Least Favourite Genre

melvins wrote: I dont see why everyone hates rap so much, it requires a lot of talent to write a set of (decent) rap lyrics. And it's almost impossible to write great ones. Of course it's easy to put it down, if you base your opinion on what's on MTV or the radio, but if you look at seperate groups who arent famous (underground groups)  then you'll see really great, and creative lyricists and song writers.

Blame mainstream rappers for tarnishing their image.

Another thing about rap is, despite how good the lyrics supposedly are, is it really music?
Isn't it more rhythmically talking over a computer generated beat/sample of someone else's song?

Rap has got to be the worst (in my opinion). It's barely music, more like cavemen boasting over repetitive drumbeats. Of course that is a generalization, but it is a valid one. In saying that, all of those genres are almost uniformly terrible in my opinion.

Who cares if this is pretentious, we can't change our opinion.

it b good if i could vote more than once cause all but one genre is sh*t there

You know, every freaking day, my roommate plays some rap/r'n'b whatever really loud, so that I can hear the bass boom through the walls. Anyway, when I open the door, it's always something like "yeah, baby" "you so sweet" "shake dat azz baby" and it really makes you wonder, don't they really have anything else than ass-shaking in their lifes?

I'm voting for Emo. I was invited to a band that I thought had nice potential and i was slightly misled that it was gonna be some great classical-oriented rock with emphasis on keyboards.

No, band is a disaster in terms of enthusiasm and the guy who has the least talent is all pretending to be leader and wants us to sound like emo and pop/punk . That alone, made me send instantly a "goodbye" message.

I can't stand emo, it's just awful.

2nd worst place goes to american idol pop, it's so generic and so far from art, it's ridiculous.

I am with most in my dislike for most of the genres listed.  My vote was for rap.  But my least favorite genre is Country.  I actually liked some of the original early rap like Run D-M-C and Tone Loc.  I suppose enough over exposure and the beat sometimes works its way into the brain.  That and I think I might have heard that riff/beat somewhere else before..

i hate all those genres in that style so i cant decide probably 50 cent,but i have a huge hate for my chemical romance because unfortunately i had to do security for one of there concerts.

OK, I'm going to have to be normal this time (for a change) and pick the one thats most popular right now - rap.

i mean, don't get me wrong, real rap isn't too bad. But the over-commerciallised crap that "rappers" like 50cent, g-unit, snoop dawg and all the rest of these wannabe's is just pure, plain, utter crap. and you can't make crap without the rap, so i'ma tap this post n take a nap...

but yeah, i can handle the rest of that stuff, sometimes. but pop-style-rap... ... ...
