
Pressing hard against your jeans
Your tongue in my mouth
Trying to keep the words from coming out
You didn't care to know
Who else may have been you before
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said to meet me here but I'm not sure
I got the money if you got the time
You said it feels good I said I'll give it a try
Then my mind went dark
We both forgot where your car was parked
Let's just take the train
I'll meet up with the band in the morning
Bad actors with bad habits
Some sad singers
They just play tragic
And the phone's ringing
And the van's leaving
Let's just keep touching
Let's just keep keep singing
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
Where's the kid with the chemicals
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorize
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind
But you but you
You write such pretty words
But life's no story book
Love is an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt
"Do you like to hurt?"
"I do! I do!"
"Then hurt me."



you know what i got from that? "i just drilled a random chick, pity me please." this is the kind of emo that pisses me off the most.

don't get me wrong, i like ballads. just not these kind of ballads...

alright... i'm done...... for now.

[Catatonik]

I have yet to find any R&B I like, but that doesn't mean I dislike/hate the genre...just that to date it has had no appeal to me :)

[darkturkey]

I find Country horrible, even if they try to through in some rock elements, I just can't stand the vocals. In fact I'd compare country vocal to chalk on the blackboard, they are both very screechy.

[hokageryu]

pop i hate pop

[Catatonik]

define Pop :)

[Kami-Sama]

i just hate.....ummmmmm.....

1. Bachata....DAMN YOU!!!!
2. Reguetton..... DAMN YOU TWICE!!!!!


i can stand everything else, if it was made with talent :thumbs

[killkenada]

hmmm, R&B, most emo, and bubblegum pop
ok...
R&B, i have nothing against it, it just doesnt appeal to me, although i think the artists are very talented at what they do

emo, some, i really like. the rest, garbage. All fans of emo music assume they must dress a certain way and think a certain way. i think saying that all of them cut their wrists is slightly exaggerated and stereotypical. but i do believe they think they have to live out a certain lifestyle. its as if they have to prove something :s

bubblegum pop, really corny pop music...what else needs to be said?

[mow]

Hmmm least favourite genre. I dont think I have one. Instead, I have genres that I havent fully delved myself into (or havent been properly introduced to). Country and Metal come to mind (but metal will chnage, thanks to Cata and his Metal thread :P)

[Catatonik]

Why thank you More, I am trying :)

As to Country, maybe after I work my way through the Metal threads, I'll do a Country thread fer ya :)

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

I like just about every genre ever.

Except Rap. Rap can die. There is good rap, that I can appriciate. But it does NOT make up for the "yo playa, I capped my peeps 'cause I'm gangsta, yo!" shit.

[NaRa]

i'm pretty much the same as moe not into metal or country but not because i dislike em...well i dislike country sorta.but not metal..Not all emo is bad -_-.And they usually write about all types of relationships good and bad.its just easy to get material from that kinda stuff because everyones been through it.

[DyersEve]

back for another rant! :evil

i... hate.... garage rock!!! what do i mean by garage rock? all these new shitty bands such as:

the white stripes
i hate these two clowns the most. their lyrics suck, jack can't sing for shit. he's one of those stupid psuedo intellectuals that i can't stand. but i have to say.. meg white is pretty hot.

franz ferdinand
that stupid song..... take me out... RRRGG. if i were to make a list of the most annoying songs ever created, that pile of dung would be pretty freakin near the top. bad lyrics, bad song structure.... everything sucks about this band.

the yeah yeah yeah's
it seems like every band that comes out these days is determined to make their music sound as shitty as possible due to shit production. this particular group of talentless hacks are certainly no exception.

jet
i listened to their album "get born" not too long ago, and found their songs eerily similar to bon scott era ac/dc stuff. and that kind of pissed me off, because i really like ac/dc; especially bon scott era shit. this band would be better if they had more guitar solos, less cheesy ballads, and not so stupid lyrics. (see "are you gonna be my girl", "fool of every one") but i will say this: "cold hearted bitch" is an ok song.

the hives
there are two bands that i blame for this recent uprising of garage rock; and they are the hives, and the white stripes. i hate this band for many reasons, all similar to why i hate the white stripes. shitty sound, shitty lyrics, shitty song structure.

while i'm at it, i'd also like to make concious my hatred for maroon 5.

almost every girl i've come across loves the peek of their shittiness with the song: "she will be loved". often using the word "sweet" and "touching" in conjunction. yeah right... how is:

"look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay awhile. she will be loved."

sweet or touching? for fuck's sake, the dude just said:

"slip the little emo chick in the corner some alchohol, taker home and bang the bajeesus out of her."

she'll be loved alright....... ok. done now.

[metronomy]

HAHAHA! im not even a fan of franz ferdinand! and i can appreciate take me out as a great song... bad "song structure" pffft!

All these " new" shitty bands erm mate! whitestrips were making music when you were in nappies!

Jet are not Garage rock! and to be honest eother are franz ferdinand! and the hives are boardline! yeah yeah yeahs are excellent! least they do something original! download a song called "maps" then come back to me with your "shit production. this particular group of talentless hacks"

Now The Vonbondies, The Datsuns, John Spencers Blues Explosion, Thee Exciters there some garage rock bands for when you want to rant next!

moral of the story i dont perticully like garage rock either! i think alot of it is formularic and alot of the bands sound the same! but if you going to rant, get some facts right first!

*does he rant on about metal music or not*

nah do you no what mate! whats the point! tell you what tho, give me white strips over slipknot anyday!

over and out

[mow]

Now now guys, I know your not fightening, but let's not get things heated up in here oka? :amuse

though, Dyers, mate you have a pickel with everything dont you? :P Your more picky than I am!
Though I have to say, "take me out" is Franz's worst song. The album has MUCH better tracks, just checl it out.

The hives rock
Whit stripes rock
Yeay Yeah Yeah rock (though overhyped, I'll agree that they rock fully once I hear their 2nd album)

Jet rip of AC/DC sound., but hey, at least they admit it, right? its not like they clami they are making the sound, the bassist himself was wearing a AC/DC t-shirt in there first video. I respect that they showed respect. That alone puts them in my good side.

Maroon 5, i agree with you, they totally suck IMO. I cannot stand them, heard them over and over again, yet I cannot see what's so amazing about them?
I mean:-

Keane > Maroon 5
Coldplay > maroon 5
The Doves > maroon 5
StarSailor > maroon 5

poop > maroon 5 :laugh

[metronomy]

my moaldy old sock > maroon 5

meh! anyway im not pickey! i have loads in my c.d collection from jazz/indie/hardcore/emo/classical/glam rock loads and loads more XD

[DyersEve]

All these " new" shitty bands erm mate! whitestrips were making music when you were in nappies!
the white stripes formed in 1997, i was well out of my nappies by then. i meant "new" more like just became mainstream. sorry i didn't make that very clear.

yeah yeah yeahs are excellent! least they do something original! download a song called "maps" then come back to me with your "shit production. this particular group of talentless hacks"
i've heard that song on the radio. about a million times. and it's my opinion that it's complete horseshit written by a group of talentless hacks who have shitty production.

*does he rant on about metal music or not*
no. because i thoroughly enjoy metal music.


though, Dyers, mate you have a pickel with everything dont you?
oh man.. you havent seen anything yet. :wink

Jet rip of AC/DC sound., but hey, at least they admit it, right? its not like they clami they are making the sound,
indeed, i would be forced to slay them if they did.

[metronomy]

well then 1997 making you six lol! XD

[DyersEve]

i was seven :amuse

so close.. yet so far ..

[metronomy]

><

i was still in nappies at seven! i thought it was normal! XD

[Catatonik]

Okay I have to back DyersEve here.

The White Stripes suck. Seriously. Their musicl composition is shit, the production is brutal, Jacks voice is terrible and the guitars sound like they were filtered through a freaking nineteen twenties fucking speaker.

Lyrically....

*backs off* Let's just leave it at "I think the White Stripes are a complete fucking waste of musical play time."

I feel much the same way about the Hives, though not quite as extreme.

I have had little to no experience with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but what little I have had, hasn't inspired me to explore further.

I'm not slagging the Garage Rock sound, but I must admit, that very little of it has caught enough of my interest to warrant more than a simple, "not bad."

Oh, and I genuinely dislike Slipknot :)

[killkenada]

Okay I have to back DyersEve here.

The White Stripes suck. Seriously. Their musicl composition is shit, the production is brutal, Jacks voice is terrible and the guitars sound like they were filtered through a freaking nineteen twenties fucking speaker.

I disagree, i think that the aim was to make the guitars sound that way
you know to make good music, it doesnt have to sound perfect. if tht makes sense

although i do agree with you on one thing...slipknot=shit

[metronomy]

^ meh see white strips live then come back and tell me there shit! i wasent a great white strips fan untyill i saw them! it blew me away

[DyersEve]

disagree, i think that the aim was to make the guitars sound that way you know to make good music, it doesnt have to sound perfect.

whoa, whoa, whoa. timeout...

i never said the white stripes weren't music, of course they are. i never meant to lead anybody to think i was saying that since they sounded so shitty (to me anyways) that they weren't music.

[metronomy]

lol im gonna go listen/watch to my white strips live in blackpool dvd now XD

I'll revize it then. I don't like most rappers who's songs are about gangbanging, their money, their "bitches", and most boasting. I like some korean rap showed to me by a friend. I like almost all rap beats. Especially Lean Back's beat.

[Keramachi]

I understand that you can't just look at an entire genre and dismiss it, which is why it's hard to post in this thread. I know there is good rap out there, and when I have heard it, I enjoyed it, but most mainstream rap all sounds the same to me. When I say "mainstream rap," I mean the rap Erkekjetter referred to:
I'll revize it then. I don't like most rappers who's songs are about gangbanging, their money, their "bitches", and most boasting.I also don't particularly like heavy metal. Most of it sounds the same to me. As I said before, you can't take a genre and cast it aside. I like Metallica, and if Jethro Tull can win a grammy for heavy metal, then I know it can't be all bad.

don't get me wrong, i like ballads. just not these kind of ballads...

alright... i'm done...... for now.

So I read through all of your posts in this thread and I have to say that i truly have zero respect for you opinions. YOu seem to be drawing each and ever judgement of the bands you reference off of the one or two songs you heard from them off the radio. That is complete and utter crap in my opinion. No truly good and honest band will be able to represent themselves fully through just one song. Each song is a different aspect of what that band is really about. In the case of bright eyes, whose song you so shamelessly and ignorantly quoted as a reference to a bad song, I can tell you that that song is only reflective of the band in respect to all their other work. Connor Oberst, of Bright Eyes, has the most distinctive and important qualitiy of transforming each and every element of life he paints in his songs into an a fulcrum of hope and optimism. That single song is only reflective of Bright Eyes if you have the previous understanding that Connor struggles to maintain his hope for love through all the stupid mistakes and relationships he is continualy finds himself in. It isn't whining, because he isnt asking for pity. He only ever tells of his negative experiences to portray his stuborn optimism in this struggle. Everyone knows life sucks, but the truly great people find ways to appreciate it nonetheless. How can you trash Bright Eyes for whining when you listen to tool? I like Tool, but their Mannard's lyrics are far closer to whining that Conor's.
In regards to White Stripes, I do truly enjoy them because they are very honest in their music and that is the basis for thier music. They went through the trouble of recording their music on the same system the beatles (i think or was it the stones?) used 40 years ago, because they want the sound people hear to belong to them. Every musiciian you hear today is filtered so many times and have their vocals keyed up or down to perfection, but the Stripes went out of their way to make sure that you get to hear them. I also have mad respect for them for covering so many Delta Blues songs. Furthermore I love the fact that they are freaking weird and have stragne style, yet never attempt to emphasize that. Their videos never focus in on their clothing or makeup, they just artisticaly reflect the music. The White Stripes are a living testament to all the greats that came before them and it is truly amazing that they can create such a deep and rich sound with only two members of their bands. NExt time before you so criticaly start judging music, maybe you should put the time in to actually investigate and learn for yourself instead just being a typical anti-product of the pop-music scene/radio.

On topic, the only genre I can say i dislike as a whole is country, but that is merely because country is basicaly a popified version of a much better genre: folk. Any music that is made for the primary reason of selling I will dislike because of it's ungenuiness. A true musician only makes music out of a personal necessity. I can still like many alternate forms of country, but the straight up twangy nashville bullshit breaks my heart. There are still alt.-country heroes like Wilco who redeem the genre. If you haven't heard Yankee Foxtrot Hotel, then you really need to go pick it up. It is seriously one of the best albums ever produced and it was only released through the hardwork, dedicatoin and determination fo the band to get it out their.

[mow]

Elliot, you made the lousiness and over all ridiclousiness of this thread go away with that post. Thank you for providing a logical voice in this matter. As always you provide us with the clearest, most well though-out & muscially passionate response. I honestly appluad you.

[onlyelliot]

Dude, I seriously can't help it! I can't just sit by and watch as people shamelessly and ingorantly trash bands I respect. It isn't as if I don't understand where the guy is coming from, but it really is no excuse to judge so harshly as a reaction to the pop culture filter on these musicians. Maybe this is just his initial impression on these bands and maybe he will be willing to look into them more now that someone has given him a reason to, and that will be the true show of wether or not i can respect his opinions, but there is nothing resectful about judging bands without really looking into their music and what they are all about.

[Inochi no Fushigi]

Rep goes to you, Elliot. You're the first person I've repped on this site, but I think you deserve it.

Alas, I've seen some pretty hard skulls in my life, and I think it'd take the intervention of a miracle worker to get that completely through to people.

The only genre in the world that I don't "like" is possibly country. I actually like a few country songs I could name off the top of my head, but there are no actual artists of the genre that I've gotten into yet. At the same time, though, I think that could be because it's such a hard genre to come by. I only know one person of all the friends I have ever met in my life that likes country music. She introduced me to a few artists/bands.

As a side note, I also haven't been properly introduced to metal. While I liked it right off the bat, it was your stereotypical goth that introduced me to it. That goth is one of my best friends, but he's just... eh... the goth most people would imagine. And, he tends to like music that does more frustrated and incoherent yelling than anything that has anything I can truly like. Don't get me wrong, though. The yelling doesn't bother me. It's just that, after so much of it and not seeing anything ELSE (referring to everything he introduced me to), I'm ready for something else.

I will go check out those threads you gave to other people now, Moe and Catatonik.

I cant help but hate arabian music, if thats not a catagory, then i choose metal

[mow]

I cant help but hate arabian music,

LOL!!!
srry mate, I dont know why , but I burst out from laughter when I read that :laugh.

Im not sure if you can call that a genre, I mean the only connection between arabic aongs is, well, arabic. Yet the vast majority of arabic songs (lebaneses, eygptian, emarite, kuwaityy etc) suck beyond recognition. I really cant think of any arabic song that I sincerely enjoyed in the the past 6-8 yrs =/ (aside from Amro Dyab whose albums are always top notch) and I lived in the middle east all my life, so I heard alot of junk :P. Aside from the classics such as um Kalthoom (who has a similiar influence as is the beatles + Bob Dylan did in the west), Abd El Haleem Hafeez (the eygptian equiviliant of Marving Gaye), Farieed El Atrash, Sayeedhom and a few others I cannot recall atm, the state of music in the arabic world is disasterous.

But if you want to hear brilliant arabic compostion, check Omar Khyrat. I made a thread about him right here (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=22739&highlight=omar)

Nah, Christian Rock and Roll is my least favourite genre. The entire concept of good art and good music taking a back seat to delivering a message really irks me. Make music that you're passionate about, and if that passion is god let the music reflect that, don't try and be something you aren't to appeal to others and don't paint up your message as something it's not. Don't tell me your god is cool, show me your god is cool by doing something well.

Anyway, that's all.

Have I ever gave you Sufjan Stevens? A folk rock singer/songwriter who incorprates religion in his music and he does it in such a lovely manner. however I fully agree with what you stated. Religious music is usually hard to get into, as the musician force what they believe on the listener and dont reflect real passion in it.

Honestly this is making me wonder why I never discussed music from the middle East and northen Africa (eygpt, Morocco, Tunisa etc). There are some excetionally talented musicians there. It's quite rare to find an arabic singer who sings AND compses. In the case of Um Khalthoom and Abd El Haleem, They were superb vocalists, their abilities to convey emotions was astonishing. But they had lyrics written for them (not like they hid it or anything, everyone used to do that). Their fav poet was Nizaar El Qabannee, Ahmed Shawqee, Ahmed Ramee and Beyram El Tunisee (all are arguably among the greatest poets of all time, you have no idea how marvellous their work is. Reading their poetry alon is worth learning arabic for). Im espically fond of Nizaar (his works were so passionate, practically used by every guy to entrance his girl :laugh) and Beyram is hilarious :laugh. Witty, ingenius and sarcastic to the highest extent. God, I cant believe I didnt bring any of their books or cds with me. But if you want to listen to some music you can go to:
www.6arab.com

Ill make a featured genre thread about this later on. there is so much to discuss

[Catatonik]

I hate 80's Porn Music.

Really, it doesn't hold up against the mellow hip wriggling sounds of the brilliant 70's Porn Music...except for the Debbie Does Seeries...damn good tunes all the way...

Why is everyone looking at me like that?

[mow]

^ I have to strongly disagree, the 80's porn music took the 70's porn music, dicarded the bad and enhanced the good by adding the electronic keyboard to the mix, hence the result was mellow hip wriggling electronic and elcentric tunes. How can you not love that Cata?

Tsk tsk tsk.

[monk3]

moe dont double post. ive been here long enough to know that.

aye aye =]

[Catatonik]

moe, 80's Porn only took the weakest elements ad highlighted them. The 70's still held strong to illsuions of having plots and stories, hence the music was more characteristic, while almost all 80's Porn music was bland and generic..

sheesh :P

[mow]

I take personal offense to that remark :mad. You are simply too close minded to come to the realization that 80's porn music exhibited all elements that music nowadays lack: Passion, humor & experimantation. The reason why 80's porn music might seem bland isnt due to the musician (the so talented I-iz-smokin' comes to mind) but due to the horrible acting and non existing plots in 80's porn! Do not blame the music! Blame the actors and directors! The only decent aspect in 80's porn was the music.

I mean come on! they used an electronic keyboard! That alone leads to :-

80's porn music > 70's porn music

nuff said :P

[Catatonik]

:guns

Damn you...70's Porn Music owns on 80's Grr.

Okay....umm, I'm done going off topic.

Admittedly, I am not a fan of most of the pop-punk genre, though I have heard some tunes I am not totally opposed to...but IMO the best pop-punk album was created as a parody of the sound

Punky Brewster - Cooked on Phonics.

[onlyelliot]

You guys are both on crack 50's porn music totally dominates every other decade put together. I mean who doesn't hear a barbershop quartet in their head when they are about to get it on? I know I do.

[mow]

but did the 50's have music created by musicians bareing mullets ? I think not :noworry

[Erkekjetter]

^He's got a point.

[onlyelliot]

the 50's was the decade of the crew cut I mean how can you go wrong with sex and a crew cut?

[onlyelliot]

actually, I'll have to concede. there is no better hair for grabbing during sex than a mullet. Trust me I would know (don't trust me I really wouldn't know).

Simple, did homer have a crew cut do? No.

Did he have a a mallet hair-do? Yes.

[delirium]

Muhahahaha.. Bumped the wrong thread.. but since it's back.. I gotta say, my least favorite genre would be....

Techno and the like. At least... I have to be in the mood for it.

[Jackal Iscariot]

metal >____>

[Instant Karma]

My least favorite would probably be the regional mexican band music. I love everything bout mexico except for that music. I just can't seem to dig it at all.

[Dr. Boskov Krevorkian]

As guess as it's done respectfully, this could go on...

However, I doubt any elaboration will be met.

As for me, Ima have to go with techno too. I just don't enjoy it that much, and to me, it redefines repetitive music. I don't get the rave/dance mentality of it, and it, in reality, just bores the livin' daylights outa me. I won't say I haven't given it a shot, and I'm still open to suggestions, but damn...

[jkingler]

Bad techno, "emo," pop-hop, Nashville country, and pop that is made by talentless harlots...I hate those, for the most part. :P

[Cell]

Well, I like a bit of everything, but these are the genres that I pretty much hate.

Progressive rock, Mettalica-esqe thrash metal, mainstream screamo/emo, bubblegum pop, tough guy punk, horror punk (other than Misfits), a huge amount of pyschobilly, mallcore, rave music, bad techno (Every Time We Touch comes to mind...) etc.

[Suikka]

There's always something good in every genre, but.. I must say that I can't really stand heavy metal.

[Hangatýr]

Nu-metal and nu-emo is a whole. I mean, both genres have some talent and prospect in them, but are wasted because the insane ammounts of shite in there. I can stand Justin Timberlake as he currently is far more than the likes of current KoRn, Slipknot, Fall Out Boy and so on.

[cbent22]

Country music... i dont hate it but its just not really my scene and i try to stay away from it the most.

I'm just waiting for some good Nu-Metal. I personally haven't experienced any, but I'm still hoping for some. There is potential it just isn't realised, at least in my encounters.

As for the country problems, I could scream Elliot BROOD all day...

[Hangatýr]

Cowboy Bebop'd have more of an effect, I think.

Because I speak from a position of knowledge here ;)

I find it amusing that no one seems to be defending Pop. xD

That actually reminds me to get started on a project I have been bumping around for a while.

[Cardboard Tube Knight]

I find it amusing that no one seems to be defending Pop. xD

Country is my least favorite.

Pop doesn't need to be defended, its the music of the masses. It's like nobody has to defend chocolate from chocolate haters. To tell the truth I have nothing against pop and I don't see a problem with it. I just have a problem with the way radio stations present songs to the public. I actually like some pop, not really recently because of the fact I don't listen to the radio, but its not unheard of for me to like a song I hear second hand.

I don't have a problem with the genre, but I have a problem with the idea of it. Pop, being short for popular, gives the impression that the only good music, is the popular music. Poppy sounding music, I have no problem with, but when the mass produced pop music that panders to the masses is shoved down our collective throats is when I have a problem. There are some geniunely good and interesting Pop acts, both on the Radio and off it, but from what I've heard on the radio, I have little reason to go back to it.

Well pop has taken on a life of its own, it used to be you called everything on the top forty charts pop or top 40. Now there is pop as a genre, that is to say someone is making pop for the sole(sp?) purpose of it being popular and not to be anything other than a money maker it seems.

I do think that when you have music you have to try and put some soul into it, it has to feel like its alive and like its not just something a bunch of writers cranked out to sell some CDs.

I stopped listening to the raido so long ago, and now when I have to use it, like when I don't have CDs, I use the XM and even on there I can't find music I like to listen to, except maybe on the 90s station.

By the way, did anyone happen to see what the Fray said at the music awards? They said they are really thankful to the fans they got from Grey's A (which wasn't the first show to feature their music) but then the lead singer went on to say they were going to keep catering to the people who were there before because the television audiences were very fickle.

@Shalashaska

I know most genres take a lot of their roots from it basically all guitar based genres mix with country as well as their riffs. Its has never tickled my fancy as far as the lyrics go as well as the melody.

[Hangatýr]

Which artists have you given a go, and which albums?

[Michers]

@Shalashaska- The only country music I happen to like/tolerate are the ones that my mom plays on full blast over and over so I get used to it and it doesn't bother me...And they happen to be Texas Tornados (more like a tejano type music with country elements...), Alison Krauss, Randy Travis, and Johnny Cash. As a whole country music just isn't my cup of tea. I never really cared for country music...

Edit: But I'm willing to listen to it..if you could recommend some good artists.

[Liengod]

Which artists have you given a go, and which albums?

Really mostly just the mainstream stuff like Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Tobey Kieth, and Tim McGraw which my parents listen to. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you considered some of the bands I listen to country though they're usually classified along the lines of folk or indie.

I really don't dislike the genre. I just tend to not prefer listening to it more than others because of the music my ears are accustomed to.

Some of Johnny Cash's tunes I love though.

[jkingler]

If you're listening to obscure and awesome (post-)rock bands like Mogwai and Godspeed, you need to look for or allow us to direct you towards obscure and awesome country. Trust--there's good to be had from every genre. The challenge is in looking for it, asking for it, and actually getting around to listening to it. :amuse

I can agree on that. For longest time I had a pretty tasteless music preference, but overtime through certain bands I found my favorites which aren't mainstream at all as far as in the US.

If you have any recommendations that'd be nice. :amuse

I'm really digging Elliot Brood - Second Son.
They'll probably easily be one of my favorites if a lot of their songs are like this.

[jkingler]

BROOD for sure. Also, the Interpestuals. And Nickel Creek. And Bela Fleck.

There are plenty more that are fucking great, but any of those would be a great place to start. :D

Country is definitely more diverse and rewarding a genre than the T.V., radio, and mainstream word of mouth would have you believe. <3

Jeez, why you harping on people that have a dislike for a certain genre of music? Lots of people dislike Country and Hip-Hop...its nothing new. I for one dont like Country or Hip-Hop either, but there IS good stuff in both genres. Its the mainstream stuff that cause most people to hate those genres. Im sure everyone could find SOME single,album, or band in ANY genre that they would like, but they dont bother because its not their type of music, and when they do hear the disliked genre, its the mainstream stuff on the radio that usually turns them off.

Also, when people say they hate pop, do they include 80s pop? Because i really dislike current pop, but i lurve 80s pop.

[Cell]

All genres have something good.

[Tehol Beddict]

Dude, if they can find albums in any genre that they like, as you say, then how is it "not their type of music"? Our point is that they don't really know the music, and if they took the time to actually get the gems that every genre has to offer, rather than just settling for an opinion fed to them by a radio, they would find that, as you say, there is great stuff across the board, and that it is, in fact, "their thing".

Mainstream does not define the genre, so it's not okay to form your opinions of music by it. If I based my likes off of mainstream product like you're suggesting that it's okay to do, I would fucking hate music.

[Tmb04]

Its very easy to like a single album or artist of a certain genre, but still dislike the genre. I like Kanye West, but that doesn't mean that "hip-hop" is my kind of music.

And its not me that hears the mainstream stuff, and then puts of the genre. Its people in general. Its just how the human mind works. Its like tasting a really bad food. Afterwards, you probably aren't going to try it again. Its the same way with music. You hear something really bad from a genre you dont normally listen to, and you probably aren't going to want to give it another try.

Again, I'm not saying this is me or you, but probably about 80% of the music community.

If kanye is the best you can cite from hip-hop, please ask for directions to the nearest good music available.

"Goodness" should define your music taste, not genre. If you profess to not like a genre, you just don't know enough good music that it encompasses. And they're all full of phenomenal shit, so it's just a matter of putting for the effort to experience it.

True, but are most people going to go through the trouble of looking into a genre they dislike? They arent. You will always have haters on certain genres simply because they dislike what they hear most often, the mainstream. A small portion delve deeper into genres they dislike, even to find the slightest beacon of light, but most, almost all, dont bother.

Hell, they're in a giant dome of it here in the md, but they'd still drown on shit if they didn't take the time to pay attention. And they don't. Some of us are just disgusted with the fact that so many people are so blatantly willing to suffocate on excrement when all they'd have to do to breathe clean air is grab an offered hand, even if they're too lazy too lazy to climb the ladder this place gives them by just existing.

Anybody that comes in here with the typical "I hate country and rap" statement simply has no idea what they are taling about. This is not a crime, though it's a shame, given the information surrounding them in the md, if they'd but look. It become a crime when they choose to go around the truth we're holding up on our big carboard signs, simply to pursue the maintaining of ignorance.

I definitely understand why you are upset. I'm also glad that you are going through the trouble to make people realize that they shouldn't hate a certain type of music just because of a few songs. Some people will change, but the masses wont. People are ignorant, and it will never change.

But then again, there are those who have experienced that genre, and simply do hate it. I will admit that i have been turned off by certain genres due to mainstream. Living in the south, all i hear is Country and Rap. I wont use the term hate though, because there are certain songs or artists i like, but i will use the word dislike to describe my feelings toward those two genres. I simply don't enjoy listening to that style of music like i do classic rock, classic pop, or alternative.

[Tehol Beddict]

I'm going to do you a favor and hold out my hand again. One country album, one rap album. We'll move on from there depending on your reaction.

Elliot BROOD - Ambassador
Aesop Rock - Labor Days

PM Delirium and get yourself put on the pimp list as soon as possible and just listen to the shit that flows through here is the best advice I can give though, really.

I live somewhere pretty fucking bad for music, too - oklahoma. I used to share your perspective on the issue, but I was wrong. Something I didn't realize until I was given the opportunity to really get my hands on it and look for myself.

Anyways, I'll upload those two albums for you, so they'll be in your pm's after a while. Let me know what you think once you've had the chance to listen.

Most people who say they hate country and rap haven't took the time to listen to anything past Tim McGraw or 50 Cent.

I can thank jkingler for making me look at country again a couple years back, actually, by tossing me some nickel creek. I liked some at that point, just stuff that most people know and can't not admit is awesome, like johnny cash, I just hadn't really looked very deeply. Now I know stuff like BROOD and The Interpestuals <3

Same for hip-hop, actually, since I think jingles was the first person to introduce me to aesop rock, which forced me to stick my face into the genre as hard as I could. Nothing can produce something that good and not merit a fuckload more interest and love than I was giving it, even though I did like it in passing.

Those albums are on the way :3

Most anything annoys me that is popular right now.

Rock and all of it's annoying subgenres, rap, hip hop, metal, all of that stuff. I also am not a big fan of country or techno.

I think we've established that you only like classical music, Bassoonist, thanks.

[Enter Shikari]

I pretty much like all genres, the one a bit more than the other.
But I HATE and I mean HATE 'Schlager'!!! Dunno if anyone knows it, just google it up and you'll know what I mean

>_> Okay, whatever. I'm still allowed to post in this topic, you know? It's not like I post in topics 5 times repeating the same crap, so I don't need your complaining. Thank you very much.

Besides, classical isn't all I like. I went a little over the top in saying I hate all rock, I should have said hard rock. I like soft rock, softer classic rock, and oldies. I also like jazz... so don't think that classical is all I listen to.

I don't particularly like classical music. I think it's boring.

Yes, but it's the attitude that bothered me:

As if you are somehow better. Whether or not you meant it, that's how I percieved it. I do not wish to get into a flaming war. :/ If so, no hard feelings.

Maybe bubbly pop because of the voices xDD

Country, i've listened to plenty of it cuz my mom's a big country fan, but i just can't get with it for some reason
