What genre of music do you DISLIKE the most?

Question

For me it would have to be country and rap. I just hate the majority of modern rap. It's the same shit with slightly different lyrics. I do enjoy some of the more creative and "deep" artists like Tyler the Creator, Kid Cudi, Death Grips, Hopsin, etc. Country I just could never get into at all except for a select few songs from a select few artists. I enjoy classic country a lot more than modern country, save for Hank Williams III. That dude is just awesome.

Rap, for the same reasons that you outlined in your question.

The current trend in country is also not to my liking.
I call a lot of it 'ghetto country', not all, but enough to find myself frequently asking my wife to change the station if we're in the car together and listening to music on the radio.
Today's country music seems as if it is trying to garner fans from many different genres, leaving true country fans wondering what the hell is going on.
I grew up being virtually unaware of country music. My wife introduced me to country, and at that time, in the 1990s, I did surprisingly, find it to my liking.
Classic country from it's inception up to maybe somewhere in the, I don't really know decades, again because of my ignorance of it until the 1990s, I now find it to be great.

Heavy metal is also in my categories of dislike.

I'm a classic rocker, but I am amenable to many current rock bands.

I could go into other genres that I like, but that is not the point of this question.

Cheers to all!

Modern pop and progressive rock.

Modern pop is nothing but mostly empty lyrics and plastic artists. Some of them are supported by particular people to top the charts and been told to sing a certain way, wear in a certain way, speak in a certain way, just to impact the popular culture and influence people specially youth in a way they want. Some of them are disconnected from the reality and real life. The rest are following the trend like a puppet just to be relevant and sell something, no integrity on their own.

About progressive rock, i don't like it musically. I could never connect with it's unorganized method of writing.

I was going to agree with rap but I don't class rap as music. It's just people with zero musical ability chanting and either whinging the police are discriminating against them because their criminals or people boasting and making threats.

Country is ok but it has to be the more cheery stuff, not the "I want to blow my brains out but I can't afford bullets because my wife has run off with her lesbian lover to find jesus" crap

Folk music is cringeworthy and should never be heard unless you've had at least 3 pints of cider.

rienna888 · Accepted Answer

Dam I completely agree, rap music, death metal and most country music.

Finchie40 · Answer

I am with you, country and rap doesn’t nothing for me , maybe a couple songs here and there that are ok but I am not a fan what-so ever , I am more of a Progressive rock / metal/ Classic rock fan but I do like a lot of genres of other Music as well , but progressive rock is my top

NathanDavis · Answer

I'm pretty much the same, I don't actually dislike country music I just could never get into it... so I just don't listen to any of it

and this new thing they call "mumble rap" I just can't stand it... and same with most of the "modern" takes on rap... these things are usually a minute and a half of the most insipid and basic track of beats and then zero substance to any sort of wording craft

jshm2 · Answer

You're full of it, as you just don't understand modern rap. Take Twista:

Speed and flow is the name of the game and it's artistry lays in the lyrics matching the events unfolding. It's like looking at a "snapshot" of violence.

Then you have some Eminem.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/qleJpzB4q7A

It's descriptive and jokey with a lot of ego and arrogance in there. But the aim is to annoy and entertain. The artistry lays in the accuracy and wordplay of events.

weeee · Answer

there's something i can appreciate in every form of music from black metal to kpop. I dont think there's anything i really genuinely dislike.

Also, you should check out clipping. I think you'll like them given the list of artists you mentioned.

Hauntingly beautiful song. Pay attention to the beat and lyrics closely.

NamerOfStars · Answer

I would say "Mexican polka", but that's not a genre of music. It's one song that three billion minutes long, and they just take chunks of it out whenever it's time to make a "new" song. That's why they all sound freaking identical; they're all part of the same tune. This doesn't apply to other forms of polka (and I don't speak German or Czech, so that's not the problem), or other kinds of Mexican music (so THAT'S not the problem), but it IS similar to disco (which arguably IS the problem).

NightHawk99 · Answer

Fuckin pop music. Literally a vast majority of pop music is shit, like fucking K-pop (come at me bitches). All the wack ass dancing and fake singing. The pop genre died when Michael Jackson did, and so few have been able to get a real groove going since then.

I prefer rap, even though it's going down the same route. So few good lyricists now.

haooy · Answer

I don't hate any music. Yeah maybe mumble rap that is not written intelligently, just girls car and swimming pool. That shit is not for me.
Yeah you mentioned Hopsin, I remember his one song, Fly and maybe mind of Hopsin, his verses are witty.
I like country music too unlike you, if Bob Dylan is county (please listen to

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

I don't choose genres. I choose how it's executed. But most of the time, I really dislike rap. They all sound the same to me because I don't care much about song's lyrics and rap is all lyrics without any melodies. Sometimes modern trap songs sounds so bland with so many repetitive notes and only has 1 or 2 chord for the whole song.

Sonorous · Answer

Heavy Metal. Or just anything with less emphasis on a melody and more emphasis on... lOuD

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Rap!! (Someone left the C off of THAT word!!) Disco, pop princess garbage, modern metal, modern country and hardcore punk.

Andres77 · Answer

Rap.
Hip hop.
Country.
Auto tune and lack of actual skill (some singers might have a nice voice but not have adequate skill) and the twangy voices and instruments in country music just grate on my nerves.

Some rap/ hip hop is cool. I dislike Country. Boring and sad. I'll pass on that. I like complex music like metal and classical

MarkRet · Answer

For me, rap is the worst. It’s not even singing, just talk.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't dislike in genre because it is all music. People don't give some stuff a chance because they don't wanna be like the people who listen to it. I've hated country until I gave it a chance. I've hated rap and r&b until I gave it a chance. You also have to find songs you relate to. Cheesy love songs are only good once you are in real love. Then they make sense. They make perfect sense to why they sound that way. Most are too stuck in there ways to know they like more music than they realize.

Agape93 · Answer

Rap is fine. Trap is what I can't stand listening to.

Sargentcaptain · Answer

Turbo-folk by a country mile. Rap and hiphop are shit, so is modern pop, but I just can't stand a second of some dumb coked up shithead sing about fucking a bitch who's name he doesn't know, and that's the entire genre.

BuffHeracross · Answer

Probably pop. There are some pretty good pop songs but most of them are mushy garbage about love, which is an extraordinarily overdone subject. Why aren't there more songs like the Beetle's "Yellow submarine" or Micheal Jackson's "Thriller".

Very similar to you.
Hip/hop, rap - doesn't even qualify as "music", in my opinion.
CW from 70's to 90's- "the Prime Country" is worth listening to, but the current country/rock stuff kinda leaves me cold too.
