Worst Genre of Music

Rap is the worst of all - I just cannot understand why it's called MUSIC at all.

This ...... should be given another name.

A lot of people forget that rap was actually awesome in the 80s: the group Public Enemy actually did a concept album if I'm not mistaken, and Mike Portnoy actually lists one of their albums as one of his top 20 of all-time on his website , mikeportnoy.com. Today's rap is very little like "classic rap"(?!? that sounded weird)

You...like...rap?

Then post your messages in the rap forum then.

I think means emotion and is more emotional punk (still being just crap)

What I hate the most is rap, specially some kind of caribean and south american rap called reggaeton, the lyrics are just as stupid as rap and the same go with the life style. but the topics are just denigrant and they make dirty analogies with sex.  It's very popular on caribean and south american countries like venezuela. In Peru a lot of people listen to that but thanks god it isn't THAT popular. 

Emo. Please don't remind me of this. I still have one more year of high school to get through dealing with all those "emo kids," their tight pants and whining.  

Also, Punk, Country/Western and rap () are horrible.

Big Band music is fun.

Emo (an abbreviation of "emotionally-driven Hardcore punk" or just "emotional-hardcore") is a term now broadly used to describe almost any form of guitar-driven alternative rock that expresses emotions beyond traditional punk's limited emotional palette of alienation and rage. It is also used to describe fans of this genre, most commonly teenagers. (e.g., emo kid). The actual term "emo" originated in the mid-1980s D.C. scene, with the band Rites of Spring, as well as bands such as Fugazi, Moss Icon, and Antioch Arrow. The term addressed both the way the band connected with its audience, as well as its tendency to deal more with topics of personal and relationship politics than with the standard themes of rock music.

Modern emo bands include AFI, Thursday, My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World, etc.  an "emo kid" is a punk version of a "goth kid".  I am not sure why fugazi is listed as emo, as they are clearly pioneers of the DC punk scene.

you're right, I enjoy Johnny Cash, but I guess I've never lumped him in with country.  He's way too versatile and artistic to be piled in with people whose main artistic objectives are record sales and inspiring a line-dance.  Cash is (was) a genre all his own.  can someone who did such an amazing cover of NIN really be called country?

I can't stand rap or hip-hop. THEY CAN"T SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!

The "c" in "rap" is silent.
